I'm in the process of trying to get preapproval for a car loan. The fact that my precious has over 100,000 miles on it is sort of disconcertng. Also, I know that cars operate under the principle of "Once shit starts breaking it all goes downhill."
I've basically been given the smackdown by certain banks who shall remain nameless because they all use Equifax to screen your application.
I happen to know that my Equifax credit report has erroneously submitted negative information on it. I've been crying and begging the creditor who put it there AND Equifax to take it off, but of course Equifax will take the side of the creditor even if the consumer has proof otherwise (that will stand up in court).
I just got preliminary approval from a bank that uses Experian instead. Well, well. Looks like I'm going test driving.

Posted by: MsThing at October 2, 2005 11:05 AMI'm thinking ahead to the future, and I want something where I can put a carseat, stoller, and all that crap in without having the parking problems of an S.U.V.
I'm looking at either a Subaru Outback or maybe I'll stick to Honda and get one of their wagons.
Posted by: Tiffany at October 2, 2005 11:32 AMI had an Accord wagon for years. That car would go and go and go. I LOOOOVVVEEEEDDD my Honda.
BTW, my in-laws had a Subaru Outback. Those are very NICE cars. But they had to shell out NINETY BUCKS for one spark plug. One. (Of course, that could have been the bastards at the shop, but I'm not sure.)
Happy shopping and test-driving! :)
