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. For additional help, call us at (888) 261-8328.
