You want to tap into your vehicle’s equity for extra cash

You can afford a larger payment, and want to pay off your loan faster with a shorter term

Interest rates have dropped, or your credit score has improved so you qualify for a lower rate

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process to refinance a car loan?

Start with an application: we’ll review your credit, income, and vehicle details.

If approved, we’ll pay off your current lender directly and handle the title transfer.

How does my existing auto loan get paid off?

Once you sign your refinance documents, we send a payoff check to your current lender. If the loan is paid off early, any remaining balance will be refunded to you or applied to your new loan.

Can I refinance a car loan if I have negative equity?

Yes, in some cases. Approval depends on your credit and loan-to-value ratio, with a maximum of 130%.

How long does it take to refinance an auto loan?

Some refinances can be completed the same day. Paying off your existing loan may take up to 10 business days.

Can I refinance an existing SunWest auto loan?
