Even though the economy is in a major slump, if you have the money, it's also a great time to cash in on some awesome deals. According to Blogging Stocks, Tom Libby with J.D. Power and Associates indicated that November automobile sales in the United States will probably fall sharply due to the sagging economy. There's no doubt that people aren't spending money right now. But as a major optimist, something good could possibly come out of this.
Why not take advantage of this trying time and go out and get that eco-friendly hybrid that you've had your eye on for a while? According to MSN Money, folks with untarnished credit will find good rates, eager lenders, and some amazing deals as increasingly desperate car manufacturers try to revive sagging sales.
So how can you make sure you get the best possible deal?
- Polish your credit scores

The fastest way to boost your credit score is to pay down credit card balances, pay bills on time, and dispute any serious errors to get them off your credit reports.
