Happy Monday All!!  I had been researching buying a new car for months and finally went and did it.  This weekend I bought a 2007 Acura TL from Ron Tonkin Acura and love it.  Black on Black leather - awesome.  I was debating on how much of it I wanted to finance when they offered me 1.9% for 36 months.  Now, not everyone will qualify for that rate, but I knew my credit was good so I went for it.  Within 15 minutes I was signing the paper work for my first new car!!  The point I am making is that focusing on keeping your credit spotless saves not only time in those situations, but saves you a lot of money in interest.  This goes for purchasing a home also.  Unfortunately I can’t offer 1.9% on a home loan!  J
