PENFED is Awesome

[mustangguy289]

Got a used car loan at 2.49% last night! Had to do it over the phone because of not knowing pin# to finish online registration. Worked out to my advantage because they gave me online rate and mailed the check this morning. Paid $15 to have it overnighted and get to pick up truck on Friday afternoon.

Total phone call was about 45 minutes.... would have been shorter but I probably asked more questions about the process then needed. Once I gave details it took less than 5 min to get an answer.

If you are paying more than 2.49%,owe less then NADA retail, and have less than 100k miles.... use them to refinance.

my old truck was financed through them...Id do it again, but its not worth going from Ford's 2.75% to 2.49%

So is this like an online CU or something?

I've got a Jetta I need to get out from under and this might help depending on the strings attached.

I claimed my brother in law and it worked. They don't even ask. You simply put in a name online when you register. Everyone knows someone in the military.
There is now a $15 charity also. You are required to deposit $5 dollars to open an account though.

Is there an age limit?

I know when you typically finance older vehicles the interest rate is higher. Atleast that was my experience in the 2 10+ cars I have owned.

The guy on the phone at penfed said what matters to them is mileage (100k or less gets up to 60 months, 100-125 gets up to 24 months, over 125 does not get a loan) and that the loan value is less than the NADA Retail value, and you have good-excellent credit.

The do not have any other interest rate on used cars that match the above except for 2.49 (3.49 over the phone). You either get it or you don't.

I believe they have a 72month option for cars over $70,000 that has a higher interest.

Sweet. I will have to call. Thanks.

Do you have to have another account such as checking/savings in order to apply?

Yes, they require a $5 deposit to open an account. If you call instead of online the rate is 3.49. I was only given the 2.49 online rate because I never received my pin # to finish online registration. The loan officer gave the lady the ok to give me the online rate. You can always call and ask though.

How many months did you do for that rate?

We owe half the NADA value on the car and both have excellent credit.
