Honda Financing

[atl41]

I filled out a pre-approval application online yesterday through a dealerships website and they called me and told me I was approved for their promo financing, 1.9/2.9/3.9 etc but it does not look like this dealer is going to make a great offer based on our conversation yesterday.

Does anyone have any experience with applying for Honda like this and do you know if you are able to use that pre-approval at any Honda dealer or only through the one whose site I applied through.

I figured Honda Finance was Honda Finance but I could be wrong.  I just want to know if I will be looking at another inquiry on this.

Thanks

As long as your auto financing inquiries are within two weeks of the first inquiry, they will only count the one inquiry.  They'll list the others, but only count them as one.

I would take in the info you have.  They should match it or beat it if they want your business.  No idea if the approval you got was dealer-specific or Honda-specific.  And keep in mind that you still just have a pre-approval.  I'm not convinced that's the same as an approval.
