*****WARNING****DO NOT HAVE A CAR DEALERSHIP RUN YOUR CREDIT, GET PREAPPROVED AT YOUR BANK OR CREDIT UNION.
Having a car dealership run your credit can result in as much as a 50 point drop to your credit score. THEY ARE NOT SHOPPING AROUND FOR THE BEST DEAL FOR YOU, THEY ARE SHOPPING AROUND FOR THE BEST DEAL FOR THEMSELVES. They will ask several times to run it, do not do it. Getting a preapproval will also put you in the driver's seat by knowing what you can afford before walking into the dealership,
