MUHAHAHAHA!!! White knuckles and everything? Aw Jeez, you've got it
bad.

My 4th visit to the Stealership was interesting. I told Lawrence the
Salesguy, "Okay, I'm sold. I've driven it 4 times now, put 160 miles
on it, slept on it for 2 friggin' weeks, even drove it up and down a
few muddy/rocky mountainsides and dirtied it up good for ya, and I
sitll want to buy the thing. I'll be back next Friday to pick it up."

He blinked twice and said, "Take it home right now."

Puzzled, I said, "I didn't bring my checkbook."

He smiled and said, "Your FICO score is 815 --Chrysler Financial said
you're good for it."

It was only then that I felt what YOU must now be feeling. But in my
case, he tossed me the keys right there and then. Nice feeling when
someone offers up respect to a customer like that. I told him I would
bring the down payment back with me the next day. "No big deal JD" he
says; "Have fun!"

I returned that respect the next morning after a trip to the bank. His
eyes got big as we both counted out $18,000 dollars in cash and he
filled out the receipt. He even gave me his business card, complete
with his home phone number on the back just in case I had problems. I
told him I wouild be back in 50 years when the TJL was ready for a
replacement. We laughed, shook hands, and I was gone. Some salesguys
are pretty cool. No hassles, no bull**** and no dinking around with
the money --just the way I like doing business.

Hang in there Kate: your destiny awaits! And yes, we simply MUST have
pictures!

I could do that too, but I don't like to brag about it.

heh...
First new car (truck) I bought right out of high school. No stinkin fico.
Went to the chebby stealer on my '74 kawisaki z1 and 'negotiated' a deal
for ~12k (70's $$$)
Asked him what he'd give me in trade for the bike. He knocked 600 off
the price but only wrote it up for 100 trade in.
Deal.
I told them I didn't have much cash on me so they said no prob, mail the
down to them later.
I said cool... here's a 100 for the bike.
They helped me load the bike in the truck, and off I went...

Yeah, $18k in 20's, which ended up being about 9-inches of money. Wamu
wanted $5 bucks to cut a Cashier's check, and I don't pay others to
spend my own damn money. Personal checks are bull****. I have seen
them bounce without a reason, and I wasn't about to leave this guy
holding the bag. Money is money, period. $100's would have been
easier, but banks don't seem to keep much cash on hand these days --it
seems that most people have forgotten what the damn stuff is.

$18k is no big deal. The biggest cash deal I've ever done was $172,500
back in the 70's when I bought some investment property. That took 6
hours and 3 pots of hot coffee to count.
