I have been reading through the posts and I heard from one dealer that you can refinance in 3 months and be OK another said 6 Months, does anyone know what the truth is or where I should go to get a straight answer???? I am at 6.95% because I grabbed all the cash rebates and would like to refinance ASAP to catch the best rates.

I have asked our finance manager here at the dealership that a few times and I got 3 months for the answer.

If anyone else heard any different I'm sure they will chime on in.

I just refinanced my TrailBlazer (bought in late September) in December and got a letter from GMAC that my loan was paid in full with no penalty. So I would assume 3 months is good enough. Hope this helps.

I bought the Suburban on September 30th and took the GMAC financing to get the bonus. I closed the refinance at my Credit Union on November 18th. No penalty. Never made a payment to GMAC.

 

The finance guy at the dealership looked alamed when I asked about refinacning, and said I should make at least 3 payments to avoid damaging my credit rating :crackup: I suspect that the dealership had something to loose if I refied sooner. They signed me up at 8.9%, which was robbery given my credit rating. I'm at 3.25% at the Credit Union. Since they were perfectly willing to screw me, If I aced them out of a kickback then :crackup:

 

I read the contract from GMAC carefully before signing up, (which made the finance guy insane, as folks were stacked like cordwood in the lobby waiting for the one and only finance guy on a day that they sold 25 vehicles). It clearly stated that there is no prepayment penalty, and how to contact GMAC for the payoff amount. As soon as I could get a payoff amount, which did take a few weeks, my CU was ready to do the refinance.

 

By the way, the President of the Credit Union assured me that refinancing would have no adverse effect on my credit rating as long as nothing was overdue. :crackup:

 

As with jauto, I got a letter from GMAC stating that it was paid off in full.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
