Refinancing a private-party auto loan
Bought your car from a private seller and financed it separately, or want to refinance a private-party loan? These loans can often be refinanced, subject to the vehicle meeting lender guidelines for age, mileage, and value..
Private-party purchases are financed differently from dealer sales, and some lenders are pickier about them. When you refinance, the lender cares about the car’s value, its age and mileage, and a clean title as much as your credit. We match your loan to lenders comfortable with private-party paper. Because Champion Auto Finance is a licensed financing partner and not a lender, our job is to structure the refinance and shop it across tiers, then guide it to funding with clear terms. Start with the auto refinance hub for the full process.
The one number that matters most is the rate. A lower rate reduces the total you pay, not just the monthly payment. We show both so the trade-off is never hidden.
What you’ll need
- Your current loan details — lender, payoff balance, rate, and monthly payment.
- The vehicle information — VIN, year, make, model, and mileage.
- Proof of income and identity, and sometimes proof of residence and insurance.
