Undoubtedly you’ve heard about the “zero percent financing” offers that many auto manufacturers have been promoting lately. Although they seem to be incredible deals and are certainly enticing, you should read the fine print and know the facts before you head to your local dealer.
Beware of Those Teaser Rates
Teaser rates have always been offered to drive more business to the dealerships but, all too often, these offers are not beneficial to the buyer. Knowing what to look for, and what questions to ask the dealer, will help you decide if zero percent is the best deal for you. Here are a few of the facts and restrictions that may apply:
- Almost perfect credit may be needed to qualify for these offers
- You may be required to give up a manufacturer’s rebate
- It could mean shorter terms and larger monthly payments
- It is usually offered on a limited number of models
- You may be limited to dealer stock and not be able to choose the exact vehicle you are interested in
