When to start applying for loan?

I haven't had success in finding an answer to this: What is the time frame to start applying for auto loans to have all the inquiries count as one? Is it within a week? Two weeks? or 30 days? I'm looking to buy at the end of December, so looking for some insight. Thanks!

I think for EX its 2 weeks, TU and EQ its 30 days.

Your probably better off just going to the dealer.

Thanks -- are you recommending going straight to the dealer because they offer so many end of year deals that you can't get at a bank?

I would arrange financing beforehand as a backup.
