I do not think so as many people car shop at different places. Our dealer is giving 0% to returning customers at the moment, and that is a tough one to beat! (VW)

It's my understanding that if multiple vendors make a credit inquiry for the same service they all get glumped into one "request" as it's reasonable to expect consumers to shop around for financing. And, responsible consumers (which is what FICO is all about, right) especially do this.

Of course it's FICO and credit reporting we're talking about, so it undoubtedly is also influenced by the moon cycle, the presence of chicken in your freezer, the dutch kroner, farm-animal flu's, and :rolleyes:.

When I was there, all the rail employees were on strike, so it was not an option. :rolleyes:

Yes and yes. I too gave all three a fair shot. MSNBC and CNN bothered me a level that transcends their obvious bias...their product just plain sucks. FNC sucks a little less and save for Kyra Phillips at CNN, FNC has the edge in being easy on the eyes.

The tough part for me to swallow is that I've noticed over the last 10 years or so that the Left (in all respects, not just news...and by "the Left", I don't mean average people who lean that way...the media Left) has seemed to take the tack of slamming a particular book or author or whatever just because it or they are anathema to their beliefs, and they don't bother to build an argument against the points stated in whatever it is that incenses them. Liberal anti-gun groups are famous for this: they'll issue a press release condemning a piece of legislation or a book or someone else's comments, and then when some brave member of society who does not march to that drummer calls that organization and asks if they read the book or watched the speech, etc. - voila...a call that goes unreturned.

CM, I think you are in the wrong state. I'm sure Texas will welcome you with open arms. I am sure that Gov. Perry will make you his personal concierge.;)

Wrong. May television sweeps are here. Started this past Thursday. It started earlier this year to avoid dealing w/ Memorial Day. Let the MASS HYSTERIA begin.:rolleyes:

I never thought I'd see the day when I said FNC was the voice of reason on this. (I'm sure they will do something by 9PM to change my mind back)

What brand/model car are you looking for?

We're looking at a Civic or Insight. We need an "around town" car and both of those fit the bill.
