What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCar buyers could save an average of three thousand sixty-four dollars just by shopping around for an auto loan, LendingTree says, and that's up thirty point four percent from last year.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the gap between the lowest offer and the highest one, over the life of the loan. It's an estimate, not money in your hand.
