Like a few people already said. Once you buy go straight to the credit union and try and refi it for a lower rate. Also go to a few and see who gives the best rate. I could be wrong but I believe you can have a few credit unions run your credit if its for the same loan within 30 days and the inquiries wont hurt your score. Also a good basic way to increase your credit score is a secured credit card.

Honda's are hella over priced, if your gonna drop 5 figures on a car, why not get something tight? gm cars get better mpg, Asian car makers have no figured out that there lawn mower motors dont make enough power to come with any decent gearing for good gas, my 95 honda tin can gets like 3mpg more then my 4300 pound 95 chevy, sad.

Paying a shit load of money for a "economy" car, spend 1500, get a clean 90-94 mazda protege, get 40mpg, and have 20k left for a weekend car.

paying interest is always a bad idea, you are better off leasing a car or saving up for one you want to keep

financing is why dumb people stay poor

quit living beyond your means, free yourself from your debt slave shackles. youve been brainwashed to think that a car is a status symbol and a reflection on yourself; dont be a dumb ass
agreed pimp so many people put material shit first

just scooped up a new car

got a 2006 chevy impala LT
I have that car. I fucking hate it, lol.

actually it's okaaay. rides smooth, comfortable. I bought mine in '07 and had no problems while I was making payments for 4 years. as soon as I paid it off it was one problem after another... the biggest one being my tranny going out, which cost me over $2,500 to fix

haven't had any issues for about 6 months though... knock on wood

man I LOVED my caddy

89 El Dorado...all leather, drove the damn thing with one finger (caddy owners know about this)...tranny blew on it and I sold it to a gypsy for a a steal of a deal...i miss that car

the tranny repair was gonna be like 2300, everytime something went wrong with it... it was $$$$ in parts...but god damn that car was the smoothest ride i ever had...

plus i loved the stash spot in the ceiling when i guess a garage door clicker was supposed to go... i think all the ones from 88-92 had it
