don't simply calculate your current full settlement and compare.

 

when you take up a new loan, the entire cycle restarts again.

 

lets say you had a 120 mths loan (10 years), during your first month, bare minimal of your installment goes towards reducing the principal...

 

when you refinance for 7 years, the same bare minimal of your installment for the first month goes towards reducing the principal...

 

as compared after 3 years if you do not refinance, a larger portion of your installment will go towards reducing your principal.

 

unless you intend to keep your ride for the entire duration of the loan, you also need to calculate your full settlement after re-financing if you decide to sell your car again 2 years later.

If you intend to refinance, take the opportunity to shorten your loan tenor as well.

You will be able to hit breakeven pt faster and change car in a shorter time w/o having to top up too much come the time then.
