When you don't move or make an offer or put down an agreed to written deposit on something to try to procure it quickly, you can get scooped by another buyer in a matter of minutes or hours.

I saw the perfect priced 2006 E320 CDI for me on-line with an accompanying stellar Carfax linked in on-line on a Saturday morning three months ago.

I have an 'Alert' set-up on-line, so it was a fresh alert. The mega-dealer Landers of Arkansas, was 300 miles from me in Little Rock, AR. I thought about it for an hour, and called the dealership at mid-afternoon. I never got connected/called back that afternoon.

I mulled over driving to the dealership to be there Mon. first thing. I didn't, but did get connected to a sales rep. by late morning Mon. by phone. He found that the car that was being loaded on a transport for New Jersey that very day, and that money had been called in from NJ Saturday. It went for asking - which was several thousand below market pricing. It had super low miles on it - less than 20K, which is what I am looking for.
