Several automakers are still offering 72-month, 0 percent car loan incentives in September, which, if you qualify, is one of the best financing incentives around. Your credit score generally has to be in the 700 and higher range to qualify for most automakers’ interest-free auto loans.
Shoppers who don’t qualify can still save money on their car loan in other ways. Most consumers who have good, but not excellent, credit can still get approved for discounted rates on their auto loans through the manufacturer or their credit union, bank or private lender.
