Do you honestly think that you can show up with a nice Z3 and this deal will go down without another hitch? Seriously? Because here's what will happen - you'll show up with a mint Z3 that his mom won't want because she has her eye on one owned by a neighbor. The neighbor's willing to sell, if you can get her pothead son into Dartmouth. But it's cool, because you know a tutor who could totally get him in, he's a miracle worker, but the guy's hiding from his bookie because he bet the farm the Cubs would make the World Series this year (which no one would believe but the guy's from Chicago, so what you gonna do?). Now the bookie just happens to be the brother-in-law of your ex-wife and she might get him to hold off breaking the tutor's legs until the kid passes his SATs, but she doesn't like lying to her sister and her sister HATES you so if she admits it's a favor for you the deal's off. But she'll consider it if you're willing to put a new roof on your old mother-in-law's house. You ask why she needs a new roof, because you know the roof on her place is good. Technically, yeah, she says, but she'll need a new one when you add another floor. Which, btw, will mean changing the zoning in the neighborhood. And there's your problem, because the zoning commisioner is 356 guy's ex-boyfriend who got dumped after rehab when the guy discovered that without large amounts of drugs in his system, he's straight, so ever since the commisioner's been bitter and lonely and the only way to get him to lighten up and give your ex-MIL a waiver is you be his new boyfriend.

Now, are you willing to blow a low-level city official to get this freaking car? Then walk the EFF AWAY. Geeze.
