RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Credit score exists only to sell you more credit score.

Credit history is what lenders are interested in.

I don't know much about it, but they definitely checked my credit score when I bought my last car.

They probably pulled your credit which also allows them to see a history.

Even if you're paying in cash for a car, an automotive dealership will want to run your credit. They make quite a bit of money from lending money to others. Really the banks give car dealers kickbacks for the loans they deliver to the bank for sold cars.

In essence, if you buy a car in cash, you're denying the car dealer a chance to make a lot of money off the sale. They don't like that. They will do their best to try to sell you on a loan for your car even if you don't want it. That's why they ran your credit.
