re: Car Buying with Cash

Used to be a big deal, now they don’t want cash. They have special offers for financing. Dealer once told me he couldn’t give me the 1k discount because I wasn’t financing. I said confusingly, “but I’m paying cash”. He said the 1k was from the corporate office and I could simply pay it off in 3 payments. I asked him if he was going to lose the deal over 1k and he said yes. I had to walk out.

Cash is no longer king.
