you say you are paying 5.7% interest rate so you need a loan at a lower rate than this
does the finance allow payment by CC? some do some, don't
if they do allow this, then you can't do better than 0%0 -

Just ask the lender for an early settlement figure.
I wouldnt really worry about how much interest you will be saving seeing as you will be paying interest if you take another loan out, unless its less than 5% or if you do the 0% credit card tranfers you will be paying the 2-3% admin fee every time you switch, and if you do not clear the balance without another 0% interest deal the interest will be 3 or 4 times what your paying now.
I assume you wont to refinance the remaining balance and pay over more time, so it will cost you more in the end.
Good lucks though0
