Owning a car in Louisiana has become a necessity, but it isn’t cheap.
Louisiana drivers pay the highest monthly loan payments in the country for new and used cars at nearly $600 and $400, respectively. We also have the second highest loan balance in the U.S. at more than $24,000.
Factor in insurance and registration fees and your vehicle takes a big bite out of your wallet each month.
Refinancing your auto loan can help you reduce your car’s financial cost.
Reduce Your Rate and Payments
Across the U.S., drivers lowered their average interest rate by 5.4% with an auto refinance. That means cash that stays in their wallets.
How much cash? It could be more than $1,000 a year!
In 2020, Louisiana drivers who refinanced their car saved $1,087 a year! Think about what you could do with that extra cash!
Is Now the Right Time?
Maybe
Everyone and every car is different, but right now is a great time for most people to refinance their auto loans.
With interest rates still at historic lows and a lack of inventory for new cars, more Americans are choosing to refinance their current vehicles to save money. In 2020, drivers refinanced just 14.5 months into their existing auto loans. If your loan is older than that, you can still save depending on how much you owe and where you are in the repayment plan.
