What is Refinancing?
Refinancing a vehicle is taking out a new loan to pay off an existing one. If that seems like too much borrowing, there is a reason why some people to consider it.
After 25 years in the motor industry, we’ve come to notice that many clients who bought their first dream car (and subsequent cars after that) have asked if there was a way they could lower their monthly instalment but still keep the car that they loved. They don’t want to trade in their vehicles for a cheaper alternative, but they still want to gain a financial advantage against the ever-changing market conditions. In essence, the majority is looking at either lengthening their finance period or trying to find a way of lowering their interest rate and reducing their monthly repayments. Some, on the other hand, were even looking at shortening the finance period in the hope of paying off their vehicles quicker so as to reduce their debt burden.
Furthermore, most first-time buyers buy vehicles at excessively high interest rates due to their low credit scoring. However, with time, these clients evolve into higher income groups with better credit ratings and an overall better financial standing in the market. Unfortunately, most were still being held accountable for monthly installments at very high interest rates. Due to this, they are looking at ways to restructure their current finance giving them more competitive rates and better terms.
