The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

In 1994, my parents (after checking first) paid for a new GMC pickup by check (no financing). The finance manager freaked out, accused them of grand theft, and ripped up the check. Never seen anyone go as white as the salesman did (who ran to his sales manager). They ended up with truck after writing another check and a lot of groveling and apologies from other staff.

The finance manager was none too happy with us either since we declined all the add ons and the rebates that were only available if you were financing

I guess we could have financed it, gotten the rebates and paid it off but we just didn’t want to fool with anything

Me too, that's one reason I keep my cars so long, I just hate the process of buying.

Ugh about the dealer "detail", interesting about the color. I'm still amazed that dealers will take personal checks for such a high-value item. Last time we went through that I don't remember any credit checking even.

So update on the paint

The sun came out and despite being very dirty it is definitely metallic

And the paint is thrashed

Just awful

That sucks Chilly, You shouldn't have to go through that on a New car purchase, Hopefully you can do your magic and make it pop.

I’ll give it a thorough wash and see what it looks like overall

There are fingernail scratches above one door handle and some other things I won’t be sure of until it’s clean

Scratches on a brand new car, and in an obvious place, that really p1sses me off. And that they'd hand it over that way, I guess they're lucky Tacomas are in such high demand.

They seriously don't have to care
