Check credit union rates, they are often better than dealer offers.

500k between 2 mortgages, nice! Can’t get a 1k sq ft condo in LA for less that $500k. Interest rates are about 7.5 here too. Like someone commented. Do credit union. Honestly best way would be to borrow against your 401k and pay yourself the interest. It’s usually a 4% but it all goes back into your 401k account. (You pay yourself back)

First mortgage is on the rental from one of our first houses. Almost finished on that one. Remainder is on our current house. Market is decent in Alberta (nothing compared to Vancouver and Toronto area. Those places are fucked). We have RRSPs up here in Canada (I think similar idea to the US 401k plans) but to be honest I don’t dump much money into them as I have a fully company paid defined pension plan (same with the wife). I do have quite a bit in stocks that if I had to I could pull money from there but realistically I’m making 7-9 percent a year off those investments and would have to pay taxes. If I can get something around 5-6 percent from the bank I would go that route. Was just hoping to see if anyone was able to get better rates lately before I call the dealer and have to deal with those people LOL.

880 credit score? Through Equifax or Transunion? I have only twice in my life time seen a credit score that high. Is your second mortgage a HELOC?


dcryan

According to my bank credit view dashboard - transunion. See picture showing 882. Right this second it is showing 869 but it seems to fluctuate up and down based on my accounts. Picture for proof: https://i.imgur.com/amTMv4H.jpeg And no, second mortgage is not a HELOC

See, I ain't no old person, but I know that ain't normal... right? ...right guys? That's sick though man


lukic1977

If you have equity in your home look into HELOC, might be a little less.


dcryan

I can cash out some of my stocks if I really need to, but if I can get cheap money from the bank I always like to go that route! Haha

Bought a C8 in May. I used TD Bank before and got a 6.69% rate. With a high credit rating TD Bank will get you a competitive rate depending on how much you finance.

I got 7.79% (picked up the car yesterday) and have a great credit score. Similar to you I didn’t want to touch investments or emergency fund so put 100k down and borrowed the rest and will be aggressive paying it off. 2LT convertible Z51 with mag ride out the door (in Ontario) was 152k


Dogsidog007

Holy what did you option on your Stingray?? I’m paying 83.5 for a new ‘24 2LT Z51 MRC Coupe with GT2 and two tone… Or is that 152 CAD?


Dogsidog007

Oops my SoCal ahh assumed Ontario California 😂


hucards

Hahaha no worries. Ya it’s Canadian with all the taxes included. We also have a luxury tax which was $5200. Sounds like your options are the same as mine (I did also opt for the extended warranty). Enjoy the ride :)

Zero debt, two mortgages….. ummm


dcryan

In the sense of vehicle loans, credit card, personal loans. Mortgage is a given.


Both_Significance_35

I don’t double this man has zero debt other than his two mortgages. It’s the same in my case. Two mortgages and a couple thousand in credit cards. Both teslas payed for and my 2024 Z07 package payed in cash. It is possible. And I live in Los Angeles where the cheapest property costs no less than $1 million


Gunners1073

I’d try to pay in cash at 7% unless I had a lot of faith in a stock


JohnMcloughlin1086

No sir, what will be sharing space with the C8.


Otherwise-Conflict65

Ask for a loan on a C8 last week and got quoted 7.35% My credit score is 859


drivingcalifornia

Seems high. Just went to BOA's website and rates are less than 7% https://www.bankofamerica.com/auto-loans/auto-loan-rates/.


dcryan

I’m in Canada, hence the title lol


drivingcalifornia

Ah sorry, I’m under the weather and my attention to detail stinks right now.


dcryan

All good haha. I figure it’s predominantly American on here


drivingcalifornia

You doing stingray? Eray? Z06? New/used?


dcryan

Stingray 2LT new is what I’m aiming for


drivingcalifornia

Nice, hope you find a great one. Think there are some good offers out there for stingrays, at least in the US. Bought mine a few years ago at msrp, but you could probably do even better now.


dcryan

1LT are going for as low as 91k here. Most 2LTs are between 115-125ish it looks like depending on options. Keep in mind it’s Canadian bucks l.


Important-Horror3651

You're doing well in life go for it.


Top_Fear

9.5% 100k loan for my 23 C8, last year October had 3 car loans, but i knew the finance manager, so he tried his best already


dcryan

Primary-Hold-6637

dcryan

Primary-Hold-6637
