Need advice regarding refinance

I have 45 months left and owe a little more than $18,000 on a loan that's at 4.99%.  I'd like to refinance as my scores are quite a bit higher than in 2013 when I took out the loan.  I have no idea where to look for refinancing.  It's currently with Wells Fargo Dealer Financing. 

 

Any suggestions?

 

FICO scores:  EQ: 725, TU: 745, EXP: 743.

Re: Need advice regarding refinance

I hear DCU is good.  NFCU if you are a member... or any other CU is a good place to start.

 

I'm in a similar boat...  will be refinancing my 4.49% loan this fall once the Ch 13 derogs fall off my report and I meet the 700+ TU to get BECU's 1.99% rate.  I also plan to look into DCU at that time.

Re: Need advice regarding refinance

Thank you for the response.  I'm looking at the DCU website right now, and I'm confused as what to put down as the branch that's most convenient.  Since I'm in Kansas, non of them are.  Lol.  Also, do you know if you have to be a member of DCU before you apply?

Not sure.  Best thing to do is call them.  I believe they pull EQ and be prepared for a HP for membership and another HP for the car loan.

I had to think about that one for a minute...

 

I said I was in a similar boat as you... but it's a car I'm talking about.  It's a 2015 Dodge Challenger... and at 4,400 or so lbs it can definitely be classified as a boat. 

 

Still pretty fast though... Smiley Wink
