So, 2 days later, Im at lunch with friends and get a call. Guy asks when Im going to bring the check in.

Me: "Uhhh...I guess around...day 40? The finance guy said up to 45 days, so...".
Him: "Im the finance guy".
Me: "OK, well YOU said 45 days then"
Him: "I never tell anyone 45 days...I said 4 TO 5 days"
Me: "............damn it"

So I go home and apply for the loan online (Ive been a PenFed member for over 5 years now), and Im approved immediately. Drive to the local branch 2 miles from my house, pick up the check (making sure THEY push payments off 2 months since the dealership fudged up there), and drop it off 10 minutes later .

30 minutes from when I applied for the loan, to when I dropped the check off at the dealership.
