Even though I have already given the down payment check to the dealership and signed all of the papers to purchase the truck, I can still refinance with a bank/credit union? That down payment money is no longer in my account.

Assuming you paid an appropriate price for the vehicle, that money is in the vehicle as equity and should give a credit union plenty of collateral to loan you the balance owed. Assuming you can verify income.

But the equity is in the deal. You'll need to get a payoff quote from whoever the lien holder is. That is the amount you will borrow on the new loan. That should be under 50% of the book value of the truck. That is what the new bank/credit union is going to loan off of.

How old are you?
How do you have $17,000 to put down and 0 credit?
Did you not stop and think, 18% that seems a bit high?

You're refinancing the $8500 loan on an item that's "worth" $25,000.

If you're in BR, call any of the "big" credit unions: Neighbors, Campus Federal, Dow, Eagle, etc. this afternoon and ask them about refinancing an auto loan with them.

Tell them you have an $8500 loan on a vehicle that's worth $25,000 and you make $X/year. They'll be able to approve you in minutes.
