David asked:

I brought my car in 05 it is a 05 . The price was 13,000 and I now owe only 5,000 and some change but I have one negative report on my credit should I refinance to pay off the debt or what should I do? I would like to pay off this debt asap and I have two more years with my car loanand less than 6,000 is this good?

Okay, after all the crap answer before me, I hope you are in for the real answer.

1. You owe too little on your car to refinance. Basically few lenders will refinance a 5K loan. The interest isn't worth it to them and it's most definitely not with it to you. You've basically already paid your interest at this point. My advice would be to just pay it off as soon as possible.

2. Upsides to refinancing:
a. reducing buy generic drugs online interest rate at no cost to you
b. lowering car payment
c. good credit from having a closed secured loan and opening another

3. Downsides:
a. Lowering payment sometimes means taking the terms out a number of months, but for some people this is best.
b. Sometimes your rate goes higher and you end up paying a little more over time to get a lower payment now.

These all depend on your specific financial history. I've seen people go from 18% down to 8% as an example and reduce their payment at the same time as shortening their term. Anything is possible, it just depends on the situation.

Hope this helps!
