July’s 0 percent auto loan incentives are being offered on much longer loan lengths across several automakers, with some up to 72 months, or six years. By saving money on the free financing and stretching loans out to five or six years, buyers can also keep their monthly payments low.
Although most 0 percent auto loan incentives require a high credit score to qualify, shoppers who don’t qualify can still save money on their car loan. Most consumers who have good, but not excellent, credit can still get approved for discounted rates on their auto loans through the manufacturer.
