We all want to maximise the value of our household or business income. Consider the following benefits below:
To refinance your existing car loan or lease, simply contact your existing lender and explore the available options.
At AFS, we will ask you questions about the purpose of refinancing and what you are trying to achieve. When considering a request to refinance, we are required to ensure that you are no worse off and our credit scoring model will adjust your interest rate to reflect the timely repayments made on the existing loan and your new circumstances.
In most circumstances, refinancing your car loan will result in reduced repayments and could save you valuable dollars which can be used to pay down your loan or spent elsewhere.
No. You can not be forced into refinancing with the same lender.
However, as your existing lender already has your details on file and your repayment history, the simplest solution is often to renew terms with your existing financial institution.
At AFS, we value each and every one of our customers and our friendly staff will gladly assist you to understand if refinancing your car loan can save you money and they will arrange the whole process for you. Alternatively you can also use your finance broker who can act as your agent.
Many borrowers focus solely on the interest rate to be charged on the new loan.
However, many could be caught unaware that, by refinancing, they may actually be paying more interest overall. This is due to the additional interest being added on top of the first loan,particularly if the new loan is for an extended period beyond the initial loan term, as well as also refinancing the early exit costs and new setup costs on the refinance.
Having said this, and despite the total interest payable potentially being higher, the monthly loan repayments are likely to be lower.
Including a Balloon Payment or Residual Value in your loan or lease can be a good idea to lower your monthly repayments and enable you to purchase a better car.
As your car loan approaches maturity you need to decide between the following options that are available to you:
Refinancing a Balloon Payment or Residual is available on the same terms as those for any new or used car and the interest rate will be based on your updated credit profile.
Your original Balloon Payment or Residual can be anywhere from 0%-55% of the purchase price, depending on the term, which you can refinance over another 1-5 years. You can also choose to structure the new loan or lease to incorporate a new Balloon Repayment if you wish.
At AFS, we are happy to assess any request to refinance your loan before the Balloon Payment is due. Ideally, we'd like to get things underway a few months prior to the Balloon falling due, giving you plenty of time to search for your new car.
