We did get the car for Mike this weekend, friday night actually. It's a 1991, cream colored, Nissan 300ZX with tan interior and T-tops. It looks terrific and he is really enjoying driving it.
Buying the car was a rather strange experience. We paid for it with cash. On the way to look at it, we stopped by the bank to pick up the money. Mike told the cashier what we were doing and how much we wanted to withdraw ($6300). He wasn't very quiet about it either. "YES, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO GIVE ME SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM MY ACCOUNT," his voice seemed to boom. It made me a little nervous, as there were some seedy looking characters eyeing us. "Great," I thought "We'll get jumped in the parking lot." But we didn't. How weird though and slightly unsettling to have an envelope with that much cash in hand! We did walk briskly to the car once we had it counted out for us on the counter twice.
Cash worked well with the used car dealership. We were able to get the car for $1000 less than asking price. It's strange too to have CA plates now (at least on his). We haven't gotten around to changing my car over or our licenses. Hoping not to get arrested.
