Car prices are rising, yet auto loan rates remain low, at least for now; to get behind the wheel, borrowers are taking out larger loans than ever.
To help buyers take advantage of the lowest auto loan rates today from local financial institutions, GOBankingRates released a list of the best rates in San Diego.
“Although mortgage rates are increasing, auto loan rates are still relatively low,” said Amanda Garcia, of GOBankingRates. “GOBankingRates consistently finds auto loan rates below 3% at many community banks and credit unions.”
GOBankingRates also surveyed the average auto loan rates on the city, state and national levels.
Average New Auto Loan Rates:
| San Diego | California | National | |
| 3-Year | 3.16% | 3.41% | 3.26% |
| 4-Year | 3.76% | 3.70% | 4.01% |
| 5-Year | 3.42% | 3.81% | 3.58% |
