I'm literally in the same process as you. Looking to buy in the next few months and wanted to refi my auto loan to get a better interest rate.
Dropped my rate from 7.49% to 4.99% - should have a definite impact on my DTI and monthly debts which should hopefully look good to any underwriter, and is hopefully easy to explain to any underwriter worth their salt.
Good luck!

If it were closer then you have to worry with your score dropping because of the inquirey and your AAOA going down. But being that far out you should not have an issue and you will save a good chunk of money by doing the refi.
Sorry for the confusing post. I had only been half into my cup of coffe.
lol thank you for the additional detail. Yes, I am assuming I cannot close until the lates are 12 months old. However, I'm confused as to what month that 3/12 late would be a year old. On 3/01/13, when the bank reports the 2/28/13 data OR 4/1/12, when they report that as of 3/31/13, I am paid as agreed.
Also, does anyone know of a good place I can go to get auto refinancing with auto lates? I was thinking Cap One, just because my car fits their criteria and I already have a Cap One cc.

BumNT, did you have auto lates on your old 7.49% loan? If yes, how did the refi process go for you??
No, no lates on my loan. Automatic withdraw every month so I don't have to worry about it.
