No, dealerships get their money only at tome of purchase and have absolutely nothing to do with refinancing any vehicle, that’s solely up to you.

The dealer gets his spiff for selling the loan once the loan has been in force for three months. And not until. You refinance immediately they lose out. That's why they take steps to convince you not to refinance until that much time has elapsed.

I NEVER made a payment to GM. Got my 4 or 5k in incentives (and a 7% rate!!) and refinanced about 2 weeks later with a credit union at 2.74%.    I ended up not paying any payments at all for

When I bought my ‘18 the dealer told me the 6 month crap. I refinanced before my first payment and everything was fine. Then I was working a deal on a AT4 and the dealer looked up my past deal and saw

My guys told me 3 months, but said there was no penalty for sooner. In my opinion GM financial is bringing this on themselves for only offering these insane interest rates. Sent from my SM-G975U usi

My dealership made me sign a document that stated I wouldn't refinance until I've made 4 payments. It says if I do refinance I'll forfeit the 1500$ down payment assistance. Not sure if that means they'd come after me in Civil Court to get their 1500$.. ? 

 

I did get a good price on the truck. 3rd one I've bought from this dealer so I'll probably just wait to refinance. 

 

You have located one of the "dirtball" dealers I referred to.

I've owned my Trail Boss LT for 2 weeks and yesterday I refinanced it with my local credit union for a MUCH lower rate without making a single payment to GM. Guess I'll wait and see if the dealer balks. I don't recall signing anything saying I couldn't refinance, but rather they asked me to make 3 payments to GM.

Did they explain why they'd like you to make 3 payments? 3 payments seems clearly to be the demarcation line. If I was sitting across from a dealer and he was candid enough to outline the scenario and ask me to comply I'd probably be impressed with his honesty and actually give it some thought. For about 28 seconds on my way to my bank.

So they (the dealership) could benefit from the incentive discounts from GM. I was like, sure! Not really. I'll see what, if anything happens sooner than latter! :-)

Mine is at 0% so no reason to payoff.

Right there with ya. Went and bought the wife a GMC terrain for 0 percent, decided my 16 Silverado could use an update and got a 19 at zero.

 

On a side note, I imagine the 3 payments is so you qualify for some of the rebates that relate to financing with GM Financial. I'd be interested to see if there's any kickback from them once you refinance. I doubt there's anything they can do.

Good info, thanks to all for sharing! We're buying a 2018 Equinox Premier this week for my wife and I will be taking the GMF rebate and refinancing with a local credit union in pretty short order..  A side note, because it was a courtesy transporter We're buying a $39k MSRP Equinox for $25,600 with 4500 miles on the ODO.

Many financial institutions will consider a car used with over 5k miles on it. See what yours does because also many times a used car rates are higher than a new car. You’d want to refi right away.

You are correct, my very good friend owned a Chevy dealer and as I said in an earlier post he didn't get paid for selling the loan unless I kept the loan for 90 days, then he would get paid.

The key thing is that neither you nor the dealer lose the $1500 rebate.

 

The dealer loses the referral fee GMF gives them for getting you on the GMF loan that is separate from the $1500. 

 

Unless anyone has any facts that differ.......

My dealer didn’t push GMAC financing at all. It’s only one of many financial institutions they use.
They compared 3 or 4 then showed me the rates and I made the final decision..

Getting a good rate is not the ultimate goal. Getting an additional $1500 discount and then getting a good rate, through refinancing, is the goal.

You're right that used rates are higher but, only by about 1-2 tenths of a point in my area...

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
