Comparative Calculator
If the manufacturer offers a choice of either 0% financing or a rebate on the purchase of the car it is usually more beneficial to take the manufacturer's rebate. Why? When you take the rebate and put it towards the down-payment on your car, your loan payments are automatically calculated on a lower principal balance. Use this handy comparison calculator to calculate your savings.

by financing with Tech CU*
*Tech CU rate shown above is based on the lowest possible new auto loan rate, which includes a .50% rate discount for direct deposit to and automatic payment from a Tech CU account or pre-authorized electronic transfer directly to your loan from another financial institution and a .25% rate discount for purchase of a new auto through The Car Store. (Qualified direct deposits include recurring electronic deposits of your salary, pension or Social Security and recurring pre-authorized electronic transfers from another financial institution to your Tech CU checking or savings account. Minimum amount is $100 per deposit.)
Moreover, 0% financing offers usually have restrictions that apply, such as:
  • Near-to-perfect credit is usually required
  • It usually means shorter terms and larger monthly payments
  • These offers are usually limited to a limited supply of select car makes and models
When you finance your car loan with Tech CU, you can save on the rate by authorizing direct deposit to and automatic payment from a Tech CU account or pre-authorized electronic transfer directly to your loan from another financial institution.
