COPY-AND-PASTE MESSAGE
Hello, I'm interested in [year, make, model and VIN or stock number] at [location address]. Is your sales department open on Sunday [date], and what are the hours? Please confirm that this exact car will be on site and available for my appointment at [time].

Can I view and test-drive it then? If I decide to buy, can you complete the purchase and delivery that day, or would any financing approval, payment verification, paperwork or temporary registration need to wait? What documents should I bring?

Please send an itemized out-the-door price for registration in [state and ZIP], including taxes and fees, with optional products listed separately. I'd also like to arrange an independent inspection before buying. Who should I ask for when I arrive?
