A funny thing happened on the way to my new car

Anonymous · ‎08-08-2015

Yesterday (on my birthday) I bought a new car and used all I have learned here. I went in with all my FICO scores and the interest rate I wanted. We had a good discussion and I was offered a slightly higher rate and all these extras. After thinking about it, I said no to all the extras and lo and behold he made a counter offer and lowered my interest rate to 1.9, which I wanted in the first place. Then he offered me all those pricey extras for practically nothing! Thanks to all my FICO friends! I am one happy camper! Oh, and my new car is an Acura RDX fully loaded! Yay! Happy Birthday to me!

Congrats on your new card and well done on getting the interest rate you deserve. You should post pictures of your new car. Happy belated birthday!

A belated Happy Birthday and a current Congrats on the new car!

You are a model citizen of the myFico Community and you represented us well!

I need you to go with me and be my 'buyers agent' next time.

Acura RDX is a great car, nice choice!

One year, I was looking at used sports cars and I just happened to find and buy a Corvette with an auto trans and power steering that my DW liked to drive very much.

It happened to be a couple days before Valentine's Day.

I mentioned it at work, and someone said, Oh Boy, what are you going to do next year to top this one?

They were right, I couldnt top it.
