Who here has purchased a car with cash?

What kind of negotiating power if any did it provide you?

Any tips for someone walking into a dealership ready to pay in full on the spot?

Negotiate the deal before telling them it’s cash

Tried it and the price went up. Financed for 6 months and then paid it off

I have. You'll probably get a better deal if you negotiate the price with financing.

There is no advantage, the dealer would rather finance, they make more money

New car? Or used? Either way, I think it's best to not disclose how you're going

Many dealers make $ on financing and will give you a better deal if you finance

I asked and they said there isn't any extra they can do. Same with a 10k trailer

The price on the truck was already lower than anything I had seen.

Not much... other than the fact that the salesman manager knew I was a sincere
