What are the interest rates like?

About 2.2% to 3.7% p.a., depend on bank. More often than not people will take the 7 years, but nowadays car is getting more and more pricier and people also trying to project their standard of living more, so 9 years is getting more and more common. 5 years is always rare.

I’ll have to wait for the commercial to reappear, but I think they were over 6% APR here.
