    How low can auto interest rates go?

    Are the low financing rates usually on new cars only? I'm in the market for an used car so it would be good to have a couple numbers in mind.

    Mortgage rates at all time low

    I just refi'd 6months ago, I thought the general rule was that if it's >0.5% it's worth it? We're doing the no pt./no cost refi, so it's no really costing us anything refi (slightly higher interest rate) unless I'm missing something.
