RV Refinancing Tips!
How much can I save by refinancing
my existing RV loan?
The answer to this question
depends upon several factors. It would depend on how much you could reduce
your interest rate. It would also depend on your unpaid loan balance. You
would need to weigh the potential savings against the closing costs... if
any.
For example: If a loan with
$57,000 remaining to be paid at 8.5% interest could be refinanced at
6.87%, you could save over $5,000 in finance charges. You could also
choose to lower your payments, or lower your repayment term. The choice is
yours, but in the case of RV refinancing, there are NO closing costs
which means that virtually any savings in interest rate make a refinance a
smart move.
What's your RV Loan percentage rate?
Finance is a tricky
business that can help you save thousands of dollars, or can sneak
up and bite you in the behind. There are many aspects of financing your
vehicle other than percentage rate and payments, although these are the
two things that people usually focus on.
Obviously these two points are of major
importance in your decision to purchase your RV, and also if and where to
finance it. We will focus on these two points first, but then we will go
deeper into the hidden secrets behind financing your RV like a pro.
The first factor to consider is
obviously interest rate. A savings of even a quarter to a half percent in
interest rate will translate into thousands of dollars over the course of
the loan. This will be one aspect of comparison between your dealer's
financing and your bank.
The second aspect you must consider is
term. In other words, how long will they finance the loan. This will
directly effect your monthly payment amount.
Best Rate RV Loans vs. Local Bank
Financing
Most banks are set up primarily to finance auto
loans with maximum terms of only 5 to 6 years. Because of constantly
rising car prices, some banks and credit unions are now offering longer
terms. Rarely however, will they go any longer than 7 years. Even if you
are financing an RV, the same terms will apply. This can make for an
extremely high payment.
This is where the RV dealer has an advantage that
you can use. RV dealers are set up with lenders who finance recreational
vehicles on a daily basis. In order to fit the payments into your budget,
you can easily finance for 10 or even 15 years. This can mean the
difference between an affordable payment, and one that is difficult if not
impossible. (In higher price ranges some dealers are offering 20 year
terms!)
