When it comes to financing a vehicle purchase, the interest rate on your loan can make or break your budget. Finding a low rate isn’t always easy, but there’s good news for Texas residents who have been struggling to locate a competitive offer. This Fall, EECU is offering exceptionally low auto loan rates–as low as 2.50% APR.*
Rates as Low as 2.50% APR
If you’re planning to buy a vehicle, know that you presently have the opportunity to obtain a loan at a rate that isn’t just competitive for the region, but one of the lowest auto loan rates currently available anywhere in the nation. Right now, average car loan rates are hovering in the 4-5% APR range, but EECU can offer members financing for as little as 2.50% APR.
EECU’s auto loans can be obtained for new and used cars, trucks, SUVs and recreational vehicles. If you’re currently paying for an expensive loan with another lender, all of these vehicles can be refinanced as well.
Who Is Eligible?
Anyone who lives or works in Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Palo Pinto or Hood counties is eligible to apply for this offer.
