My lender needs to know a purchas price and wants dealership to fax a buyers order with the price before they will cut a check. Is that normal? I am having to do all negotiations over the phone with dealer.

Inaugural TOTM
When I went to get the loan for my motorcycle I had a sheet that should the cost of the bike. The loan officer then cut me a check. At the top of the check in bold letters it had "NOT TO EXCEED" and the amount of the purchase price. There was also a box where I could write in the final price I paid. I could write in any amount up to and including the not to exceed amount. That number I wrote in there determined the final amount of my loan. Your bank may do things the same way, but they do need to know a purchase price.

By the way, are you considering buying an extended warrantee for this used truck from the dealer? A lot of dealers push this, and could be a good deal if your not mechanically inclined. Be warned though that these warrantees are negotiable too. Don't take their first price on it; barter down on it as well.
