Reducing your monthly car payments by refinancing? Keep in mind that if you choose to make your remaining loan term longer, the overall cost of your loan may be higher than without refinancing. If you decide to refinance with a LendingTree partner, you may be able to lower your monthly loan payment. However, if you choose a loan term that is longer than the term left on your existing auto loan, you will pay interest over a longer period of time, and the overall cost of your loan may be higher. Consult your financial advisor to see if refinancing your auto loan is right for you.
