Credit union celebrates growth in auto loans Bizjournals.com
Has surpassed the $1 billion mark in auto loans.Sonya McDonald , senior vice president of market development for Randolph-Brooks, attributes this area of loan growth to the credit union’s current low auto-loan interest rates and its consistent across-the-board lending policies for both financing and refinancing.
The credit union dropped its auto loan rate to 1.9 percent APR at the beginning of June and has seen an increase in loan applications and approvals since that time.
“I think it’s a milestone because it’s a billion dollars and we’ve done it in an economy where there’s a lot of turmoil going on,” McDonald says. “ ... (And) we’ve done it by being aggressive in marketing and pricing and just offering good old service.”
McDonald says that offering this low rate is one way the credit union is able to give back to and help its members.
Interestingly, Nancy Glennon , vice president of consumer lending, says much of the auto loan volume has come from vehicle refinancing.

What Is The Lowest Auto Loan Refinance Company Out There?
I am trying to refinance my Mazda car and currently, I am making a payment of $300 a month. What company has the lowest auto loan refinance interest rate? Needs to be available to Florida residents and it does not matter if it is an online company only. Thank you.
Sorry, you posted this twice, so I'm answering twice. I want to be sure that people down the road get the right information.
There is no one lender with the "lowest rates." We have many lenders that, depending on the situation, have the "lower" rate than the others. It just depends on your car and your finances.
Please note that Florida is enforcing a law that will make you pay sales taxes on your car again if you are refinancing to remove or add someone onto the loan (co-signer). Please just be aware of that as you are moving through the process.
I would start with a local credit union, but really, any one of the major auto refinance brokers are going to be talking to the same financers.
Where can I get an auto refinance loan that will give me extra cash over and above the payoff for my car?
I want to do some extra work on my car to enhance it's value and condition, rather than just trade up. I like my car and I know what I've got into it already. I don't want to get another used car--something that I have to start all over learning about, in terms of its mechanical needs. I just want to make my current car better, with the extra cash imbedded in the refinance.
you can get cash above the payoff for your car if you have enough equity to meet the LTV guidelines for the bank, and still have room. Check with all the local banks to see what their guidelines are, and what they would lend on your car.
Why will noone approve me for an auto refinance loan?
I have a decent credit score (650-700), lived at my resident long enough, been at my job long enough (almost 2 years) and make more than enough money to get a loan. I have paid on the car for 7 months on a 6 year loan. The interest rate is over 20% right now and have an excellent payment history on all my accounts/credit cards. So far, most reputable financing companies have rejected me online. I will soon go to banks and credit unions. Any suggestions?
Your best bet is to go to a credit union first- they tend to be more lenient and offer better rates, usually. What you are describing about your situation does not add up at all. If you really have 650-700 for a score, been at your residence for 3 years, had a STABLE employment history for at least 2 years and make more than enough money- you sould have a much lower interest rate.

A lot of banks are holding bad assets right now. However, nobody knows who is holding what, so any one of them could go bust at any time. As a result of this lack of information, banks are lending very warily to each other right now. As a result it's tough to get traditional financing for anything other than a first-time home purchase right now.
You might want to try going through prosper.com. Tell your story and see if you can raise the cash. Otherwise, you may just need to find a second source of income until credit markets improve.
1. Avoid going to multiple places looking for credit. Too many hard inquiries on your credit bureau will damage your score.
2. Read the book The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. You will find out that debt is NOT a tool, it is designed to make banks rich.
3. Sell this vehicle, rid yourself of this ridiculous loan, and buy yourself a good used vehicle for a couple thousand dollars. Then continue making "car payments" into a savings account, say $300 per month for the next year. At the end of one year, you'll have $3600 in cash. Sell your used beater for about $1700, add in the $3600, and you can now go buy a car for $5,300 in CASH.
If you like, continue saving the $300 per month for another year. Take that $3600, sell your existing car for about $5000, and you can now go looking for a vehicle worth close to $9000, and pay CASH for it. No interest, no stupid payments, no refinancing. Do that for as long as you like.
Think about it, in four years you could be driving a $15-16,000 car you paid cash for, instead of fighting interest payments on something that starts to lose value the moment you buy it.
Go to a credit union and see if you can get the car refinanced. I have had extremely good experiences with credit unions over banks for car loans, interest paid on deposits, etc. You will find the banking experience more compatible there than with other financial institutions.
You'll have to look for a credit union that you can join, as many have certain qualifications, like union membership, school teachers, federal employees, military personnel, etc. But look, ask, etc. because many have exceptions to the rule and are happy to have new accounts.
Good Luck, you deserve a break!!!
The other thing you should realize is that you recently financed a car at a 20% interest rate and the loan is only 7 months old. This and the depreciation means you are way upside down in that car right now and owe the original lender far more than what the car is worth. It is unlikely that any lender is going to touch that loan. There is too much negative equity because you haven't been paying on the car long enough.
I also don't understand why you took a 20% interest rate on an auto loan when you have such decent credit scores. Hopefully you realize that you could have done much better than 20%. Did you shop around before accepting that financing offer?
I'm afraid you've put yourself in a tough situation by buying that car. The banks and credit unions all now have more strict requirements for loan applications, and the fact that you now have all those other inquiries on your credit will not work in your favor if you apply with them to get a loan right now. I suggest that you stop applying for more credit for the time being and give your credit some time to recover from all these inquiries. Sell the car and use the cash to pay off the loan early and start over with a cheaper used car. Hopefully there are no prepayment penalties on this loan, but given the shady person that the car dealer obviously is, it probably does. Sorry to have to tell you this but that dealer gave you the royal screw.
I would say you aren't going to get refinanced at this time, and by going and having multiple places running your credit you are actually hurting your credit score.
Obviously you got a car loan with 20% interest because of your credit rating. It hasn't changed that dramatically in 7 mos to warrant a reputable place financing you.
Where is the best place to refinance my auto loan?
When I first got my auto in March 2006 my interest rate was 17.9% I refinance in September 2006 with E-loan for a rate of 11.04% we recently bought a home and our finally establishing some credit. So I think its time to refinance again. Does anyone recommend a great place to get a great rate?
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Why not use E-loan again?
Realize that interest rates have risen during the past 2 years and with your mortgage, you may not be able to do better than 11%. Plus, your car has continued to depreciate and there may not be any equity remaining for a refinance. Just be happy with what you have and make timely payments until the balance is $0.

Can i refinance and auto loan after 6 months for a better apr?
I got approved for a used car with a very high APR of 21%. I am thinking about taking the loan b/c my credit isnt the best but using it to help build my credit and then refinancing it. How soon after can i refinance my loan and will i get a much better apr on the car?
Depending on the company you are going w/. Sometimes it's only 6 months, sometimes it takes a year before they will let you refinance.
how do i get ex to refinance auto loan to stop messing up my credit?
we got the loan jointly while we were married, got divorced shortly after, she maintains possession but has not been making regular payments, so creditor has been contacting me regarding payments.
Nothing you can do. Should have had the Judge put the car in her name only, or had you both sell it and payed off the loan.
How do you refinance an auto loan?
I don't know the specifics of the loan (it's my boyfriends), but he purchased a vehicle around October of last year. He had never had an auto loan before and had little credit history, so his interest rate was fairly high. His loan is through a credit union. I know he has had one late payment.
Knowing this, does anyone have any recommendations on refinancing? We don't know a thing about it, but we do know that gas is too high not to consider it!
Thanks!
Let me see if I can get this answer out to you as fast and concise as possible.
1. What is Refinancing?
For a car, refinancing is taking a current loan and giving it to another (or the same lender) on new terms. The terms can go up or down (payments, interest, and length of term).
The old auto loan is paid off fully and title is transferred to the new lender. You cannot get cash out of this deal. You cannot change owners of the car by refinancing. If you don't need a cosigner, don't get one. (If this is your bf car, don't be a co-signer, trust me)
2. Why refinance?
Many reasons: 1. Extending your loan another few months can reduce your payments. 2. Reducing interest rate can reduce the amount you pay out over the life of the loan.
3. How much will I save?
That depends on many things. Most people think it's just the credit score of the borrower. But that isn't the only thing. LTV (loan to value, or the value of your car versus what you owe on it), DTI (debt to income, or what you make versus what you owe each month in rent, etc), and what the contents of your credit report are (collections, # accounts, etc.).
4. What you need when going for refinancing:
a. Car Info (make, model, year and VIN if you have it)
b. Loan Info (who, payoff, rate, payment)
c. Financial Info (monthly pay, monthly debts, SSN, etc)
5. Who do I go to for refinancing?
There is no right answer here. Start with the CU, see if they can help. I work for a car refinancing company that works a lot like Lending Tree, but for cars. We take your information to a list of lenders and get the best deal (like a personal shopper). Watch how many places you apply at though. Too many inquiries COULD (not will, could) hurt your credit. So be picky about who you apply to refinance with.
Let me know any other ?s you have. I'll add a link to our FAQs if that helps.
