Tell him to call if he changes his mind and walk out. That cheque has all your info on it and the dealer can even call your bank and verify funds. They will call within the hour usually to accept the deal. It's worked for me.
Very nice. I'll have to remember that one next time I'm in the market for a new vehicle.

I waited 3 minutes said no you'll make ten times that in extras and that I have another job I have to go to so call me if you can swing it, he crossed it out put original price back asked me to wait a second, came out with manager and said if I don't sell you it for this I know your gonna buy elsewhere then said CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!
shook hands told them to start paper work and I'd be back at three, they made a copy of my drivers license and shook hands again and started to walk out and I then walked back and said TO THE MANAGER, just to make sure when I get back I'm gonna see my price on that contract! he said it will.
so thanks for the help from the dudes in here proud owner of a 2009 super glide custom

Congrats!!

Just got this crap feeling there gonna play the games which I'm not in the mood to play. anyway I told them I'd be in tomorrow at 10.30 am. and hopefully leaving with a new scoot, but the minute I hear well we need etc I'm walking
If you guys would put your locations in your profile, local guys would know where you are from and maybe be able to suggest good dealers.
Just sayin....
