    Give yourself the best possible deal: save the money for 36 months and then pay cash.

    3.99% is pretty good. i applied for financing and was offered 5.05% which independent bank financing which was supposed to be their best auto rate. i did apply for Toyota zero interest financing, but they turned me down

    Penfed credit union has 3.99% for up to 60 months. They send you a blank check you make it out to the dealer and your done.

    So, is Toyota offering 0% APR for the 2010? Or were you being facetious?:)

    No, you can see exactly what your payment will cost by calculating in the total cost you need to finance. They have no hidden fees. I do believe that you need good credit.

    If you want to join my credit union you can get 3.75% for 36 months. You just need to open a checking account with them and one of the below:

    1) Keep a balance of at least $1,000 in it
    2) Set up a direct deposit to get in once at least every 90 days
    3) Do some sort of online bill pay (not sure of the details)

    They also provide an auto draft check to make out to the dealer.

    i posted a similar topic and knew of the penfed rate. the CU that one poster had too many strings (unless you were alreay a member). i'd rather pay the 1/4 point more.

    i know rates are going up, wonder how long pen fed will offer that 3.99.

    if you financed thru toyota or tried to could you post what rate and terms they offered?

    please post here if you see something better than 3.99.

    id be looking for 36 month financing too.

    I just spoke with a service rep at PenFed. She said that they'll know tomorrow if the rate is going to change and that I can call back tomorrow. Her opinion and hope was that it would remain the same. I hope that's the case as I have a pre-approved loan and my car is expected to be available next Wednesday or Thursday.
