i know this is totally JV, but i've never gotten an auto loan from a bank before. i usually just paid most in cash up front, (only ever bought used) and borrowed the rest from my parents, then paid them back asap. I think i may be able to cash a mutual fund and pay for the car outright, then sell my car and put the money right back in.

If not, how should I go about applying for the loan if its a private party sale? I'm really unfamiliar with this process, any helpful links would be HUGE! (if not, i'll just call my bank when they open up on monday)

thanks for the help guys!!
matt
