No credit card required

So. Here is my situation. Spit balling a bit here.
I have an auto loan. A terrible loan. I had a credit score of zero and was in desperate need of a new vehicle. So, I got a high risk auto loan. 24%! I've only made about 3 payments. Previous to this loan, I couldn't get a credit card or any of line of credit.
Since acquiring this loan, I was able to attain a Capitol One mastercard on my own merits as well as be added as an authorized user to my parents chase card. And, when I got my free score here from myfico, it shows my EQ at 747! I found this to be SHOCKING. However when I look at Credit Sesame it shows my EX at 683 and my TU on credit karma around 600 (i know these are inaccurate/unreliable).
I guess I am asking how soon I could consider looking for an auto refi and what kind of interest rate some of you think I might be able to get into?
I've never refinanced myself. I have come across "after 6 months" on these forms many times. I do not see why you cannot go into your CU or bank and talk to them now about your desire to refinance and ask them when the earliest they would do so.
If your score is that high then I would definitely take the advice posted and go inside of a CU or bank to discuss refinancing ASAP. Wish you success on the journey.

+1. There is no reason to wait to refinance. You need to bail out of that 24% interest rate immediately !
Is 24% even legal?????
sorry.. 21.58%
LesWH believe it not it actually is. I was just recently discharged from a chapter 7 and Roadloans offered me 25%. I can't find anyone else to finance me so I'll be taking the deal for 6-12 months then refi.

Usually major dealerships are begging you to come in. I bet they could get the interest down to <25%. Their special financing department works with many subprime lenders. Prestige Financial is a good one to try as they have a rate reduction program.
Major dealerships don't refi your existing vehicle unless they wrap it up with a trade which is a really bad idea. If you trade in an upside down vehicle the dealership can only make the deal worse by moving the negative debt over to the next vehicle.
The OP is better off refinancing with a CU directly.
