      I’m currently at 9.45% for 84 months. Made a mistake by allowing the dealership to find financing for me. Tomorrow will make a month from that APR and I got approved with Bank of America at a better finance rate. 6.59% at 48 months to be exact. But I really want a 3%! They say it’s because my credit history is long that long.

    I think they get around it by having an early payoff within 6 month of car loans too. They can retroactively increase interest if paid off early with some lenders.

    Hello, I bought a toyota yaris 2017. It's a used car & I've had it since June or August of 2019. My interest rate is 18%, I'm guessing because my credit was low at the time or I had no existing payments. My question is that I pay back the loan to Santander USA. Apparently, they do not offer refinancing on existing Santander loans. Do you know if there is another option. I pay $206 a month & haven't been late on any.

    How would I go about finding out if waiting to refinance is in my contract? Can I just call and ask? Didn’t get anything saying that was in the contract, and wasn’t mentioned by the salesman either.

    Hello, I just watched your video. I would like to Refinance my car, it's @12ish % I've paid 47% off the contract. I called my Finance lender and said they don't report to the credit bureaus, I was so disappointed because I am trying increase my credit score, especially to refinance, any suggestions? Thank you in advance! 🙂 LightStream didn't compare to some of the others.. 8% to 15% lowest % for excellent credit my credit score is approximately 617 right now.

    Good tips, but I definitely encourage people to pay cash if possible! Financing a souped-up $40,000 luxury car is pretty much always a bad idea for most people, and refinancing isn't going to help much.

      This is generally true, but I'd say trucks are a bit of an exception. Trucks generally will have a substantially lower rate of depreciation, and ironing out issues during the warranty period has saved me a ton of money personally. You also never really can tell what people have done with trucks and it's not uncommon to see relatively low mileage well kept trucks that were absolutely abused with towing and off roading. Unless I'm allowed to do a full diff teardown, I'm generally pretty uncomfortable buying a used truck.
      But yeah with cars I always buy low mileage used and drive them till they are really high mileage.

    • @tunina6421
      @tunina6421 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@kingvintage2227interest and depreciation with loans generally mean you pay 1/3-1/2 (sometimes higher or lower depending on credit) what the sticker price is on top of the sticker price. Buying a car in cash also means you don't have to abide by contractual agreements with loans.
      It's always better to pay cash. The exception is what I have stated. Now in my circumstance, I had paid a very high down payment and took out a short term 10k loan. With a truck, you generally won't go upside down doing this and on top of that, you are certain the vehicle is being serviced properly and have a bit of grace with warranty coverage

      It’s very simple. Look up your local credit unions and see who has the best auto rates. Then go into their branch and ask to refinance. They’ll help you refinance if you qualify

      also talk to the person at the bank, 661-780 is usually the next credit score bracket, so maybe wait til your FICO score is over 661 to get even better rates.

    You don’t finance cars, period. You save up and buy one using cash. With financing, you’ll end up over time paying more for the car than it was worth. And with zero percent financing, the car price is marked-up to make buyers think they’re getting a deal when they are not
