You simply don't understand how modern franchise dealers operate. Cash discounts are no longer a thing. Due to incentives they prefer to finance through the manufacturer's captive lender. The F&I guy is already sitting there in his office with nothing else to do and as long as you have a decent credit score the approval process takes literally a few minutes.

Sure the dealer will take cash if that's how you want to pay but you're not getting any extra discount.

Not my experience. I have always gotten the best deals paying cash, and threatening to walk away.

The key is to not get emotionally invested in owning the car before you actually own the car. A lot of people can't do that.
