Refinance Auto Loan Advice

I bought a car last month March 2024 with a dealer who only finances with Ally.

My Credit score was 805 and Ally gave me 13% Interest rate, highest I've ever had, My trade in was financed by Bank of America last year at 6.1%

I want to quickly refinance with Bank of America before the first payment to Ally in May.

My Loan with BOA is paid off but has not yet reported to my Credit.

Also my new loan with Ally hasnt reported to my credit as well.

Should I go ahead and apply for a Refinance with Bank of America right now as I just got my title transfer and registration today OR Should i wait for both the payoff and new loan to report to my credit before I Refinance ?

Thanks

Re: Refinance Auto Loan Advice

Why did you take the loan at 13%?

Rebuild started in 2014  -  $100k unsecured credit in 2017  -  $500k unsecured credit in 2024.

Re: Refinance Auto Loan Advice

if you can log into your Ally account with loan # and get a 10 day payoff you should be able to refinance. even 1 month isnt gonna kill you with Ally

Congrats, will save a lot 13% --> 7%.

A very, very nice car or typo 151k loan sure top's any car loan of mine.   Smiley LOL

Re: Refinance Auto Loan Advice

Ally didnt approve you for 13%, am sure it was lower than that but maybe not 7%......the dealer wants their piece so they gave you a sell rate, padded it quite heavily it seems

 

congrats man and am sure that is a weight off your shoulders
