Wow. I was looking at brand new ss and gt before buying my gt500 this summer. Both ford and GM gave considerable cash discounts over financing. They even gave the cash purchase price on a 4yr financing term with 5k down. This is in Alberta.
Crazy !!! 50 years old countless cars, trucks and still cant get one up on the dealership. The cash buyer thing really blows my mind. Keep ya posted. Goin into the belly of the beast tomorrow : ) thnx again all.

Sound advise here. Might just be me but I tend to enjoy a play car more when I have no payment. I tell myself If it sits, it sits. No big deal. With a payment I convince myself if it sits its a waste. I have no legitimate reasoning behind this but Id be lying if I said its the craziest thoughts in my head : ) I did find out the car has been in an accident and this place bought it at auction. Investigating further.One thought - take the financing - and if the rate is good (I’ve seen some rates in the high 2s to low 3s) take your cash and buy an S&P index fund. You’ll probably do way better if this market is any indication of the near future, and you will make a few bucks on the spread.

Left this one behind. Dealer would not agree to have the car fully checked out. No PPI no leak down no body shop . Could not understand why I was asking so many questions or why they mattered. Rather walk than buy a headache. Thank you all for your input and help.
