<div><em><strong>Maya</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Hi,</p>
<p>I am about to buy a 2007 Corolla LE. I want to check the best interest rate for an auto loan with bank of America (where I have an account), capital one and local credit union before hearing the dealership rates. </p>
<p>I have pretty good credit score. (Experian : 740). No other loan and debts. But less credit history. Only 1.1/2 years, and my monthly income is around 1800. So if I apply online for Bank of america and Capital one auto loan to check how the rates are, will that affect my credit score when I go to dealer after 2-3 days?<br/><br/><a href=''>Rodney</a></div>

<p>I&#8217;ve worked at my job about 10 months, rented for about 1 year 2 months, and make about 1500 a month gross. My credit has been awful since June when I stopped paying on about 8 different credit cards. So it&#8217;s definately rated at BAD. </p>
<p>Any feedback would be great! Thanks in advance!<br/><br/><a href=''>Lauren</a></div>

<div><em><strong>ceazon22</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>i went to an Acura dealer today to look at an Eclipse i want for $4995. I have bad credit because of 2 credit cards, 1 bounced check with Wal-mart and some unjust charges(to me) from Key bank. But I have a paid off auto loan through Chase. Before i went on I talked to the dealer on the phone and he said they dealt with banks who financed good credit and bad credit applicants. I went in filled out the credit app. and he Said he&#8217;ll contact me on Monday with an answer( I guess because the banks aren&#8217;t open on the weekend?) but I&#8217;ve done the math with the price of the eclipse, my trade-in, and what I make. And I would easily be able to afford payments on a 5- year loan. The thing is I&#8217;m still in school and only work part-time and make around $9000 per month. Will they look at that as too low? And what do you think my interest rate would end up at? more than 15%?  thanks for the answers<br />
I meant I make $900 per month not $9000, sorry.<br />
tmladenka, STFU prick, I&#8217;m halfway trough my college degree and upon graduation I&#8217;ll be making more than your sorry ass will ever dream of. And I guess I have to wait till Monday because there was only about 45 minutes until they closed. BTW I just looked up my credit score and it is 548. It&#8217;s kind of bs, because my paid off car loan is by far more in numbers than any of my debts.<br />
and 1 more thing, read the details added people I MAKE $900 A MONTH NOT 9000! THAT&#8217;s WHAT WE CALL A TYPO <img src='http://auto-loan-rates.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
also, I should&#8217;ve mentioned that after doing the math ie. trade in, interest, income, My payments would be under $100 monthly on a 5 year loan.<br/><br/><a href=''>Douglas</a></div>
