Lol. I found a place that had it at 4am, Thursday. If there was a really good deal I'd reverse search the number and be ready to go there by the time I called the guy at 8am.
It's funny cause if the car was sold on Thursday, you'd get calls til the next week when the new paper came out. And even then, people would still call 2 weeks later asking if you still had it - to the point where you'd have to change your VM, saying the car was sold.
Things are definitely a lot easier now.
