Multiple credit inquiries from car purchases, all shown as individual pulls. Does this affect me? I purchased a truck back in may and the dealer had ran my credit through multiple banks to get me a better rate. A few days prior I had also applied with a credit union but didn’t go with them as the rate was too high. After doing lots of research I found out that all those inquiries would be considered only one hard pull to the bureaus, but on …

I also put in an order for a Hybrid 2023 Ford Maverick Lariat a year ago, and i…

Car dealer offered me $1000 off if I financed instead of paying cash — is there any reason to say no? I had originally planned to buy this car with cash, but during the process of negotiating the price, the dealer offered to remove the remaining $1000 I was asking for if I financed instead of paying for the car outright in cash. During discussions, the offered me a shitty interest rate (12%) apparently because I have a short credit history. I mo…

Any downsides to leaving a car loan open after paying most of the loan off? Basically the title. I bought a car mostly in cash last year at a 5% interest rate.
