How Soon?

How soon before an auto loan begins to add big points to your Fico score?

Is this your only Installment account?

Do you have a mortgage?

IMHO-
An Installment account will balance you "types of Credit"
Giving a boost.

Never- never be late-

Going to get hit by INQ, then the new account, and possibly avg account age.

It will really start helping after 6 months and helping more when the balance gets under 50%.
