I put a deposit down to buy a MBP '05 TL 2 weeks ago in Appleton, WI. I "live" an hour + away just across the WI/MI border. I had financing arranged from our credit union in VA (where I really live, I'm in WI for work). So the dealer won't let me take the car until they have a check from the dealer, though I'm putting down a third.
Took a week of getting the loan finalized (what happened to the loan being arranged right), faxing, FedExing forms back to them for them to mail the check this past Monday. Today, dealer still has no check.
All I have are the following manuals I took from the car last weekend, the updated nav disc I bought this week and 5 mos of XM radio I got for $20.

 

Oh, I can't post pix yet...another

 

Just drive there and get the shit done. Rent a car or something because a car is a big investment and it shouldn't be rushed or done incorrectly.

 

Whachoo talking bout Willis?
I'm just ranting really. I got a 3rd party company to inspect it, test drove every Saturday, got stuff lined up for her already. Just impatiently waiting, I'll admit, on the check to get there.

 

I'd be annoyed if it took that long lol but good luck hope everything goes well. In the meantime read up on some important threads and DIYs in the 3G garage.

 

totally agree

 

Just curious because Im looking for an 05 also...how many miles and what are you paying if you dont mind me asking?

 

$14.5K, w/ Nav, 86K miles

 

how you get XM for $20??

 

I called, told them I was buying a car w/ XM and asked for a 3 mo trial. I kinda knew I wasn't going to get it, but what does it hurt to ask? She said no but found that deal. Afterwards, it will be at it's regular rate of $36-38/3 mos.

 

$77/yr sounds like a better deal than $20 + 3($36).
