that's another thing about buying cars, does walking into a dealership with a large amount of cash really help in bargaining a lower price? I used to think it did, and was in a position when I bought my 05 to pay a little over half in cash. Sales guy I worked with poo poo'd it, said it made no difference to the dealership if I was ready to pay 100% cash. Was he lying? Platinm, can you shed some light on that?
He wasn't screwing with you. The only thing cash can do is to confirm you are a buyer. They can assume that the deal will happen because even if you have a bad beacon $15K can make it happen - to a certain extent.
