Took what seems like a long time. Could have been in it 4 days after settling on price. But my TCH dealer offered to finish payments and buy out old car. Did not cost me a thing on buyout or lose any $. Price was same as negotiated. Also after buyout offer settled, presented tch dealer with a $250 coupon which they honored. Dealership did have me come back to resign the state sales tax form they botched. Took 5 to 10 minutes time and they gave me a coupon for 5 oil and filter changes. Did not purchase an extended warranty.

Financial company of old car hung up the deal for about 8 days. Prodded as much as possible with my dealer and old car financial in every way possible. In the end was very satisfied with price settled on and with my tch dealership. Would I do it again? Yes, knowing the outcome was satisfactory for me. Gained some knowledge which will make me even more patient should the same circumstances happen in the future.

Come Monday before noon will be my new hybrid. Like techie new stuff.
