I had no finanacing nor trade in. I wrote a check. But, there was hella paperwork especially for the dealer. Besides the govt stuff, they had to prepare the dealer options prices for extended warranty, pre-paid maintenance program, coatings, gps carjack service, and vin glass etching. I only took the coatings.

This transaction was about as simple as it can get and it still took an hour and three-quarters.
