Auto Loan Refinance Shelby NC

(ARA) - If high gas prices coupled with a big monthly car payment have you thinking that it might be time to trade in your truck or SUV, you'll be happy to know there is an alternative. Consider refinancing your auto loan at a lower interest rate, and using the money you save to offset today's high gas prices.

By refinancing your auto loan, you could get a lower interest rate, and a lower monthly payment. Customers who apply for auto refinancing through companies such as RateGenius Loan Services can potentially see a great savings in their monthly budget. RateGenius customers, on average, reduce their interest rate an average of 3.67 percent from their previous interest rate, and an average of $65 off their existing monthly auto payment. This type of savings frees up money for you to pay for the extra hke in gas.

"Many people don't realize that you can refinance your auto loan just like you can refinance your mortgage," says company CEO Chris Brown. Auto loan refinancing works very much like home refinancing, with one big difference. With the exception of a title transfer fee required by law, there are no costs for the consumer.

When you refinance, you will get a new lender for an existing loan, often for a better rate. You can also extend the payment term, skip a few payments, add or remove a co-applicant and add products (such as GAP insurance and extended warranties) to a loan.

In some cases, the company is able to arrange loans that allow up to 90 days with no payments. The savings consumers will see vary, but can be substantial. For example, if you have a $30,000 loan payable over 60 months at 12.5 percent interest, your monthly payment will be $674.95. By refinancing with rateGenius at a new interest rate of 7.5 percent, your monthly payment will drop to $601.14.
