Why can auto financing offers stay low when interest rates rise?

Auto loan rates aren't set by the Federal Reserve. Lenders set them based on their own costs, the vehicle, the loan term and your credit. Automakers can also offer promotional APRs on select new models. That's why some offers stay low even when the Fed raises rates

How the Fed affects auto loans

On September 16, 2026, the Fed raised its benchmark rate a quarter point to 3.75% to 4.00%. It was the first increase in about three years. Many lenders raise auto loan rates after a move like that, but not all of them, and not always right away.

Where rates are now

In Q2 2026 the average APR was 6.35% on new cars and 11.19% on used cars, according to Experian. Your credit score makes the biggest difference:

Financing a used car, truck or SUV of any make

We help you finance every used vehicle on our lot, not just Subarus. Lenders price used car loans by the vehicle's age and mileage. A newer, lower-mileage vehicle usually qualifies for a better rate.


Shop Used Vehicles

McCurley Used. Pre-owned vehicles of every make, inspected and ready to drive.

McCurley Certified. Newer, lower-mileage vehicles that meet our certification standards. You don't pick the tier. The vehicle's age, mileage and condition decide it.

Subaru Certified Pre-Owned. Certified by Subaru and backed by Subaru's coverage. Subaru Motors Finance offers special rates on select certified models.

Special APR offers on new Subaru models

Payment or total cost? A longer term lowers your payment but usually adds interest. Look at the total, not just the monthly number.

Low APR or cash rebate? Some offers make you choose. A rebate lowers the price. A low APR lowers the interest. Compare the total cost of each over the life of the loan.

Trade-in. Your trade-in value, minus anything you still owe on it, changes how much you need to finance.
