Yeah I bought during the covid rush. Every vehicle I wanted was sold the next day after it listed. Finally I just found one I wanted, brought a certified check to the dealership for the exact asking price, and paid them on the spot It was the only way I could get anything at all. Even had one dealership refuse my check ready to hand over because "some other guy was already on the way to look at it."
Dealership literally gave no fucks, if you didn't buy it someone else would hours later. If you brought the full amount in cash you'd probably barely get a 'meh' out of a salesman. They could literally sleep all day, wait for a bundle of cash on their lap and wake up at the end of the day with big commission, and still make out like a bandit.
- yardie 4y agoThey don't even want the cash anymore. I spotted a SUV at a good discount. Called in to verify the price, "yes, thats the price." Went to the dealership and hello that price is only available with dealer financing. The car was $1000 more if you came with check in hand. So I played their game, I financed it to keep the discount. Then I payed the balance a week later. My credit score dropped 60 points because of it! LOL.

- yardie 4y agoYes, when you pay off a car loan the bank closes the account and your available credit line goes down as well. So your drop in credit age and credit line makes your credit score to go down.
