Well when I went to drop the car off the sales people said the guy that was to handle the payment was not present. Suspecting a scam I said in that case I will bring the car back when he is. They magically located him. He tried the we will mail you a cheque approach.

I said that was not the agreement and the car is going back to the east coast if you do not produce the money. By this point I was back in the car and sitting in the drivers seat.

Some of these car dealers are real scum and this was a large dealer. . The dealers owner was getting the car moved cheap enough but obviously not as cheap as he felt it could be.
What a scumbag! Good that you figured out how to handle it.
