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.

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.
