Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

The ONLY way you'll end up paying less in the long run is if you get a lower rate over the same period of time. If that's not the case, you're getting scammed.
Tell you what, run the numbers yourself:

1) Take your original loan with original payment amount and run it for the course of the lien - pay special attention to the time it takes to pay it off. Now add up the interest payments you're making vs principle.

2) Now take the re-fi lower payment and run it for the course of the lien and do the interest vs principle thing again.

I would be shocked if 2) was less than 1)

****DO NOT FORGET THE MONEY YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID INTO YOUR ORIGINAL LOAN (excluding down payment)***
If you really want to save yourself money, make extra car payments and pay it off early.
