CAR FINANCE GUIDE

When does refinancing a car loan help?

See how a lower APR or a different remaining term can change a car loan payment and what to check before refinancing.

What refinancing changes

A refinance replaces the existing auto loan with a new one. The APR, remaining balance, term and fees determine whether the payment or total borrowing cost improves.

Payment savings are not interest savings

A longer new term can lower the monthly payment even if total interest does not improve as much as expected.
