After debuting its personal loan offer engine at Finovate in April 2017, SuperMoney unveiled today an automotive focused loan offer engine where its lending partners compete in real-time with customized auto loan offers.

The new auto loan offer engine allows borrowers to submit a single, easy, online application and receive multiple auto loan offers back. The tool makes apples to apples comparisons easy when shopping for the best auto financing rates, fees, and terms.
“The traditional auto financing experience is antiquated – like purchasing an airline ticket 20 years ago,” says SuperMoney CEO Miron Lulic. “These days buying an airline ticket is fast and easy. We’ve brought that same great comparison shopping experience to the auto loan industry.”

Whether shopping for an auto purchase financing or existing loan refinancing, SuperMoney’s auto loan offer engine is a no-brainer. Comparing options on SuperMoney won’t hurt the applicant’s credit score because SuperMoney’s lending partners perform a soft credit pull as part of the prequalification process.

Only 31.6% of car buyers negotiate the interest rate on their loan

Haggling is mostly a lost art in the United States. However, it’s alive and kicking in the auto industry. Just not when it comes to financing costs.
A recent survey by the Federal Reserve reported that 76.1% of car buyers negotiated the purchase price with the seller, but only 31.6% negotiated the interest rate on their loan. It gets worse. 27.1% of car buyers considered the monthly payment on their auto loan as the most important factor, but only 6.1% considered the interest rate on the loan as the most important factor (source).
However, paying a high interest rate can cost you many times more than what you’re likely to shave off the purchase price of your vehicle, regardless of your negotiating skills.
To illustrate, a $35k auto loan with a 3% APR, will cost you $37,734 over the life of a 60-month loan. The same loan with a 7% APR, will cost you $41,583, that’s a $3,849 difference.

Dealers know most borrowers focus on the wrong things

Car buyers have never had access to so much information. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is just a google search away. Online tools like Kelly Blue Book, make it just as easy to negotiate the price of used cars. The result? Smaller profit margins for dealerships.
Comparing financing costs is not as easy.
There are two main reasons car buyers overpay in financing costs.
  1. A lack of transparency on available rates and

  2. Not understanding the actual cost of auto financing.

SuperMoney solves both of these problems through its transparent auto loan offer engine.
Dealerships can hide interest hikes behind longer terms precisely because they know most borrowers focus on the monthly payment amount, not the overall cost.
To illustrate, a $35k auto loan with a 5% APR and a 36-month term will have a total cost of $37,763. The same loan with a 72-month term costs $40,584.
Increasing the term of your loan will lower your monthly payments, but it will cost you.
