What kind on interest rate on auto loan with bad credit?

I have poor credit, due to some severe health problems which caused me to miss work and incur medical expenses 6 years ago (which were then sent to collections). At this point, I have everything shown as paid or settled. I finally qualified for my first credit card in 6 years. It's high interest, with a $39 annual fee, but it's unsecured at least.

My problem is that I need a car now. My current car has severe electrical issues that even the dealership can't fix. It only has 156k miles on it, so I thought I could continue saving until the bad accounts dropped off my credit report. I was hoping to use the credit card to restore credit. However, I need a car NOW. I have $3,000 to put down on a car, and a credit score of 629. What kind of interest rate can I get through a Honda dealership? What kind of interest rate through my credit union? How do I rate shop without taking a severe hit to my credit score?

Interested in becoming a sales manager. Have been selling cars for 4.5 years, I'm 25 years old. Need advice?

Currently selling cars at a Honda store (new and used) for 4.5 years. I'm 25 years old and been wanting to obtain a manager's position for quite some time now. My concern is if I'm still too young. I noticed people don't become managers until their late 20's or 30's+. I want to take on more responsibilities as well as provide motivation for sales people and take on the role of inventory management and deal with customers.

An opportunity has risen for a General Sales Manager position at our local furniture store "The Brick", of course I have no experience with furniture besides being a consumer, all of my experience is within the auto industry. I worked at Canadian Tire Auto Parts in high school, a local GM dealer in Parts for 2 years, and then of course sales to present.

I just need advice as to what I may need to brush up on in order to confidently apply for this position.

Mazda rx8 V.S. Honda s2000?

Ok so I'm almost 17 and of course I want a fast car. My parents will help me buy any car I want… Almost… The fastest they will let me get is like a boss mustang or a corvette. Of course I don't have money for those. And my dad has a Lexus IS350C and of course I want to race him. Anyway… I like the looks of the s2000 better but which is faster? And is getting the s2000 worth giving up the back seats?

Ex texted me for the first time since we broke up, does it seem like he wants to get back together?

We're in college and used to live together with some friends in a duplex house. I moved out 2 months ago and he is still there. We had a really nasty breakup the same time I moved because he thought I cheated. I would never and he had no proof. The last contact we had was 2 months ago when I texted him that he was full of **** and he didn't reply.

Today out of the blue he texted me that I got a letter from Honda at our old house. I'm wondering if he feels bad and wants to reconcile or if he's just being courteous. There's a 99.9% chance the letter is junkmail, and I had to have been getting other mail there the past 2 months but he is just NOW texting me.

Did I get a good deal on my car loan?

I was approved for a 17K loan towards the purchase of a Honda 2012. The rate is %3.76 for 60 months.

This is my first loan, I had a good credit score, before applying for the loan through the car dealer. My score was 760 before the loan, now my credit score plummeted to 706.

Was that the best rate I could get based on my profile? College graduate, Never took a loan before, Minor credit card debts, Payments always on time.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Added (1). The car has 41K miles on the odometer. Looks and feels almost new.
