How much debt do you have?

Income?

What do you drive now? How many miles?

The only thing the credit score will do IMO is get you a great rate, if you finance.

Leverage with your bank or leverage with the dealer?

Don't fret over dealer financing

Penfed car loans can be had at 1.74% last I checked

Sometimes it pays to finance with the dealer for added incentives and then refinance to a credit union once the incentive is gained

If you know you are going to buy walk into the dealership pre approved, and as someone else mentioned do not talk financing with them until you have settled on a price. 780 will get you good rate also. Good Luck.
