Default Chevy interest rate???

As a former c5 owner, finally succumbed to the pull and went to the Chevy website to build/price a C7 vert in arctic white, and when they quote payments they use an interest rate of 14.9 percent. Excuse me??? That's more than my Visa card charges me! Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect the 1.9% I got on the wife's Caddy SUV. But 14.9%? Seriously? I would seriously entertain a rate of 5-7%, but 14.9? That's just wrong on so many levels!

The rate wouldn't have changed really even with less down...not sure what it is now, but should be low to mid single digits with good credit.

I went to pay cash but on Wed of last week I was given 75 months at 1.9% with no money down. They said GM had no money on the car it's too hot so they pushed it though a local credit union since the finance guy wanted a incentive kicker if I financed it.

I've been quoted 2.39% and I've got a credit score of 838 (yes, that's correct 838).

I need to shop around a bit more!

Go to your bank or any bank for that matter, anyone that gets a rate over 3% either has bad credit or they are getting ripped off.

Gap insurance free with $35K down, now that is an oxymoron.

I know that new cars depreciate quickly, but with $35K down, I don't think that you'll be needing GAP insurance.

I got 2.3% APR from PNC Bank which is the underwriter Kerbeck used. Most good dealers will shop for the best rates. If you belong to a credit union, it might be worth checking with them as well.
