You may not get these rates
Just be aware that lenders only need to give 51% of successful applicants the representative APR quoted in the tables above. So if you have a less than perfect credit record, you may be offered a higher rate. To ensure you always have the best chance of getting the lowest rates, read How to build an excellent credit history.
