Anyone know the 1st name and spelling of Rabbi Krausz who has a chabura in the front right of Bais Aharon? Address? I'm trying to reach him but don't have enough info to find him on smartlist.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

If someone has to be at JFK at 8:25AM on a weekday, what time should they leave Lakewood (factoring in traffic, airport parking, etc.)?
Thanks.

Anyone compare First Atlantic Credit Union (or similar name) from Toms River to Penfed for used car loan rates?
Penfed site shows 3.49% for 60 months, 3.61% for 72 months, while First Atlantic shows 2.24%, and 2.84% respectively. They both say that's their lowest rate available. Could it still vary based on my credit worthiness?

Did you check NFCU? They had the lowest when I shopped around a year ago. Did not need it in the end.

Thanks but they want 3.49 for 72 months.

Anyone have experience with First Atlantic? Will they need my "income" info if I have a high credit score (780ish)? Do they allow co-signing?

I used FAFCU. They were very nice and I had a co-signer. Don't remember if they needed income.

They allow co-signing, and when I used them they just ran my credit report and asked for an income number but didn't require any paystubs or tax returns.
