my credit IS better, but i dunno if it would warrant a better rate. and like i asked earlier, is there a specific way i go about trying to get it refinanced, like a period of time i need to wait between when i bought it and when i go back? sorry, im a noob h:

well keep in mind this "beater" is most likely going to require some sort of financing. but im hoping to cut my $500 a month in half

never tried to refi a car before but used car rates are much higher than new. Doubt you would get better rates by selling the TSX for a cheaper car.

It is unwise to dump new cars within the first couple of years. You take a big depreciation hit. If you like the car and you are not in dire financial problems its probably better to keep it for the long haul.

I'd wait at least a year and a half to refinance a loan from the time you got it, otherwise your rate isn't gonna budge much and it's not gonna be worth it.
