Auto Loan ReFi without Chexsystems

I have credit that's right around 700 (EX is 720, the rest are hovering, the scores in my siggy are dated). I have 16,600 in avaiable credit and a 14% util. I've had my $17k auto loan (first ever) since January on a 2011 BMW 5 series that is at 13.3% with a monthly of $393. I'd like to re-fi, but I'm on Chexsystems which means a lot of banks just cant do it. Are there any institutions out there that can make it worth me refinancing? There has to be a better rate out there.

Started on July 4th, 2016 with 400's FAKO scores, no FICO, a dozen baddies and no credit of any kind.

As of March 2018, Before The Fall:
AmEx Blue Cash Everyday: $12,600
Chase Sapphire Preferred: $10,000
Bank Of America BankAmericard: $6,000
Capital One Quicksilver One: $5,500
Citi Diamond Preferred: $5,400
NFCU Cash Rewards Visa Signature: $5,100
NFCU Go Rewards MasterCard World: $5,000
Wells Fargo Propel: $3,500
Barclay's Uber Visa: $2,500
AmEx Starwood Preferred Guest: $2,000
Citi Double Cash: $1,500
AmEx Hilton Honors: $1,000
Discover It: $600
Capital One Platinum: $500

TOTAL 2018 CREDIT LINE: $61,200

JUNE 2023 UPDATE
2020: COVID toppled me. All old accounts went into default. Business lost. Car repossessed.
2021: Cap1 let me back in (one secured/two not). Secured Mission Lane. AU on AMEX Gold, Citi Premier and Chase Sapphire. Car loan approved without cosigner for $20,000. All current.
Currently: No lawsuits. Thinking most SOL have expired on CC debt. Fingers crossed my math and memory are correct.

CURRENT SITUATION:
Mission Lane Secured: $3,400 (SL $400 -- unasked for CLI)
Capital One Secured: $300
Capital One QS1: $300
Capital One Savor: $1,000
Chase Sapphire Preferred: $10,000 (AU)
AMEX Gold: No Preset Limit (AU)
Citi Premier: $8,500 (AU)

Not certain because I have not had to deal woth check systems but I always suggest working with credit unions on car loans. They beat the APR that banks offer and have great customer service.  Try DCU, Penfed, NFCU or Alliant.  Of course most communities have great local credit unions also.  So many come here with high interest loans and follow our advice to go with a credit union and report back pretty huge wins.  The thing you need to pay close attention to is the loan to value.  How much the car is worth versus how much you owe.  If it is under 100% you should be in decent shape, 80% would make it easier but loan to value is the thing that holds most refis up on used cars.
