Easiest car deal I ever had was a couple of years ago when I bought my Wife a new Honda CRV. We knew what we wanted, color and all, but they were scarce. I found one at Fayetteville, AR. which is a four hour drive, one way. I had them price it on line and it was very competitive, so I told them that I would take it and when could I pick it up. We set a date and the wife and I drove up and looked at the car which was just what we wanted. They had the paperwork all ready and only asked if I wanted the extended warranty, and I told them only if it was free. The salesman laughed and said that it was not and did I want to finance. I said "No, I want to write a check". I wrote them a personal check and my wife got in the car and I got in the other car and we drove away. miles
