Congrats.  That's awesome.  What did you get?  Got my eye on a CPO RX 350.  If they pull EQ my auto score will be close to 800.


My wife's last two cars have been an RX330 and an RX400h, respectively. Bought both of them used, and they both were/are awesome cars. They really hold their value.


That's the one I really wanted, but they're older and no CPO's around anymore.  If I could find a very low miles 1-owner I'd buy it regardless.  Never seen the 400 though. They are all really nice cars.  You did good.Smiley Happy

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

I just re-financed both of my cars so I thought I'd share!  I did both for 60 months but plan on paying more each month to shorten the overall term.

APPROVING BANK: Honda Financial Services
BUREAU PULLED: I don't know
CREDIT SCORE: I don't know
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE: Texas
NEW/USED: New
YEAR OF VEHICLE: 2012
MAKE: Honda 
MODEL: CR-V
MILEAGE: 16
RETAIL/LEASE: Retail
AMOUNT OF LOAN: ~$9600 (Actual price of vehicle was a little of $27K)
TERM CONTRACTED: 36 months
APR/LEASE RATE: 5.9% (I'm very shocked!)
MONTHLY PAYMENT: $279
ANNUAL INCOME: $47K
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: This was my first car financed ever and I was very surprised at how smooth the process was. (I was in the dealership less than 5 hours) Overall, my credit is pretty good minus a baddie that recently appeared (boo) and balances on my cards. I traded in a 2010 Chevy Tahoe that I owned outright and they gave me $21,500 towards the price of my new car so I couldn't resist. I have never had a car payment before but I am planning on paying this one off early. The gas mileage is impressive and the car rides great. I look forward to the next few years enjoying my smaller, more gas efficient vehicle!

Thanks Guydiver - I got the HS250h. I wanted a hybrid and wanted a smaller car than my 09 Mazda 6, the IS was too small, the ES was too big. The ES Hybrid is too new so didn't want to spend over $50K for that car. I lucked out and found my gem of a car. I LOVE it. It only had 12,100 miles on it so it is practically a new car. It has all the bells and whistles that one could have gotten on the car minus the ML sound system.

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Shocked I got approved at such a low interest rate. Hell, shocked I got approved at all, with just my trade in, as I now have 2 vehicle loans, and a mortgage. I was hesitant to apply, as I closed on my house in May, and my credit score took a hit when I bit the bullet to go out and apply for about 5-6 credit cards and financed some furniture, but all in all, can't beat that interest rate. I read an article where TD Bank CEO was saying in September that the future of his company depended on the subprime market. Good news for those of us trying to rebuild credit history that have the means to do so.

How did this happen?  After I read this I decided to stop by my local TD Bank (I have checking, savings, and an unsecured loan 3 years old with them) and talked with one of their account service reps.  Both the reps in the branch at the time told me they require around a 680, and they had even heard it was trending towards 700 recently.  They didn't do the under writing in house, they basically submitted the app and that was it.  Kind of disheartening.  Did you do anything differently?  TD has been an awesome bank so far, so i was excited for the chance to possibly furter the relationship.  I was considering even making them my primary checking account (Currently my checking account only serves as a direct deposit, auto bill pay account)

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Just discharged from Chapter 7 BK in July 2012.  I can't believe it.  The approval came back right away, I either could take top-tier leasing or qualified for 0.9% for 60 months.  At the time this was going for Tiers I thru III.  I was told the minimum for Tier III was 650 so I just made it in.  I got $1500 in rebates from TFS.  Still can't believe it was approved barely three months out of bankruptcy for such a good rate.  I am not a previous Toyota Buyer either, had also included two auto loans in my BK so I am not sure how or why they were lenient with me, but I didn't ask!.  Previously had a good history with Honda Financial.  I applied with my CU first thinking it would not be possible  just to have back up - they came in at 10.74% for up to 72 months, needless to say I did not take it.  I already have relationships with Honda and Nissan Finance, figured I would add Toyota so that I could move into Lexus which is also under Toyota Financial when this lease is up.
