NFT: Finance Question: Refinancing Car Loan

okayrene : 9/23/2014 4:42 pm
Hey guys,

So I'm currently going on Year 3 of a 5 year car loan. I've kept the car in pretty good condition and I'm considering refinancing to a new 5-year loan to drop my monthly payments.

I got my current car loan from my dealer at ~4.0%. My insurance company, State Farm, is also offering me refinancing options, although that sounds like a bad idea.

Anything I should know about refinancing, anything I definitely should not do?
know the APR

Get gap insurance thrown in

also, how long will you extend it? you probably dont want to extend it longer than the expected life of the car.
I forgot to mention

The Car is a 2013. So it's as old as the loan. I put 21-22% down so I should not be upside down, currently.
