I have a Chrysler that is financed thru Cap1. I want to refi it in order to lower my DTI to get a mortgage, but I don't wanna waste an inq until I know how much I would need to pay down. I have a VERY high interest rate and just bought it a year ago, so I am quite a bit upside down. How do I figure it?
Probably just look at the blue book value. Assuming you put anything down for a downpayment, you'll likely have some breathing room. It might not even matter to some lenders, but to refinance you have to pay off the balance of the prior loan.
If you have extra cash floating around, I would've recommended paying extra each month to help drive down the principal faster on an ugly APR loan . As is just see what you can do regarding it. Just do all your auto-refi shopping in a short time period and from a scoring perspective you won't be wasting an inquiry.
