Bought a car from dealer via text message

This is actually the second time I have done this. The first time was the i3, I test drove the car, the salesman made the mistake of texting me the next day. I offered a close to insulting offer out the door price. He declined, I said fine.

24 hours later he accepted. I did all the paperwork via email. Walked in signed my name about 20 times and left in 15 minutes.

This time I purchased sight unseen, based off a Car Guru ad. A 2005 Mini Cooper S with 40K miles on it. A Florida car I am the 3rd owner. No haggle price at a boutique car lot that handles mostly collectible cars and unique cars.

I was trying to get away Monday to see it, I am just too busy but did not want this low mile car to get away. I told him to work up the numbers and wire transferred the sales price to him after docusigning the paperwork.

I am leaving work early Friday to drive 20 miles to go get it. Everything is signed this time, the offered to deliver the car, we are going to drive down to Jupiter get it and go out to dinner.
