Hi; I'm new to the boards and hope that someone can give me some good advice. I recently began trying to repair my credit. I had defaulted on my student loans and am now in a rehabilitation program (which I believe is helping my score). I am in desperate need for a new car and am stuck in the one that I'm currently in due to negative equity $3,500 +/-. When I went to the dealership in February I was shocked to find that my score was 461. Still I need a new car. So, I went to a dealership 2 weeks ago and my credit was 481. Better. Well, they made an offer that I did not accept. I thought I might find a better deal. Turns out, I didn't so I called them saying that I wanted to accept the offer. Now they're telling me that due to the fact that I had my credit run at other dealerships, the will not extend the offer. ??? I have never heard of that!! Nothing has changed in 2 weeks. That is part of shopping for a car. I have 2 credit cards that I am planning to pay down. How long should I way to try to get financed again? Any advice? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dean12
