Excited to buy her dream car, Molly rushes into her local Jeep dealership. Molly picks out a car, sits down at the financing desk, and hears the following:"Well, we ran your credit history. You’ve got a really thin file -- just a year’s worth of student loan payments. The deal you saw was for ‘well qualified buyers.’ The best deal we can offer you is 6.6% for 60 months. A little more bad news -- the cash allowance is also based on credit history, so you don’t qualify for $500.
