Re: Do I need to get a car loan to raise my FICO score to excellent?

I really don't like the idea of having a car loan just for a score, but I do understand where you are going with this. I've seen plenty of scores without an installment loan in the 800+ range. An installment doesn't really give you that much boost. You could consider getting the loan, paying it for at least 6 months, and then doing a PIF.
