What APR did the dealer offer you?

[shiftdown]

On my previous C8, I went through the dealer initially to finance. I ended up with a 3.7% rate they farmed out to US Bank. I'm sure that includes .5% or so dealer add on. I've heard people have obtained some killer rates through GM Financial on other models.

My car is at 4B00 now, so I'm starting to look around for what's going go be the best bet. Inclined to put about 50% down for now. My own credit union has offered me 2.59% which is livable should nothing better come up.

Purchasing through Sewell, so if you have direct experience, that would be awesome. Not applicable to Military type credit unions or anything that would take special requirements. Just your regular jackass off the street

So, if you financed, what did you end up with for an interest rate?

Using lack of inventory as an excuse, dealers are doing all kinds of shenanigans. I had same issue with Acura dealer couple days back when I went to pick up the new Integra. They told me that they do not accept credit union and will only use their own finance.
Long story short, I ended up walking away.

Sorry to hear that. I just test drove a new Integra Saturday (under my policy to drive all new manual transmission cars that I can!), really nice car.

They told me that Acura is telling them that they are projecting the chip shortage to last another 3 years. Sounded like dealer BS, to pressure to get people to buy now while they can. Any possible truth to it? Makes me wonder if I should buy cars that I'd like to try (Integra, BRZ, etc.), drive them for a while, sell them later (or not) and not lose much money in the process.

The chip shortage is not going away any time soon. Manufacturer production as a whole is at 1/4 what it was before and the consensus is that you will no longer see high inventory levels at dealers anymore. Buying a new car is going to be an evolving experience.

That was my plan with Integra but unfortunately that didn't work. On the plus side my CT5-BW is built so hopefully I won't have to wait too long.

Anything below 4% right now is good. This is some of the lowest ones I've seen in the last month or so.

WOW!!! What an awesome rate.
Too bad there was a recent increase across the different terms of 2 - 3 points...
