Financing the purchase.

We've looked around the area for good financing. As we're in Washington State, most Credit Unions will offer you membership and good loan rates based only on your residence.

Land Rover's financing is 5.9%, which isn't horrible but could probably be beat.

Our existing Credit Union, offered 5.5% which was better, and extremely convenient.

I found a credit union down south that offered 4.75%, but only on a 24-month loan. We're looking for 48 months.

A small, one-branch credit union with less than a half-dozen employees offered 5.0% financing on up to a 60-month loan. Although they are very low-tech, their rates were the best we could find. We'll finance through them, unless something falls through.

(We offered to let the LR dealer match the interest rate, they were unable to.)
