One of the things I learned is, if you finance, you get a better deal, and then simply pay off the loan right away.

If you pay cash, they won’t give you as much of a break on price. They make more money on Financing, than on the car itself. So just go along, and negotiate the best price.

Some loans have a pre-payment penalty clause. Has that been your experience? I guess it would behoove the purchaser to read all of the fine print.
