Do credit checks for auto loans show up on your credit report?

I’m curious to see what rate I would get on a car loan but wanted to make sure it doesn’t affect my credit score. I heard auto loan and mortgage credit checks don’t show up on your report (thus bringing down your score). Is this true?

Our apartment gets 3 parking passes, but there are 5 of us with cars. Roomie won’t give up his pass, what now?

Our apartment is allotted 3 parking passes for the year, but it’s a 5 bedroom place. 5 guys + 3 parking passes = potential problem. We agreed we would all share the passes by getting 3 months at a time. Each guy will get at least 6 months with a pass this way.

Now it’s time to switch and nobody will give up their pass. My other roommate without a pass doesn’t mind since he rarely uses his car anyway, but I use my car to drive to work in the evenings after college is done for the day. Having to constantly search for a street spot, and walk up to 10 or 15 minutes away to get my car is frustrating; my time is worth something! I am regularly spending between 20-45 minutes each day walking to and from my car, and looking for a spot to park.

Anyway, my name is on the lease but not on the utilities, so the best plan I could come up with is that I don’t pay utilities until I get a parking pass. It’s kind of the only leverage I have, right? Anyway, 2 questions: 1) Do you have a better idea? and 2) Can you be evicted if you are on a lease and pay your rent on time, but don’t pay your share of the utilities (Which aren’t in your name)? Help me out guys!

The only other idea I have is to sublet my room out to some terrible smelling student and just try to find someplace else to live.
I should point out that I already called for a house meeting over it, and when nobody showed up, I crashed movie night to do it. One guy (Resident douchebag, other guys are actually kind of cool otherwise) did all the talking and basically told me what I could go do with myself. I attempted the reasonable discussion and it failed miserably.

VW courtesy cars UK?

My car has its MOT and I’m getting a courtesy car for the day that it’s in. Its going to the main VW local dealership. Do I have to get any special insurance on the courtesy car or do I just pay the £15 for the car for the day - especially since I’m only 17. Also do you think the courtesy car will be any good based on any similar experiences?

Do I need to have a professional activate a keyless remote for my new used car, or can I program one myself?

I just bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant, and need to find a keyless remote and get it programmed. Is it better to go to a dealer and buy the remote and have them program it for me? Can I buy one online with programming instructions? Or should I buy one online then get the dealer to program it?

Car Transmission- Automatic or Manual Gear? Any problems with it?

I am buying a car in the UK and I wanted to know which transmission is better?

People say automatic is great to use but expensive to repair if something goes wrong. Is this true?

Any other advantages/disadvantages on having either automatic or manual transmission in car?
