What credit union did you use? I tried looking up the list that GM allows, but I had to create an account to view the list and I didn't want to do that.

I don't think 10% down is too low. I was thinking 20% or more is quite normal. If you don't put down a certain percentage, they will try to hit you up with "gap insurance" which insures them, not you (but you would get to pay for it).

I got 1.49 financing from Navy Federal Credit Union. Not sure if they required a down or not, as I had all along planed on putting 30K down. I as aiming for a payment number to keep it under. Plus wanted no gap or such.

Have your dealer check with several lending institutions in addition to the ones you are looking at. I got 1.65% back in April from Wells Fargo. BB&T had the same rate. Ally (formerly GMAC) and my bank First Citizens were higher. Shop around!!!
