Default Corvette loans

Is there any place that specializes in loans for corvettes? A local bank is offering 3.3 interest rates on cars but I was wondering if there is a cheaper place?

Sorry...I should have been more clear. I'm looking to buy used. Something in the 36-38k range.

3.3% is a pretty good rate for a used car.

I think that you'll find that 3.3% for 48 months is a great used car loan rate right now.

YUP! I'm at 3.5% with BOFA . Historically these are great used car rates! Just watch out for any application fees or early termination fees.

Just got 3.7% for 72 months on a used 07 thru Wells Fargo. So I think 3.4% for 48months used is pretty decent.

Shop around.. everybody else wanted 4+.. Including my own bank, Bank of America.

I got a 2.9% rate thru AAA.....fastest loan I ever got. It was a 2007 vert, triple black, m6 , z51, nav, 3lt for 28K. My AAA here in RI shopped around to find the best rate. I had to spend an additional 5 dollars to open up an account at a credit union.
