I've got an interesting related story.

Less than a week ago, I bought my (first) Dodge Ram. Before that, I was shopping loans with a couple banks.

My own bank, offered me a loan with a 72 month term at 12.9%. I don't have stellar credit, so this didn't phase me much. I was actually willing to use that loan, until I made a couple more calls.

I called another big bank, and they offered me a 60-month loan at 4.7%. They said I had better-than-average credit.

As I was closing the deal at the Dodge dealership, I asked the finance-guy if he could beat the 4.7% loan. I think the finance guy's computer was broken, because he ran a quick credit check on me and offered a 60-month loan at 3.5%.

I check my credit report about... once a month or more. Trust me, if I can get a 3.5% interest rate on $15,000 loan -- there is hope for us all.

Oh... Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a few weeks.
