I did it the other way in 2010 when a $ was a $ and your economy was fucking dying.
Dealer in Allentown, advertises for $20K, i say $16K, he says "do you have the money" ... i say cash cheque baby, he says come get it asshole. Car had 15,000 miles, was $45K new in Canada
Still DD the car today, has 75,000 miles and cost of ownership excluding gas and insurance is around $225 per month, which is insane.
