No credit card required

I just bought a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Eco and received financing at a 4.89% APR. I opted to purchase GAP insurance and the price is tied into the total loan.
Today I called State Farm (where I have my insurance) to get the insurance switched over from my previous car to the new one and the woman asked if I would like to refinance the loan with them. Keep in mind I just bought this car last Saturday the 15th, so the loan I have for it is brand new, haven't even made a payment yet.
She said that they offer GAP insurance with their loans at no additional cost and APRs as low as 2.3% maybe 1.9% (of course with the right credit report)
My question is, is it really wise to pay off an auto loan that quickly in order to refinance with a different lender after just getting it set up?
Thanks for any help y'all can give.
Thanks for the reply pizzadude
I've just never heard of someone turning around and refinancing immediately after being granted financing on a car. Does the original lender look down on this? Or would my other creditors see this as something unusual?
I don't have anything helpful to add. Just wanted to say congrats on having such a good problem. I hope to get stuck in pickles like this one day myself once I clean up my act!
