Damn, tragic story. Hopefully you get the car.

Before, I dump cash on a New Challenger. :7 I would make sure they had it on the lot and get everything said in writting sign dated and delivered.

I've worked at a dealership, way back. My ex. wanted a car asap of the as is lot. I told repeatedly No don't get the first thing you for the amount, because she get one in better condition at same or less. I got off at 4pm, we ended up waiting till closing 9pm to get the car. Ended up paying 200 more due to being an as is, some bs my boss mentioned.
