Does anyone know what the average interest rates are right now on car loans? I keep seeing that the fed cut interest rates but does anyone know what they are?

My husband and I need to lower our monthly payments. We have no debt except a line of credit for $60,000 with the payment of $410 and two car loans both adding up to about $25,000 and the combined payment of $1050/mo. So, we are spending about $1400/month for these 3 things. If we got a loan for $110,000 and payed all these off, our payment at 6.6% would be around $700/month. Of course I would always pay more than that per month which would go to principle. Why isn’t this a good thing to do? I realize that getting a new car would add to our payments once again. So, that would not be smart. Other than that, is this a smart thing to do? It seems like it is, but then why don’t more people do this?

I called Toyota and checked for recall with my Vin# and nothing was recalled. They told me to go to a dealer and have them check it out. Any advice on what I can do in adition to this?

Anyone know how to fix a 1996 Honda Accord spedometer that only works once in a while?

Our 1996 Honda Accord spedometer works only sometimes, usually at freeway speeds only. Someone replaced one part for me (can’t remember which part, but it was supposed to be the major one that all Honda’s have trouble with) but that didn’t make a difference. I’ve heard there are two major parts, and now I probably need the other one? I also hear this “other” part is expensive. Anyone here have a similar problem, or a mechanic that can explain it? Thanks everyone!
