Each institution’s lowest advertised APR for the vehicle, at terms that reach 60 months: usually its best-credit rate, so yours depends on your credit, the term and the vehicle. A rate that needs autopay, a checking account or similar says “with conditions”; More filters can leave those out. Refinance, lease buyout, recreational and promotional rates that have ended are left out, and a rate far below what other lenders advertise is listed lower down until it’s checked. Carrot Score rates each institution on all its CD, savings, auto loan and credit card rates. How we rank
