This may seem a silly question, but I have never encountered this before. I am out of town, shopping for used cars. If I find one, can I buy it quickly so I can drive it home. Anyone have advice?

Here is the story. We left yesterday (Thanksgiving) for Denver in our trusty 92 Accord that has 235k miles. After about 50 miles, it threw a rod. Got a tow back, and headed out in the iX.

This is a problem because I was planning on taking the SC out of commission next week for a CIS->EFI conversion, but we need two working cars. Since we are in a big city, decided to look for used cars and if we find what we like, drive it home. We've located a couple of 98 M3s to inspect. They are both at dealers.

Any advice on how to actually purchase a car out of town on short notice? Could I put in on a CC until I return home and work with my bank? Other thoughts?
