    If he just had his buddy do the second part of the story instead, it would have been believable. But, it would have missed the emotional payoff that way.

      would only work if buying in full and would still require a messy title transfer and taxes when he gives the vehicle over.

      the best way would be to have the non-buyer do the first part then the person that actually wants it do the second.

      that said, it would still probably give you a big hit to your credit score unless buying outright, and if you can afford to buy the cat in cash you probably don’t need to be running two man cons for a discount in the first place.
