MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Could not believe I got that great of APR% with my credit score. I has pre approvals from Capital one and Roadloans for around 8.5%. I could have left with no money down too, but I knew going in I was going to put $$ down to lower the monthly payments. I ended up puting $4000 down and getting $3700 on my trade (which was a steal for the shape it was in

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: My BF applied online at Acura for the current lease specials (through 10/31/12). Didn't get immediate approval but received an email about an hour later that he was approved for 33k. Brought the approval certificate into the dealer and it was a pretty easy transaction. Zero drive off (meaninig zero $$$ up front) and payments of $363. The same model without the bells and whistles would have been $300 month. Also, could have received a lower payment for money up front.

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: My wife and I just had our first child and lugging a carseat in and out of our 2 door Honda Civics was a HUGE hassle (we both have the same type of car). We had been looking at purchasing a small Crossover/SUV but kept putting it off because of our credit score and I recently finished a rehab process on my SL's but wanted to wait until it was actually reflected on my credit reports. Long story short - I called CU and they denied me. Found a family member co-signer and we were going to go purchased next weekend. Decided to go test drive ahead of time, fellin love the the CR-V and decided to have them run my credit since the inquiry wouldn't go against me. They got me in to the car I wanted, payments $5 below my max and a shockingly low APR of 4.49%. I'm still baffled by that....

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Approved 8/23/12 but did not find the car I wanted until 9/24/12. Although the car was previously used, NFCU considered it a new car sale since it was a 2011 with less than 7000 miles.
