car financing/ loans do not do soft inquiries.
You will be effected by a 5-10 point drop in your score for 12 months, and the inquiry will show for 24 months.

Well did you at least get approved for financing? And at what terms
no i was denied, not pre approved. even if i was pre approved, i would not have applied for financing. but, in a way misleadingly, i did. don't understand why one would apply for credit, before applying for the same credit again. that seems kind of stupid, and a waste of a hard inquiry to me. oh, well. now i know.

You weren't applying for getting preapproved to get approved for a loan. You were applying to be preapproved prior to shopping for a car. The pre is for shopping, the approval is from when you apply.
i know this. but regardless i still took the hit to my credit file. i thought this would be a soft inquiry. oh well. now i know better.
Scoooooooooootttttttttt
You already know the speech, so I will save it for now but you gotta stop testing online pre-approvals, applications, or anything that says "Submit".
One more and we'll all come over and take the computer away from ya! We just wanna keep Barclays and others off your back! Then we can finally prove that they've eased up on that sudden account closure stuff.
Oh yeah, you're our test subject in case you didn't know.

lol... actually i am over it now. i have accepted my brand new hard inquiry friend to my hot smokin profile. who knows, maybe barclays will take a look at it and say to themselves, "NICE TASTE IN CARS" you sooo sexy! we're going to give you an increase you smokin stud.
really, i was having a fit and suggesting to myself i should be afraid of my little new friend. i will look great in november when all of my recent inquiries clear up. i will app for venture and perhaps a chevy aveo at that time.
for now i WILL WAIT patiently and GROW gracefully.
