ok i got 2 cars (2000 cadillac sts and 2001 lumina) both paid off, pre approved for a 190k house in wisc. i want to buy a 05 escalade (15k) but keep my 2 other cars. is it better to wait to take a loan out on the car after i get my mortgage. my payment would be about 275 on the car but i just paid off my other car which was 250 so it would cancel out anyway, does anyone know or should i just ask my mortgage lender what to do.
