I once had a guy call me about a car I was selling who sounded interested but didn't ask for any details over the phone. He wanted to come see it so we set up a meeting at my bank where rides up on a bicycle, pulls a wad of cash for full asking price out of his sock, hands it over and says, "I'll take it".

This loon never looked at anything...never did a walk-around, never sat in the car, didn't open the hood, didn't start it, didn't drive the car or ask a single question about it. After the bank verified that his cash was genuine, we completed the paper work and he drove off with his bike hanging out of the trunk

I know this comment's in green, but sadly, it's this sort of stuff that's actually important to a non-enthusiast car buyer...and what the monthly payment will be if financing is involved.
