I want to buy a plane by year-end but they're not making it easy.

The situation isn't exactly the same, but not many car dealers give

customers who don't yet have their driver's license.

For another reason. Up until recently here the main reason they wanted
to
see your drivers license is so they could grab the SSN off it so they
could
go run a quick credit check on you.

Most states (??) don't use the SSN on the drivers license (optional for some
states).

My wife was surprised they let me go drive a $45,000 vehicle without even
the salesman along (and I pointed out that they had already determined
that
I was good for it). We even drove the thing off the lot with temporary
tags and a "promise" to come back and give them a check for the down
payment.

What did you drive into the dealership in? Beater or newer comparable model.

On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz dealers won't give any test
drives...period. I showed up to look at an E500 in my wife's one year old
Infiniti Q-45 and they still wanted me to buy it without driving it.
