What!? You won't Believe this
I guess the universe doesn't want me to buy a fit. I just quoted myself for New auto financing from Light Stream and got Declined. Now I finally was able to see the reason and its because of Debt to income ratio, and debt owed on existing account.
I have a credit score of 835 and almost no debt (~$600) on credit card this month. Felt like they were scamming me to have me submit my information with no intention of approving. I know I'm in the upper 1 percent in terms of fiscal responsibility.

Not sure but I'm still at 835. It was quite shocking that I got turned down for such a small loan with 5k down. Also they didn't have the best rate either. Pen Fed is significantly lower if anyone is in the market for a auto loan.

Lol I invest in the market so I rather get a loan than to liquidate my stock holdings. The rates are decent < 3%APR. I can usually get > 6% return safely. so that's why I want the loan.

I had to look up what lightstream was so forgive my ignorance. What's the benefit of using them versus a traditional credit union? Are you on a fixed income? If so that can explain them possibly declining.
When I bought my Fit, I had a score of around 830 and I got a loan for the GK. I could have paid "cash" but why bother when the interest rate at the credit union on the car was 1.49% At that rate, it's almost like borrowing money for free so I understand why you'd prefer a loan versus liquidation assets.

At the time when I bought my Fit their rates were the lowest. I had enough in savings to buy it outright but for such a small rate ill keep my money and borrow theirs.

Now, banks can and will use your debt and compare to your income. So if you got 90% credit card utilization and you are $30K in debt but only make $30K a year, then bye-bye to your loan.
