The new GS430 I'm buying is due at the dealer any day.

The dealer has quoted me 7.25% on a 4 year loan.

Is this the best Lexus is offering?

What rates have you seen?

I just looked over the rate I was given when we financed the GS430 over 5 years. 7.65% is what I see on the sheet. This was back in late May from Lexus up in NY. I am sure different regions like the South and West have cheaper rates. Best of luck Marty

Talking Trade In?

No matter what the final rate ends up, I just hope that you're trading in a Benz or something similar that leaves you only a small amount left to finance! 50+ Gs @ 7.25% for 48 months = my house payment! OUCH!!:eek:

GL with the new ride.

Have you considered a home equity loan? You can get one the exact size of your car, the interest will be lower then anything else you can get, and what interest you do pay is tax deductable.

I have several buddies who are CPA's, and they swear by it. They think a car loan is the worst investment you can make. I plan on doing this for my next hog.

Default Home equity line of credit

I used the home equity line of credit. It was only for 15k, at 7.9%. But I can figure about 30% less than that rate in the end, because I am writing it off at the end of the year. It is the best route to take, I think. It also depends on your loan to value ratio, which will tell what your able to get.
