refi the house first get past that and then work on the car...

car shopping and getting several pulls makes you look desperate...

on the other hand, if you are shopping for a mortgage, and they do more than one pull in a short period of time, it is assumed to be all the same transaction and the multiple pulls dont hurt you.

do the house first, then the car.

Matman is right, it's always best to shop around and get some good offers before you actually allow anyone to pull your credit.

You can usually get a copy of your report off annualcreditreport.com and provide that if someone wants to do a hard inquiry on your report - they will use it to estimate their offer. Then when you can narrow it down to one or two lenders you can actually let them do a hard inquiry. The hit will only be a dozen points and your credit score will go back up after a few months.
