How to Refinance my Current Auto Loan

Refinancing an Auto Loan in Florida

We all strive for that $200 car payment and while some of us have managed to get one, others are finding a way. You’ve heard the term refinancing and know some friends who have done it, but still aren’t sure what it is? Refinancing an auto loan is the process where an existing loan is paid off and replaced with a new one. The new loan normally has different terms and rates that are better suited for the consumer.

While researching refinancing an auto loan, you may find yourself asking many questions, which okay. Refinancing of loans isn’t something that is taught in an educational setting and is learned more through doing. We’ve compiled a list of the top three questions we’ve been asked before members have refinanced.

Can you refinance a car?

Of course. Not only can you refinance a car, you can also refinance a mortgage, motorcycle loan, RV and boat loan. However, before refinancing do your research on what the market is like, as rates can change daily. Once you see a rate you are happy with don’t wait, lock it in and begin the refinancing process. 

When should I refinance my auto loan?

It’s best to refinance an auto loan when you’ve made several consecutive on-time payments and have a better credit score than when you purchased the car. If you have made on-time payments, but have a lower score than when you purchased it’s recommended to wait until the score goes up and vice versa.

How do I lower my car payment?

This is one of the biggest reasons people choose to refinance their car. There are many more benefits to refinancing an auto loan such as receiving a lower interest rate, paying less overall and changing the duration of the loan term. You can also lower your monthly car payments by putting more money down when you refinance.
