<prompt> Human: Well my girlfriend doesnt have the best of credit, but still needs a car. She wants something newer, and wants to use a car to build her credit up some. Where are some places we can go to get a pre approval without affecting credit, if you can even do it without a hard inquiry. Assistant: Sounds like she needs to realign her desires with her reality.Human: Realistically she can afford what shes wanting. Credit wise, wondering what it will take to get what she wants.  <response>: If she can already afford it, her best move would be to just pay cash. Putting herself into debt wont help her credit like she thinks it will.
