Applied for financing and my score was 642. I know not the best but the finance guy said the interest rate would be 24%. I told him there is no way in hell I will pay that rate. I told him to lower it way down. He said he can't as it is set by Eaglemark and they do not mark it up. So I walked out that is way to high of a rate.
Just a note: Try any credit union. You have to join (3.00) and then they will finance any vehicle. I had fianced my sons care with one and when I paid it off, they asked me if they could look at all my other vehicles. I refied my wifes car, my truck, another sons car and my Harley non of which was more than 4%. I saved tons of money, shortened the length of the loan and paid a smaller note on each. Credit unions are the bomb now, they seem to have money to lend!
