2.5% For 7-Year Term--BUT Beware The Super-High Early Termination Penalty
Chase Manhattan Bank (0 stars) - Details2.5% for 84-month term (1.1% for 36 month) is pretty good, even though a linked checking account is required.
But try to find the "Early Withdrawal Penalty" terms on the web page and you may search indefinitely. :-)
Go to a branch, as I did this AM, and they will tell you the penalty for early withdrawal is $25 + 3%!! This equates to > 1 year's worth of interest on the 84-month...and a whopping 2+ year's worth on the 36-month.
