I would like to lower my monthly payments by refinancing my auto loan. I have a good credit score to refinance (700s). I was recently unemployed (from October to February). However, I am about to start a new job this March 1.

How long should I be employed to qualify for an auto loan refinancing? (if there is such a requirement)

Thanks, I appreciate it.
