Stop overpaying on your car loan.

A couple quick questions

Hi, I’m Buddy. About how much do you still owe on your car?

A rough number is fine. It’s on your statement or your lender’s app.

Your credit score, roughly?

Your best guess is fine. The lender confirms it later, so the closest range gets you the right match.

What state do you live in?

Lenders are licensed by state. This picks the right ones.
Pick your state.

What year is your car?

Lenders price your new rate off the vehicle.

Last one: about how many miles are on it?

A rough number is fine.

Good news. I found a lender that may be able to help.

Where should I email your match? I’ll send your lender match and your savings numbers so you have them in writing, even if you miss the call. One email, no spam.
Enter a valid email address.

Who should the lender ask for?

Your name as it appears on your license.
Enter your first and last name.

Last step: a valid US mobile number.

The lender uses this number to verify your identity and confirm your new rate. If they can’t reach you, they can’t lower your payment.
Please check the highlighted fields.

I just texted you a 6-digit code.

Enter it to confirm your number. This keeps your match from going to the wrong person.

How Buddy works

A couple of taps. Buddy does the legwork.

01

Tell me about your car

Model year, mileage, what you owe and your credit range. Under a minute, and I never ask for your SSN.

02

I shop 100+ lenders

I check your answers against lenders that refinance cars like yours in your state and pick the one that fits.

03

You lock in a lower payment

The lender confirms your rate, pays off your current loan and handles the title paperwork. You start paying less.

Why your payment might be too high

Most people never check after they drive off the lot.

Your credit improved

A year of on-time payments can move you into a better tier than the one you were priced at. Lenders don’t lower your rate on their own.

The dealer set your rate

Dealer-arranged financing can include a markup over what the lender actually offered. Refinancing directly can take it out.

You took the first offer

Buying the car and signing the loan usually happen in the same visit. There’s no time to shop, so most people don’t.

Ask Buddy

Will this affect my credit score?

Nope. Checking with me doesn’t touch your credit. If you move forward, the lender runs a check to confirm your rate.

Does it cost anything?

Not a cent. The lenders I connect you with pay me, so you never do.

What do I need?

Just your car’s model year, rough mileage, what you owe, and your credit range. I never ask for your Social Security number.

Can I refinance an older car or one with high miles?

Depends on the lender. Most have a cap on age and mileage, which is why I ask up front. I only match you with lenders that fit your car.

How fast does it happen?

You see your match the second you finish. Once you accept an offer, most refinances close within days. The slow part is usually your current lender sending the payoff.

I’m ready when you are

A couple quick questions and I’ll match you with the right lender out of 100+. No SSN, no credit hit, no cost.
