My wife and I are currently sharing one vehicle and considering purchasing a 2nd car, most likely Tesla Model Y. Tesla lowered rates from 2.99% to 2.49% 72 months. Is that considered a good rate? Has anyone else went with another auto loan? Also thinking about buying a 2nd home. Would financing a car before buying a house have any major impacts? I have a credit score at 794.

72 months?? Holyyy
Can you do shorter terms?

Need to look. Actually might just pay it all in full to avoid the interest.

Pretty good rate. I just got 60 months 2.24%.

Would you get a 2.49% mortgage? Then why not a 2.49% car loan?

I’d be all over it

financing your car for 6 years??? 😂

Damn a 2nd home. Get that money. Also, what's wrong with 72 months if they just pay it off much faster? Obviously go for the shorter term if there's interest rate benefit, but sometimes it's nice to have flexibility in the month payment

It's not a bad rate, but I would try shopping for a better deal at a credit union. However, there's no reason to finance a car for 6 years. If you can't at least do a 48/60 month, you probably shouldn't get the car.

Thanks, I may decide I will just pay it all cash. At 60-72 months I’m seeing about $4.5-5k in interest at the end. We should have 20% saved for a down payment in 6 months.

Hey OP, what made you decide on model Y vs model 3? Based on some recent YouTube videos it looks like model Y has fit and finish issues because it’s still in early production. Did you look into that?

We have been waiting to purchase a small SUV and the model Y was the right one due to more cargo space compared to Model 3. Been hearing the QC issues so we’ll have to do a closer inspection upon arrival.

Op - if you didn’t get your model y yet then there’s a price reduction by 3k. Check it out!

Car is awesome. I’m loving my Tesla. It is my first one. I live in CA so I receive fast delivery. In 3 days. Versus those in other states. There wasn’t much issues. A few alignment/gaps but you just bring it into service as an appointment and they will fix it. I will DM you.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.
