"Should I refinance my car at half the interest rate halfway through the loan? "
"I bought a new Subaru three years ago. The car loan interest rate is 10% and I’ve been paying extra every month so that I am not upside-down on the loan.
I got an offer to refinance the car at a 5% interest rate. Should I take this offer or would it be a lateral move?
"

“You should absolutely take that offer. You will likely not save a ton of money, but the move will not be lateral, it will be an improvement.
If you can continue making the higher payments, you will not only save more money but you will also
pay off
the refinance loan early. One of the best parts about this deal is that you could possibly decrease your monthly payments, making the loan more flexible.
