How many dealers offer extraordinarily low interest rates and other exceptional promotions? Ads promising high trade-in allowances, paying off your trade or low-priced options may get you into the store, but finding your best deal requires a few careful comparisons.

A Few Questions to Ask:

• Does your financing require a large down payment?
• Are there limits on the payment length of the financing?
• Is there a significant payment, possibly several thousand dollars due at the end of your financing term?
• Must you purchase special merchandise or services such as extended warranty, rust-proofing, or a service contract to qualify for a low interest loan?
• Is the financing rate only available for a limited timey?
• Does the low rate apply to every vehicle in stock or only certain models?
• Are you required to give the dealer the manufacturer's rebate to qualify for financing?
• Will the car be a higher price to qualify for the low interest rate loan?
