There is no such thing as a cash price at a car dealership

Paying cash does nothing for you and does nothing for the dealership. We prefer you finance. We make more money when you finance. If anything the price goes up. Hold on to that cash unless your credit sucks then put it down. If you go to Rouses for milk and you ask Mr Rouse for a cash price it will be the same no matter which form of payment you use.There is no such thing as a cash price

Just say we want you to pay interest and even more for the car.

Just like a house as long as you’re financing you don’t own it, the bank does.

Some people like to pay $45K for a $38K car or $600K for a $320K house; some people don’t.

So let’s say you lock me into a car that cost $25,000. You get me an interest rate of 3% for financing. Then I say oh never mind I’ve got cash and I without $25,000 in cash. Seems like I just saved myself some money right?

If I can afford to pay cash for a new vehicle, cash price isn't really a consideration. Best overall price based on my research would just be the concern.

Why don't you cut the usury BS and take my cash so I don't have to sit in your shitty office smelling your nasty cigarette reeking hair and clothes for 3 hours while the guy who can't get a job at a real bank finds places to sneak fees in because my credit is too good for you to make any money off me. And take your damn dealer markings off my shite, you want me to advertise you can pay me.

I pay cash at dealerships just to piss y’all off. It’s cheap entertainment for me.

How do you view folks who leverage one dealership against the other via email, regarding price?

Car salesmen are scum. Every part of the process is an attempt to rip the buyer off. Can’t wait til Ford shuts down independent dealerships for charging over MSRP and goes Tesla model

Eh, car dealerships I dealt with didn't care how I paid. The finance guy gets a little pissy when you pull out a cashiers check made out with the OTD number you got before you arrived and before they could sell you a bunch of crap but the salesman/sales managers don't care. I have had a sales manager tell finance to NOT try to sell me any crap and they got mad when they did anyway. Whatever, I hope the dealerships die a quick death with direct sales anyhow.

If you have good credit and can get a great rate through a credit union or whatever, I’ve never seen the point of a private individual(business is different) paying $30,000+ cash for a car unless you have so much money you could buy 10 of them.

Keep the cash, drive the car. I’d rather have $35k in the bank to do whatever I want with rather than tie all of that up in a vehicle.

I’m not a business major, so maybe I’m missing something, but that’s how I’ve always looked at it.
