Oh man.
That's all I can say.
I called Carmax in San Antonio, talked to a sales rep and explained the situation, this is like close to 5pm. He said, "Get here, I'll have the paperworkready, all you have to do is sign it."
Not wanting to pass up this opportunity I called a friend, told him I'll pay him $200 cash to take me San Antone right now, and he shows up 10 mins. later. We get there after dealing with Houston traffic at about 10 til 10. Gregory, the salesman, has the car out front, washed and cleaned and a full tank of gas. I look it over, pop the hood, do a walk around, start the engine. I mean the leather is near mint. There are no scuff marks on the door threshold, the paint looks really good. "Ok" I said, "Let's do it."
We do the paperwork, he hands me the keys and says, "Thanks." I look at him and tell him thanks for his patience and for helping above and beyond what the Carmax down the road was doing. That 3 hour drive home was awesome. That car has so much more improvements on it compared to my 96 it isn't even close. Nary a squeak, a rattle, or any foreign noise was heard the whole time back. The car was rock solid. I am glad I waited, I am glad the other Carmax dicked me around. All is well in my universe now. As for mods, not looking past a KnN right now. I am a believer in KISS, Keep It Stock Stupid. But that's just me, I may have a new belief system come next week!
