Worried that your less-than-perfect credit is going to keep you from buying the car you want?

"They've loosened credit standards to the point that anyone can get a car," said Art Spinella, vice president of CNW Marketing Research in Bandon, Ore. "It's banks. It's finance companies. It's everybody."
