Can I lower the interest rate on a car loan after I've signed the papers?

I just signed the paperwork for a car loan, but I just saw that a bank in my city was advertising a lower rate. Can I get a lower interest rate? How do I do it?

Unfortunately, since you’ve already signed the papers, you can’t negotiate the rate on your
car loan
, but you still have another option.
The best way to take advantage of a lower interest rate from another lender is to refinance your car. No limit exists on how long you have to wait on refinancing a vehicle nor how many times you can refinance your vehicle. Just make sure you don’t have any penalties, like a prepayment penalty.
If you can’t get a new rate, you can save money in other ways. Use the
