Borrowing Brand-new Cars

"Cheaters Always Prosper"

One morning I woke up knowing I had to drive down the coast to have lunch with a friend and pick up some paperwork. It was such a beautiful day that I absolutely had to drive a convertible. I refuse to pay money to rent a cheesy convertible, so I set my mind to borrowing a fancy one. I went to the Ford dealership and told a salesman that a relative had just left me some money and I wanted to treat myself to a convertible.

I test drove a fully-loaded Mustang GT convertible and I told the dealer everything he wanted to hear such as "I love it, I want it, It's a great price." (It was overpriced by for thousand dollars.)

I could almost see the commission dollar sign spinning in his eyes sockets. He asked me what be could do to make me drive home in the Mustang that day. My response was that I wanted to drive it around for the day and get a better feel for the car. Five minutes later, they had filled the tank and sent me on my merry way. When I returned it, I told the dealer that I had promised to look at my mother's friend's Mustang, which she had just bought and did not like. I said she was offering it to me for a great price, but that I hated the color, so I could be back in the morning to buy the one I borrowed. I never called him back.

Two days later, I had to drive down the coast again and had the same dilemma: beautiful day and no convertible. This time I went to the BMW dealership and gave the dealer the same line. He was a tougher egg to crack because he wanted proof that I had the money in the form of bank statements. This was a big hurdle. I had to have that convertible BMW, though, so I went to my bank. I deposited a $75 check into my account and entered $75,000 at the cash machine here I made my deposit. It gave me a transaction receipt that said my balance was over $75,000. I then took out some money and used the receipt to show the dealer. I also went inside the bank and told the teller I was in a rush and I had made a mistake in my deposit. She was very nice and fixed it for me immediately. I still had the receipt. I showed it to the dealer, and I was out the door with a convertible BMW for the day.
