I do not, but I should. I bought a car a little over a year ago and they told me it was a little over 800 at that time. It is a good idea to keep a watch on it even for the sake of knowing if somebody is trying to steal your identity.
I have been through lending training at work (I am not a loan officer, so I have forgotten a lot of what I learned because I never use it) but I remember a few things.
1. Credit Karma is pretty much a waste of time.
2. Something about a lot of your credit score is based on how much you have available vs how much you are using.
3. Good credit does NOT mean you will get the loan.
4. Soft pulls will not hurt your score, hard pulls will (but not very much).
