Approved by DCU...is this real life???

Sooooooooo, I was looking to refinance Goldilocks the Gold Corolla. I am in a 20.45% loan from CPS. I was offered a 13.06% deal from Blue Harbor which sounded fantastic to me. For kicks, I also applied with DCU and was approved for.....wait for it.....waaaaait for it.....

 

 

2.24% APR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can knock that even lower to 1.74% if I direct deposit with them!!!!

 

From $330/month to $188/month.......just with a phone call or two....

 

 

I am beyond over the moon. I feel high....I still cant even believe it!! 

 

Thank you guys on here SO much. If not for these forums I would probably have stuck it out with CPS for a lot longer, and paid WAY huge in interest payments!!!!! 

 

Ok.....I need a beer.....Smiley Happy

Congrats on the savings. If you can afford to, keep paying $330/month and you will save even more.

Congrats, I just did the sAme with them going from 9.5% to the 1.74%. Your savings are nuts. I'd almost shorten your term or as the poster above said keep paying that $300 and watch the principal balance plunge

Congrats, at 2.24% I would not be in a hurry to pay this car off unless all of your credit card debt is already paid.
