Just want to add to this in that I know purchasing new from some companies at 0% there is a pretty monumental financing charge associated with their financing. Do dealerships do that with used vehicles too when they offer those prime rates of 1%?
If they do I would strongly recommend you check and see what your bank can offer.
With interest rates so low right now, your bank should be able to do under 10% fixed for you on a car or under 7% on a floating rate, even for a private sale. That interest won't be misleading like some (not all) of dealership financing can be.
