How long will it take yesterday's Federal Reserve interest rate cut to affect auto loan rate (if at all)?

Just paid off my A4 and been wanting to trade it in for a 350Z. Been looking at eloan.com for a week and their new auto loan rate dropped from 3.99% to 3.79% early last week before the announced cut. Curious to see if it'll go lower now after yesterdays news...

i am not sure it will really affect auto loans, it was only a quarter point cut? right?

rates are already in the mud, home loans should move down just a tad, eventually

I have heard that the rates are getting to the point where further cuts by the Fed may not trickle down
rapidly to consumer level loans, because there is a baseline cost of companies to make the loan. So I
wouldn't hold my breath, basically.

That would be the 0% interest and 3000 cash back. :)
