The higher the score, the cheaper your loan will be. 700+ will get you the cheapest prime rates advertised in the paper. Around 520-620 will get you subprime rates meaning increased fees and or a higher interest rate. Sometimes subprime points and "junk" fees can be as much as 4 points depending on the lender. Below 520 and even the subprime lenders start looking away for you.
