New or used car???

I am thinking of purchasing a car, maybe new, maybe pre-owned. My credit scores are this, TU 525, EX 627, EQ 647. I am also self-employed. Can someone guesstimate interest rates on new cars for this score range? Also guestimate on interest rates on pre-owned cars. I haven't purched a car in over 5 years.......and totally lost on where to start? I can only assume the dealership will pull all three bureaus?

I seldom find myself in a position where I can predict APR, simply due to the many variables involved.

okay. I understand. But what is the highest APR you've seen for low scores. I am doing a loan calculator online and it asks the price of the car, length of loan and APR. I am trying to stay on a budget and want to know what price range based on APR.......

~30% when warrantied by the risk of the credit extension.
