Buying a car is a big decision and there’s a lot that goes into it beyond just which make and model you want to purchase. A new car is a huge financial investment and your car buying credit, whether good or bad, will come into play. Before you fall in love with a particular car, you should know your credit report and score. Getting these facts before you commit to your dream vehicle will save you a lot of heartache and money in the end.

But credit reports can be unwieldy and confusing documents. Having an understanding of how credit works and what you’re looking at will make parsing the complexity of your credit report and score less daunting.

First, understand that credit comes from not one source but three credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. It takes all three of these agencies to develop a credit score. Each agency looks at the same factors however. They will all look for your current and past addresses, the amount and type of debt you carry, lenders’s names, debt payment history, how often credit report inquiries have been made on you, and your overall history of liens and bankruptcies.

All of these factors will make up your credit report and influence your score. Your credit score will fall between 300 and 850, with 300 being a bad credit score and 850 being an excellent score. This number is what a lender will look at when judging your creditworthiness and whether they should lend you money for a vehicle or other purchase.

While you can get your credit report for free, you will need to pay to see your credit score more than once. You can ask each of the three credit bureaus for your credit score once a year. If you need to see your report more than three times in a year, however, you will have to pay for it. You can find your credit score through websites such as LendingTree. Membership on such sites can get you access to your credit score. These websites will also sometimes include a free trial membership that allows you to view your credit score for free for a set period of time.

Once you’ve got your report and score, it’s time to check them. Mistakes can happen, but you will need to be vigilant to catch them. Well before applying for a loan or buying your new car, you should check your report and score to ensure they are accurate. Similar names or Social Security numbers may occasionally cause mistakes on credit scores. Such a mistake could hurt you in the end if it is not caught before you apply for a loan however.

Luckily, correcting mistakes is simple. All it takes is a letter to the credit bureau pointing out what information is inaccurate and why. The bureau will have to investigate your claim and should be able to clear up the mistake within 30 days. Make sure you get written confirmation from the bureau that the mistake has been fixed.

Car buying credit scores, etc., can seem like an overwhelming and complicated aspect of car buying process, but if you take the time to gather the information you need, even this step can be simple and painless. Don’t leave your credit to chance though. Ensuring on your own that your score is accurate and high will save you time and frustration in the long run.

The 1996 Chevy Impala is a full-size sedan produced by Chevrolet which is a part of the General Motors corporation. The vehicle was first manufactured in 1957 and has seen several reincarnations since then. It has also been re-classed several times since its inception as well, having been a high end and budget minded vehicle at different points in its extensive history. Other cars that the ’96 impala competes with include the Ford Taurus, Honda Accord and the Buick Lacrosse. Body styling for this model year is actually very reminiscent of older models, which gives it a distinct appearance compared with other modern cars.

1996 marks the seventh generation of these cars and it had been extensively redesigned in the categories of body styling and drive trains. Body styling was offered in one standard form which was a 4 door sedan. Windshields were made sloping back sharply to contrast dramatically with the hood and side panel proportions. Rear side windows were accentuated with a stationary window above the panel directly behind the rear door. Trunk space was also increased substantially in comparison with previous model years.

Like most other features for the 1996 Chevy Impala SS there was really only one standard set of features for all trim packages. The standard engine was a 5.7 liter LT-1 V8 (350 cubic inches) capable of 260 horsepower. Like other LT-1 engines produced by General Motors it was designed to be a premium engine. That means that these engines were manufactured independently by engineers to meet very strict standards and were only made from the best materials and high end parts. This aim perfection is what allowed Chevrolet to get away with only offering one engine.

The dimensions of the vehicle include a wheelbase of 115.9 inches, a body length of 214.1 in, a width of 77 in and a height of 54.7 inches. These dimensions made the Impala a fairly decent sized car. The standard weight of an average vehicle was 4,221 pounds making it fairly heavy as well. All of these factors combined to make the vehicle handle well, gripping the road with its weight, while remaining nimble going through turns at highway speeds.

Another set of unique features is that the 1996 Chevy Impala SS came with a 3.08 gear, a limited slip rear differential as standard equipment, and an overall suspension system lowered by an entire inch. The camshaft in these vehicles was designed for low end torque instead of speed through horsepower like the Camaro had been. Cast iron cylinder heads were also used instead of the aluminum ones used on other LT-1 engines. The standard transmission was a 4 speed automatic which had not been reinforced from previous model years to handle the additional torque created by this model. That in turn led to many transmission failures at around 100,000 miles. Older models still on the road usually have a different transmission than the original, with a 6 speed automatic usually being installed.

There were also special sport tuned packages available, which many government agencies that bought these vehicles took advantage of. Consumers could also use these upgrades which gave the vehicle a sturdier suspension and enhanced driveshaft. Gas mileage was also fairly comparable to most competitors, with the exception of the Ford Taurus which received about 1-3 mpg better for both highway and city driving.
