ok you went to the other dealer that said rosen pulled your credit too many times. that other dealer probabley saw that you were agravated with rosen after he or she told you that there were many inquieries. that second dealer now has you eating out of their hands. have you ever heard of bad cop good cop, well they were playing good cop. YOU PROBABLY HAD A BETTER DEAL AT ROSEN AND DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT! some of the best deals never happen due to arogance in part of the customer! 14 inquiries in a month time frame through an auto dealer or morgage company only count as one inquiry. so you were fooled to belive that the inquiries are what brought your score down! how do i know this? well i am a secondary finance manager at a car dealer(not rosen). i see this on a daily basis. you go to one dealer and they work their behinds off to get you a loan and you stick it to them by buying a vehicle at another dealer. rosen did all the work to get you approved and the wisconsin dealer just called the lenders to see which one approved you. the wisconsin dealer did not get a favor to get you financing all he or she did was use the bank that rosen had you financed through!

Whether your credit was run 1 time or 1000 times in one day doesn't make any difference. If they were made within a 14 day period, and they were for a mortgage or an auto payment, it only counts as one inquiry. As a matter of fact, they typically stop counting at 7. And inquiries really don't have as much impact as most people think. Payment history and balance to available credit make up about 65-70% of the score. You may have lost 3-5 points for the inquiries. In the future, I suggest that you find out your credit score in advance of making a major purchase such as a car or house. This way, you can determine exactly what you qualify for and secure the loan. Dealers ALWAYS tell customers that another dealer ruined their credit and that they are the only ones that can approve them. This is just another sleazy dealer trick. Did you tell the other dealer that Rosen ran your credit?
