Lower your payment with auto loan refinancing

Lower your payment with auto loan refinancing

When interest rates are low like they are right now, it’s the perfect time to refinance to lower your monthly car loan payment. Auto loan refinancing is simply applying for a new auto loan to pay off your current loan. Many car owners looking to lower their monthly payment take advantage of auto loan refinancing as a great way to accomplish that goal.

The number one reason for refinancing an auto loan is to lower the monthly payment. This can be accomplished by securing a lower interest rate. Others want to shorten the term to pay off the loan faster and save on total interest paid.

When to refinance an auto loan 

If you find a lower auto loan rate than your current rate, if rates have dropped significantly, or if your credit score has improved substantially, it may be a good time to refinance. You may be struggling with a high rate because you didn’t compare lenders when purchasing your vehicle or your credit score was low. Whatever the reason, it’s time to start shopping around for a better rate. Check the auto loan rates at Choice One Community Credit Union to see if we can beat your current rate.

They are not-for-profits focused on helping their members. As a result, credit unions typically have lower loan interest rates than most banks.

Refinancing your auto loan can be quick and easy 

When comparing auto loans, look at the total cost of the loan, including fees, and all of the interest that you have to pay. There are several factors that can determine the amount you might save. This includes the interest rate, the term of the loan, the value of the vehicle, your credit score, and the total you want to borrow. Compare the quotes from get from lenders with your current loan. Once you’ve found a great deal, it’s time to jump on it.

Auto loan refinancing might be easier than you think. Once you’ve shopped around and found the best deal, you just need to gather all the documents your lender will need. This includes your personal identification, income, and information, as well as your current auto loan information and vehicle details. You’ll also need proof of auto insurance. Once you organize your paperwork, you’re ready to apply.

If you can afford it, consider shortening the term, since you’ll already be saving on the interest rate. This will save you even more, because you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan. If you’re just focused on having extra money in your pockeet, you can keep your term the same and just enjoy the monthly savings that come with a lower interest rate. Complete your application and enjoy your savings.
