in Ny, 24 is the state maximum. with a 580 score, they would be using sub-prime lenders, rates can be high, but be careful some dont help/improve credit as you pay on time, only hurts if you dont pay.
Kbb.com or edmunds.com offer sites/links for tutorials on credit.
Ask for the bank name, and as someone else mentioned check with your own bank and DO negotiate the APR with salesperson after you negotiate price. GOOD LUCK.

Sorry, but that’s how it is
Shaq iz Phat December 25, 2009 at 5:20 pm: No one will finance you with just $1k down. You’ll need 30-50% down and the rate will be over 20%.
cargrl December 25, 2009 at 5:20 pm: Ok your score does effect your rate but there are other things that effect it like how many things are on your report. You honestly could be looking anywhere between 10-20% .
