Compare local Memphis, TN auto loan rates against the statewide average
Daily auto loan rate averages tracked across our database of 8,500+ banks and credit unions — updated every evening.
Tennessee new auto rates fell 0.335 points over the past 7 days to 6.360% APR.
Tennessee used auto rates fell 0.047 points over the past 7 days to 6.911% APR.
Estimated monthly payments on a standard 60-month auto loan at today’s average Tennessee APRs. Even a small APR difference adds up over the life of a car loan — use the calculator below to model your exact loan.
| Loan Amount | New Auto @ 6.36% APR TN average | Used Auto @ 6.91% APR TN average | Monthly Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15,000 | $292.51/mo | $296.39/mo | $3.88/mo |
| $25,000 | $487.52/mo | $493.98/mo | $6.46/mo |

Principal and interest only, 60-month term, calculated from current average APRs. Taxes, title, registration, and optional add-ons are not included. Your APR depends on credit score, loan term, vehicle age, and lender underwriting.
Our Memphis, Tennessee auto loan tables currently track 47 banks and credit unions offering new and used vehicle financing to borrowers in this market. Every APR is sourced directly from the lender’s own website and re-verified regularly, so the rates you compare here reflect what lenders are actually advertising today — not stale or estimated numbers.
The lowest verified auto loan APR in our Memphis, Tennessee database right now is 3.34% APR from American Airlines Federal Credit Union. Advertised APRs typically assume excellent credit, so use the full rate table above to compare offers across your actual credit tier.
A preapproval from a bank or credit union serving Memphis, Tennessee locks in a real rate before you set foot on a dealer lot. It turns you into a cash buyer, gives you a benchmark to beat, and protects you from dealer financing markups — dealers can legally add points to the rate a lender actually approved you for.
Credit unions consistently offer some of the lowest auto loan APRs in Tennessee. Membership is usually easier to get than people expect — many local credit unions accept anyone who lives, works, or worships in the area, and some let you join with a small donation to a partner charity.
Shorter terms almost always carry lower APRs, and you pay interest for fewer months. A 72- or 84-month loan lowers the monthly payment but dramatically raises total interest cost and increases the time you spend “underwater” — owing more than the car is worth. Aim for 60 months or less if the payment fits your budget.
Used car loans typically run 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points above new car rates. If you’re shopping late-model used vehicles, ask about certified pre-owned programs — CPO vehicles sometimes qualify for new-car financing rates, which can offset part of the price difference between the two.
