ActionfigureJoe Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I carry $1k in cash just in case. 99% of all my transactions are via CC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes . I also live in CT where the bank is down the street. But I thought we were talking about XCR driving around buying stuff on the side of the road? Nice deflection. Wasn't deflecting at all. You were puffing your chest out about paying cash for everything. Me buying a Harley on my American Express and paying the balance is no different than what you did.

Whats different is seeing the sales Guy's face when you tell Him you dont need financing and will be doing a cash deal. Oh and $7k off asking price. Doubt they would give you that deal on American Express . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they just ate 3-5% of their profits on a transaction fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Cash is the absolute worst method for purchasing a vehicle from a dealer. Financing it through the dealer gives them more room to finagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they want you to finance thru them they make more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our GM dealer here will not go down 1 cent over asking no matter how you pay, good friend of my grand daughter (woman) who works there told me that when I bought the truck. May be different now 3 years later, I can ask her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
