When Assuming there are no prepayment penalties paying more then your monthly car payment can?
Paying more than your monthly car payment can help reduce the principal balance of your loan, which in turn decreases the total interest paid over the life of the loan. This can lead to paying off the loan earlier than scheduled, providing you with greater financial freedom sooner. Additionally, making extra payments can improve your credit score by demonstrating responsible debt management. However, it’s essential to ensure that these extra payments are applied directly to the principal.

How can you reduce your car loan?
If you mean how can you reduce your monthly payments, you can refinance at a better interest rate or refinance for a longer term.

Check with your lender to be sure there is no prepayment penalty.
Are residential mortgage pre-payment penalties tax deductible?
I am not 100% certain of the answer, but in most cases we can deduct the interest, but not usually any fees associated with the mortgage. I am assuming you can't deduct it. Consult a tax professional. I have a suggestion for those who are thinking of paying off their mortgage when a prepayment penalty is in place. I used to be in the mortgage business. Suggestion: Prepayment penalties are usually around 5%. So, if you have a balance of $10,000 the prepayment penalty would be $500. There is a very simple answer for avoiding most of the cost of prepayment. In your next payment pay everything but a portion. Leave a balance of $100 or $500. In most cases the prepayment penalty is calculated on the balance. Make your your final payment of $100-$500. This way your penalty will only be a $5-$25 saving you a lot of money. Then the tax issue is really of no consequence.From IRS Publication 936: "Mortgage prepayment penalty.If you pay off your home mortgage early, you may have to pay a penalty. You can deduct that penalty as home mortgage interest provided the penalty is not for a specific service performed or cost incurred in connection with your mortgage loan." I paid a prepayment penalty and my year end interest paid for the loan included the penalty.Hope that helps. Navywings 17:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

How soon can a mortgage be refinanced?
You can refinance your mortgage anytime you want to. There is no minimum time before you can refinance. That being said, you do need to be aware of any "prepayment penalties" or clauses. Some loans ( especially sub prime ) will have a prepayment penalty. If you refinance your existing loan before that pre payment period is over then you have to pay the prepayment penalty. These penalties can be as much as six months worth of interest. Check your original note to see if you have this penalty. If you do have a PPP then you need to weight the financial benefits of refinancing against the penalty. There are some cases where such a transaction still makes sense.

It would depend on whether the savings gained by "retiring" the loan outweighed the disadvantages posed by the pre-payment penalty. Most loans have pre-payment penalties which expire after a short period of time. On mortgage loans, the typical pre-payment penalty runs 1, 3, or 5 years.

While a down payment is part of the purchase process, prepayment relates to loan repayment terms.
