Why Toyotas are lender friendly
- Exceptional resale value across the range.
- Long service life, so older models remain financeable.
- Tacoma and RAV4 hold value so well that loan to value improves quickly.
- Low repair costs reduce the risk of a lapse in payments.
When to look at refinancing
Once you are past the steepest part of the depreciation curve and your payment history is clean, refinancing usually produces the best offer. For most Toyota owners that is somewhere between 12 and 24 months in.
Keep the car, change the loan
Refinancing does not affect your Toyota warranty, your service schedule or your insurance. Only the financing changes.
How the refinancing process works
Refinancing is not a sale and it is not a new purchase. Your current lender is paid out in full, a new loan is registered against the vehicle you already own, and your payments restart on the new terms.
- Apply online with your VIN, the vehicle details and a rough idea of your current loan balance.
- Your finance manager requests a payout statement from your current lender.
- Documents arrive by DocuSign. Review the rate, term and payment, then sign from home.
- The old loan is paid out, the new loan begins, and your payment drops to the new amount.
