2. Dealer auto financing. Is it a low rate auto loan or not?
In the car business dealer financing is known as Retail Installment Sales Contracts (or RISC's for short, an appropriate acronym). The dealer signs the RISC's with you, then sells it to a bank or other lender. Sometimes they participate in the low apr interest rate, so the higher the APR (annual percentage rate) they can charge you the more money they get. Dealer used car financing is just something else that dealers "sell" you, by going to an outside lending place you are cutting out the middleman (the dealer) and not paying any more than you have to for used car financing.
