8 Research Loans Compare the dealer’s financing with the loan you can get through your financial institution or other lenders. If you go to your financial institution before you start your car search, you will have a better idea of how much you can borrow and, thus, what cars you can afford. Furthermore, you may be able to get a better interest rate with your financial institution than a dealer. Even though dealers often offer incentives, they do not always have the best financing.
