I am moving from Northeast Ohio to Western Washington State, but I need to purchase a new vehicle. I cannot decide whether i would be better off purchasing before i move ( since i have a job here that i have had for a while, which will definately help with financing). Or, if i should purchase a vehicle after i get there so that i dont have to worry about trying to get it from one side of the country to the other! I am afraid if i wait till i move, i will have trouble financing with new job and address. HELP!

I would think that you should have no problem after you move. Your credit history will not change, only your address will. If still not sure, go shopping for a new car now and ask a sales rep if the move / job change will affect your purchase later after you move. Or go to your bank and ask the bank's finance officer the same question. Maybe you can pre-qualify for the loan now.
Good Luck

If you're doing the same type of work, you're probably ok
I'd check to see which state has the lowest sales tax, and also see if WA has a big registration fee, as you'd have to transfer the vehicle into that state, and no sense paying for it twice. Apparently your bank doesn't have offices in WA also? That would help.

do you have a job lined up where your moving?
id wait...its not easy to get across country. i wouldnt put any miles on a new vehicle. you could always rent a uhaul and tow it across country..but thats not eay either and its expensive
id advise to wait..only if you do have some sort of job lined up..if not dont buy at all..cuz you have to beable to pay for the vehicle once your out there..and you never know how long it will take to get a job.
if you were to buy now..bring it out there..and not have a job..you could risk getting it repossessed or something of that nature.

you really should wait until you move so you dont mess up your debt to income ratio on your loan if you are buying a house to move into. If your gonna rent it don't really matter except for the miles your gonna put on the car driving to Washington state.
