SO in his case the limit needed to be high enough to buy what he wanted (paid off upon returning home)
My father has done this at least twice.... He's bought both of his last two cars by charging them completely onto a credit card, only to go home and pay it off a couple days later. One thing to be careful of though, some dealerships now add a 2-3% surcharge if you charge more than like... $3k onto credit cards.
