If you wait three months, assuming 7%, $20k, and 5 years, you will lose
about $360 from paying interest. I refinanced mine about 2 weeks after
buying it.

I'd be interested in knowing what you guys (youz guys = Y'all down here in
the south - I'm not a native) got for an interest rate from HMFC. I got
6.99% and my score is 782. Higher than some value - unknown - is gravy for
the dealer.

Financing a little over 16K, we got 6.2% for 5 years. Refinanced before
the first payment was due and there was no penalty. I'd have to look up
the figures to be sure, but it seems like we "lost" about $70 by
financing through HMFC to get the rebate.

how can you lose $70? if you got $1,000 financing rebate and paid off
the car in a month?

seems like you gained $930

You don't suppose that's why he put "lost" in quotation marks, do you?
