Gm finance offering 1500 bonus is you finance through them. Rate is much higher than my cu. Dealer employees say I can payoff after 4 months w/out penalty.
Has anyone refinanced the gm loan w/out headaches ?
Understand some loans are structured such that if you payoff early you still owe the imputed interests
Thanks

To be safe, you should individually review the provided leasing arrangement as there can be unique language from one person to the next.

That being said, I reviewed this with a deal over the phone recently and he told me the requirement was 7 months under the financing arm before any changes could be made. I never made it close enough to get a copy of the papers to review, but I'm sure they would provide you an example copy.

^^^ yes whoever is doing the loan paperwork will know the details and can tell you specifically, basically ask for it in writing

There’s a usual 90-360 day “buy-back” period in financing. Ask for the details in writing, but assuming you have good credit, 120 days sounds about right.

This has been discussed before and others have said it was not specifically stated in their contract and switched financing without a problem.

I paid mine off when I received notice that the first payment was due. I did not incur any penalties and they sent me the title very quickly.

it depends on the state, some states by law lender can't charge you penalty for paying off early

Just purchased my (new) 2018 one week ago, with the GM financing deal. Finance guy advised I should make the first 3 months payments, and then can payoff after 3rd payment with no penalty. He advised extra payment to the principal can be as much as I want for those first 3 payments to lower the interest being paid. That's the plan.
