What’s the best deal you’ve gotten on cars or parts

cant remember what i paid for it now, but i walked into a dealership one day, and looked at a cougar
then i looked at a car...which was also a cougar

so i asked the first cougar how much the second cougar was
she said they had just taking it in on trade and she didnt know yet

so i said, well shoot me a price, i want it
and she shot me a price, but said i couldnt take it untill her mechanic looked it over

so he looked it over, and sure enough, the clutch is gone
so they replaced the clutch, and sold the car to me for the same number she had told me

i drove it for 2 years and then totalled it (another great story i dont have time for, but lets just say that was before you could go 3 wide down 16th street)
after my deductible, the insurance cut me a check for $1500 MORE then what i paid for the car, 2 years earlier
