New car purchase caused score to crash

OK I traded in a vehicle and bought a new one and my score has dropped 65 points, yes my payment went up but is this normal?  Especially since two months before I did that I paid off all my CC debt.

It will depend on what other accounts are reporting as well. Other important information is how long have they been open? How many accounts have you opened within the last year? I can tell you this, that you have a new account with a high balance. Another important factor, was there a loan with a balance on the vehicle that you traded in? If so then the credit report has not been updated and may take a month or so. I just wanted to mention that because that does happen.

i would have to say it is somewhat normal, because i had an auto loan for over a year, and i refinanced it with a different bank, and my score tanked over 50 points...DISASPPOINTED

Thanks for your response guys, my score just went back up 62 points, I guess that was the deal it hadn't shown my pay off on the trade in yet Smiley Happy  So all is right in my credit world again  LOL
