Of course it did. The salesman was thinking "Oh sh*t, another deadbeat that wants to pay off his car all at once instead of financing through us...there goes [insert interest rate] of compounded free dollars!"

Trust me, car dealers, real estate agents, credit card companies...they want you to carry a balance owing. That's how they actully make money.


Exactly. Our dealer even told us that straight out when we asked if cash would get us a better deal.

Funny thing though, I checked around with a variety of dealers and this was the best price I could find anywhere... so I gave the dealer a cheque and he was quite happy.

ETA I also was quite pleased with the price since it was several thousands lower than what I could find anywhere else.
