So I asked - how tall are you?

6'2" (ok, not a problem, so am I)

How much do you way?

"just a bit under 300lbs, maybe 285 or so"

So I would not take his deposit until he found a local car and had a 'test sit'....which he did, and he [sadly] did not fit.

My point - most of the time buying a car without driving it is cool, unless there are 'extenuating' circumstances!!

Even if he somehow fit himself in the car, it would handle dangerously with 300 lbs. of shifting meat on one side. The whole car only weighs around 2k.
