  • Funds typically within 24–72 hours — once you accept an offer, the lender pays off your existing loan directly.

Signs It May Be Time To Refinance Your Car

There's not necessarily a right or wrong time to refinance, however, paying attention to these signs could help you secure the best loan for your needs.

Have interest rates gone down since you originally bought your car? Whether you bought your car new or used, it could be worth refinancing if interest rates have dropped. For instance, a $15,000 loan at 5% interest (60 month term) will cost you about $1,984 over the course of the loan, with monthly payments of $283. At 2.5%, though, your monthly payments drop to $266 and the loan ends up costing you only $973 over the life of the loan. That's over $1,000 in savings!

Car buyers with lower credit scores tend to get stuck with higher interest rates. It's unfortunate, especially for first-time borrowers or young adults, but something that's well within your power to change. If you've been making your car payments on time since you first purchased your car, whether for a few months to a full year, your credit score may very well have gone up. If it has, there's a chance that you could refinance at a lower rate.

Even a small decrease in your interest rate could result in big savings over the course of your loan term. Get your free credit scores from all three credit bureaus when you select FreeScore360.com in our list of personal finance tools and resources.

Has your income increased or decreased significantly? If you've had a few financial setbacks since purchasing your vehicle, you may be able to lower the amount of your monthly payment by refinancing and extending the loan term. On the flip side, if your income has gone up you may want to refinance with a shorter loan term to pay off your debt faster.

Many people refinance to save money, but not everyone. Some people have personal reasons for refinancing, like removing or adding co-signers. The refinance process essentially gives you a new loan and a new contract, making it easy to add or remove people from the loan.

How Auto Loan Refinancing Works

Complete the application — The secure online form takes about 2 minutes. You'll need your current loan information, vehicle details, and proof of income.

Receive pre-qualified offers — myAutoloan submits your application to its lender network. You typically receive up to 4 offers within minutes.

Compare and select — Review each offer's APR, monthly payment, and total cost. Select the one that fits your goals, or decline all with no obligation.

Worried About Qualifying For An Auto Refinance?

There are a few general requirements you must meet in order for your application to be successfully processed. You may still submit a loan application even if you do not meet all of the criteria below, though we may not be able to identify a lender or as many as 4 lenders that match your profile.

  • Age: You and/or your co-qualifier must be at least 18 years old
  • Income: You must have a minimum income of $2,000 per month or $24,000 per year
  • Bankruptcy: You must not have an open bankruptcy
  • Location: You must reside in a state where myAutoloan currently does business (we do business in 48 states, but not in Alaska or Hawaii)
