AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zonetoPersonal Finance@lemmy.ml•Apparently having good credit isn’t enough, unless you’ve already pledged loyalty to the debt system.English2·4 days agoThis isn’t an every case, but maybe just don’t even bring it up until the end. Claim you want to get all the numbers settled, even if they’re discussing payments and stuff, just keep an eye on the actual price of the vehicle (+ taxes, title, doc fees).
Then at the end you could just say, great, and say you’ll be paying in cash. They might be miffed, that’s their problem.
Some places still make you fill out a credit app for liability purposes, but I’m not entirely sure that’s even necessary in actuality.
Now, that said, sometimes dealerships get kickbacks based on financing deals they acquire - so it may bake into the price they’re offering. If that’s the case we often just told people straight up and then gave them instructions on how to make principal-only payments. So you could feasibly do this to snag a great deal and then just pay it off immediately.
Another benefit for the latter is if it’s 0% or close to, you could do it over 6-12 months that way if something insane happens you’d still have that cash just in case and your total interest outlay with the accelerated payments would be pretty negligible.
I had to go pee at like noon, didn’t end up going until 4pm because I went down a coding rabbit hole.
My wife came in at 6pm and asked if I had eaten yet today…I said I didn’t know.
This isn’t healthy. I do not condone it.

I have terrible general credit, but my car financing credit is nearly perfect. Because they typically use specific models.

Cash offers are actually less profitable, well, assuming the buyer is also negotiating down to the wire on margins.

This is why on the rare occasion I even use these services, I get their contact info and just pay them directly in the future.
Look, sometimes I need a driver. Maybe I drank too much at a bar, maybe I’m coming back from the airport, I don’t know. But I’ll gladly pay extra to an individual knowing that they don’t have to pay a corporation.
