When can you refinance a car loan?

What is the recommended time to refinance the loan? My girlfriend and I cosigned for a loan. We want to refinance our car loan to save up money to go on a vacation.

Saving up money to go on a vacation can feel like a stretch sometimes, but refinancing your car loan can save you hundreds of dollars throughout your new loan. The best time frame is to wait at least six months; however, you can legally refinance anytime.
