    Dealer wants 40 percent down on a 65k truck cause business only 2 years old. Owner probably has about 20 percent ready to go.
    I've seen this site called CAG financing, they say any credit and can do 20 percent down has anyone dealt with a place like this or something similar to attain a loan outside of dealer?
    I'm curious as to what there interests rates our and terms thxs

    40% seems a little steep…wonder what the interest is?
    I financed my truck through my bank. Brand new business but took my personal credit score into consideration. 20% down at 4.5% interest…

    This sounds like a buy here pay here, the 40% down covers their cost so no risk and the rest is profit. If your business is generating a profit, 2 years in business and your personal credit isn't crap, you should be able to do a lot better.

    They have a huge interest. 20+ if you fimance 5 years thats almost 75%over the cost. Be careful. Rates are bad now
