Auto Refinance Loans-Lower Price with lesser monthly payments

February 18th, 2011
Auto trend

An auto refinance loan may be the answer. But, is auto refinancing correct for you? Ask yourself three basic questions:

Did you get the original rate from your dealer who, at the time, offered auto refinance loans?  Is it probable that an extra lender, possibly a bank, may have offered a lower price on your auto refinance loan?   Are you interested in increasing the equity of your vehicle, reversing the “upside-down” trend of your car’s cost depreciating faster than you pay off the auto refinance loan?

With auto refinance loans, customers everywhere are literally saving thousands of dollars over their loan conditions. Consider this example:

You borrow ,000 at a rate of 13.4% over a time of 5 years, and then refinance after four months to a fresh, lower rate of 9.1%. You save ,350 over the remainder of the auto refinance loan time.

If you financed your vehicle at a dealership, you possibly paid an interest surcharge called Rate Participation. Dealers who offer auto refinance loans will normally create cash on the interest you’re charged by marking up the rate lenders provide. Sometimes this price hike can be 3% greater than what a bank would have quoted you otherwise. In these cases, your present credit rating previously qualifies you for a lower auto refinance loan rate, one that would have equated to lesser monthly payments.

Window Washer Fluid and Air Conditioner Refrigerant: Monthly Automotive Maintenance Part 6

March 14th, 2010

Guess what?? These are the last two fluids left to check every month, to keep your vehicle sufficiently hydrated and all of its thirsts quenched. These two fluids, while not crucial to the life of your vehicle, make driving that vehicle more pleasant and comfortable. Also, these are the only two fluids that do get used up. If the levels get low, adding the proper fluids is something that needs to be done for the mechanical equipment to work. No washer fluid, no clean windshield. No air conditioning refrigerant, no air conditioning.

Air Conditioning Refrigerant

Checking the level of your air conditioning refrigerant is a procedure that your technician will have to complete for you. Because it is not actually a fluid, but a gas. In most of the newer model cars, there is a light in the instrument panel that goes on when your refrigerant is low, or there is some other problem with the air conditioning.

Windshield Washer Fluid

Almost every newer model vehicle on the roads today has a light in the instrument panel that will tell you when you are low on washer fluid. And most vehicles that are equipped with rear windshield wipers will have a receptacle located in the rear of the vehicle that contains the fluid for the rear windshield. Your owner’s manual will tell you how to access that container.
