    Default What do you consider a "good" credit score?

    In this age of everyone having so many credit cards and overwelming debt what is considered a "good credit score" these days? What credit score qualifies you for the best home loan rates? Best car rates? What's an average score? Just curious....

    I read a while back that a credit score of 700 and up is considered excellent and will allow you to take advantage of the 0% APR financing offers on cars and low interest rates for mortgages. Hope this helps.

    I believe it goes up to 850. Anything 700 and up I agree is pretty good. I posted this fico score estimator for anyone interested
