Benefit in my eyes with Lightstream is that the loans they offer with top tier credit profiles are unsecured, so you hold title to the car from Day 1. Only thing to note with that is that you can't get gap coverage on your loan, so you will need to make sure your auto insurance policy offers new car replacement to make sure you are covered if the car is totaled in the first year.
Thank you for the advice on the Lightstream "rate beat" program. Just refinanced my 2.84% from the dealership bank to Lighstream at 2.14% (beat my approval from Alliant). In addition to saving a few hundred bucks, I love that I get to keep title to the car free and clear.

Two thumbs up for Lighstream!

USAA jumped .25% 3-5 days before I picked up my car (2.25 to 2.49)... Not major, but definitely something to keep an eye on.

You can still apply for the loan, can't you? We ordered our Q7 in January and applied for financing with Pen Fed a week later. Our loan was approved, rate locked in but they wouldn't issue the check until the VIN was available.

I think a lot of car loans apply the rate in effect the day the funds are distributed.

I just got a 1.49% rate on a 36 mos loan from PenFed (https://www.penfed.org/new-auto-loan/?WT.ac=1853)
