Tips & Warnings
The more quotes sent, the better the price selection you have. Visit the physical location of at least one dealer to determine whether the salesman's offer is consistent with the quoted price online. It should be the same, but it doesn't hurt to ask and the possibility exists that you could get a lower quote face-to-face.

Don't stop with the loan offer you find from your own sources. Take the check with you but challenge them to find you a lower rate. This is especially effective if you have excellent credit, but if you have good credit, it can still work in your favor. This has gotten me a lower rate 2 out of the last 3 cars I bought, the other one they couldn't beat my rate, which I was already happy with.
