So, my car is on the way from the factory still, and may not make it here before the end of the month. I hope it will, but have been told that it might not.

I am using a Captial One blank check to fund my loan, and the offer I have via them is a good one, and the check expires on the 24th of this month, so I have asked if I can come down on the 24th, car there or not, and make the payment official (only have deposit down right now) so that I can def take advantage of this loan without having to apply and send in docs again..

If I do this (or even if I didn't), can I just claim that I bought the car this month when I do taxes?

Thanks,
