Worth trying for a re-fi?

I'd love to refi my auto loan and get the payment down a bit, if possible. 

 

Currently: 

 

Term: 6 payments in to 48 months. 

Payment: $480

Points: 14.54%

Payoff: $16,314.43

Bank: VW Credit. 

 

 

I tried (2 months ago) applying to Cap One A.F., ..... they approved me, but said the interest would actually be MORE, making the payment go up by $50. Needless to say, i declined their offer. 

 

Background: I've got 3 baddies on my report, all 3+ years old. Two of them will fall off mid-2011, and one will be on until 2013 unless i can get it taken off with a GW letter. 

 

Is it worth waiting until the 2 paid collections fall off later this year to try to refi? I'm positive my score will jump when those fall off.

I would see about joining Navy Fed... or check your local CU... otherwise I would wait until the 2 collections fall off.
