Update: switching from my credit union to a broker cut my car loan rate from 7.2% to 5.4% in one afternoon in Plano
I had been with my credit union for 9 years and they quoted me 7.2% on a used truck last Monday. A buddy told me to call a broker in Plano, and by 3pm the same day I had a 5.4% offer with a lower monthly payment. Has anyone else had a broker beat their bank this fast, or did I just get lucky with timing?
