Though it\u2019s convenient to get a car loan from a dealership, you may get better terms and customer service from a bank or credit union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> From small sedans to full-size SUVs, Lexus is known for making reliable cars with attractive interiors. When you\u2019re looking for a car loan, you\u2019ll want the same reliability from your loan provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lexus-car-loan\">How to get a Lexus car loan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re interested in a CT 200 or an ES 350 F-Sport, getting a car loan for a Lexus is fairly straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, check your credit. After that, compare the rates and terms from no fewer than three different lenders. Finally, try and get preapproved for a loan, if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check your credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check your credit score before you begin to look for an auto loan. Not only will it help determine your loan terms, but it\u2019ll also influence your interest rate. Generally, a credit score over 660 is considered good enough for a car loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a credit score lower than 660, you may still be able to get a Lexus car loan if you\u2019re purchasing your vehicle through a dealership. Lexus Financial Services will accept an applicant if they can prove they\u2019re able to make payments with personal references, proof of income, or a co-applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the table below for the average APR and monthly payments for various Lexus cars based on your credit score:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Credit score<\/th><th>Average Annual interest rate<\/th><th>Average monthly payment<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Any<\/td><td>8.36<\/td><td>$361<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fair<\/td><td>8.36<\/td><td>$361<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Good<\/td><td>8.36<\/td><td>$361<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Very good<\/td><td>8.36<\/td><td>$361<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Excellent<\/td><td>8.36<\/td><td>$361<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare lenders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you understand what kind of car loan you could qualify for, you need to choose a lender. Car loans are available through a bank, credit union, or dealership, if you are purchasing your vehicle from one that participates in Lexus Financial Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to compare offers from no fewer than three lenders before you decide which one to take out. Be on the lookout for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Short loan terms:<\/strong> 60 months or less<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low APR:<\/strong> 4.93 percent or lower<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manageable monthly payments:<\/strong> 10 to 15% of your monthly income is the norm\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re comparing terms and rates, don\u2019t forget about customer service! Excellent approval odds and low monthly payments are nice, but they don\u2019t mean much if the loan provider has poor reviews from other customers or if they are hard to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get preapproved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re able to get preapproved for your car loan, you\u2019ll be able to negotiate for better terms when you go to sign the loan agreement. You can apply for preapproval online with Lexus Financial Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For preapproval, you\u2019ll need to complete a loan application and provide the following information to the lender:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Social Security number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of employment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driver\u2019s license or photo ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of income (paystub, employment contract, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Key Takeaway<\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">Check your credit rating before getting a Lexus car loan. Next, compare loan terms from various lenders and attempt to get preapproval to negotiate for better terms.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"average-car-loan-term-lexus\">Average loan term for a Lexus car loan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your choice of the loan term is a crucial step in getting the right auto financing. Currently, the car loan term most often used in the United States is 72 months (six years). Just because it\u2019s the most common, however, doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s the best choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s financially viable for you, aim for a repayment term of 60 months or less. In exchange for higher monthly payments, you\u2019ll pay off your loan sooner and with less interest\u2014this makes the loan more affordable in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, though, that not every lender will offer shorter loan terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve chosen to get your loan through a dealership, Lexus Financial Services has loan terms from 24 to 72 months. As an added benefit for getting a car loan through Lexus, you won\u2019t have prepayment penalties. That means no extra fees for paying off the loan early!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a sense of what your monthly payment and interest rate could be depending on your loan terms with any credit score, see the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Loan Terms<\/th><th
