LendingTree.com Shares How Refinancing Your Auto Loan Can Save You Money
CHARLOTTE, N.C., February 6, 2007 – People usually do not think twice about refinancing a home loan to save money. But fewer people think to refinance their auto loan if they’re unhappy with it.
An auto refinance loan – just like a mortgage refinance – can end up saving you money by possibly providing you a better interest rate and lower monthly payments. Most people end up financing their auto loan through the dealership. While convenient for buyers who don’t want to have to delay their purchase, keep in mind that car dealers don’t always offer the best financing deals.
When an auto loan is refinanced, it simply means that a new lender pays off the old loan. The title is then transferred to the new lender and your payments are made to that new lender. Sounds simple, right?
LendingTree.com offers up the following advice on how to refinance an auto loan:
To refinance an auto loan:
1. Research lenders who can provide you with the best auto refinance loan. A web site like www.LendingTree.com can give you access to offers from several lenders and save you the time and legwork of having to contact various lenders yourself.
2. Provide the lender who gives you the best interest rate with all of the financial information they’ll need to qualify you for the refinance loan.
3. Pay any fees that may be associated with the refinance loan. These may include nominal lien holder or pre-payment fees.
4. Once you’re approved, your new lender will pay off your old loan and assume the car’s title.
