I first off want to say, I take my car in on a regular basis for an oil change. I absolutely love the service department. Always very pleasant and never pushy.
On one particular day I was there for over an hour, when a car salesman approached me. He stated there was a car exactly like mine but newer. I agreed to take a look. He next stated, want to take a look at some numbers. . I agreed. . BUT.. I made it VERY clear he was only going to check my credit ONCE!
Next day, e-mail after e-mail came through stating Larry Miller checked score. I immediately contacted them saying I am NOT interested in the car. Also, that car was on line for OVER $3000 LESS! Come on now. . I may be a woman, but I am capable of finding the right amount on line.
Now... I have FOUR hard inquiries and a credit score loss of -13 points..
LIES...
