@Anonymous  Are you a member of a credit union? If not, have you considered joining one, e.g. PenFed, DCU, local, etc?

 

CU's to join for Savings Rate now and possible Credit Products later!

It depends on the bank and the vehicle. 

 

Some credit unions will refinance current and previous model year cars as if they were new (you'd still be upside-down, just on a path to pay it off).

 

A 2020 and 2021 model year vehicle could be refinanced as a new vehicle this month. Sometime between April and July it would change to 2021 & 2022 model years.

Re: How to Refinance up side down?

My credit union refinances up to 110% of NADA value.

If your scores were better you might be able to get a combo loan from a credit union.

 

When I re-financed with my Local Visions FCU I was $1,000 too upside down.  They offered to give me an unsecured line of credit for that or increase my credit limit on my 8.5% Visa to cover the difference.

 

Sadly with a high interest low down payment loan it will take a very long time to get right side up.

 I have 13.49% post BK, it's not that high IMHO. 

 

 People around here think anything higher than zero is too high.

 

 You can refi out of it, most banks will go up to 120% of NADA value.

 

 Pay down your credit cards AZEO to below 10% and try Lending Tree, Nerd Wallet, Capital One or Local Bank. You can get good rates out of Wells Fargo and Bank of America both are heavy car lenders.

At what payment amount would you be comfortable?  Even if you can do a refi you will probably be in the $450 range with a good rate and 60 months.   You should refi at a cheaper rate but I just wanted to temper your expectations in case you were expecting a much cheaper payment.  I guess you could go 72 months but you will probably be negative equity all they way until you drive the wheels off it.

To hit the 110% loan threshold you have about another year and a half.

When you take out a 70+ month loan you are upside down for about 3 years.

You should just pay your loan and enjoy your new car for another yesr or two.
