Understanding Owned Vehicle Financing
As well as putting financing in place to purchase a new vehicle, you can also refinance one you already own. You may want to refinance so that you can extend your loan term and lower your monthly payments. This will, however, increase the total interest you pay.
If you secured your vehicle loan when interest rates were higher, refinancing can potentially lower your interest rate, significantly reduce your monthly payments, and save you money over the life of the loan. If you have multiple car loans, refinancing can consolidate them into one loan with a single monthly payment, potentially simplifying your monthly finances.
