What this number is
It is the average rate commercial banks charged on 60-month loans for new cars, as published by the Federal Reserve. It is an average across banks and borrowers, not an offer, and it does not include fees. Your rate depends on the lender, your credit and the term. It covers new cars only; used-car loans are not in this figure.
