Replying to: manueltrans1 (Oct 29, 2005 9:16 pm) I wouldn't want to do it if it is "under the table." I would want the manager to also know. Even if no one else knows God still does. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." It would come back to haunt me if I did something wrong. But looking at it from a "tip" standpoint may "work." I will ask around and see. The reason that I asked on this board first is I don't want any paranoid person in my area thinking that I am "pulling a fast one." I would like to pay under invoice or around there for a red coupe in Jan. I made a huge mistake months back and told salesmen I was going to pay cash. This time I will ask to get the numbers in writing before I tell them. They want to sell you financing so if you mention cash you don't get the best deal. This is my experience thus far. But who knows?

"Paying cash makes no difference to a dealer. We get paid the same either way. " The salesperson may get paid the same but isn't it true, the dealership makes more when the vehicle is financed by purchasing the loan and reselling it to the individual??? If it was a non-issue why would the salesperson ask "How are you paying for this.", within the first ten minutes they speak with you?

If one has been following the GM saga, much has been written about the fact that GM Credit GMAC is by far one of the more profitable aspects of GM. When I bought my 2004, from one of the salesman, no less than the organizations finance director made a full court press to get me to consider financing. |

I took possession of my new Civic two days ago. Driving it off the showroom floor while all available salespersons applauded was a very proud experience. In past vehicle purchases, I always experienced at least a little bit of post-purchase regret, but not on this purchase. I'm very happy with everything....the car, the deal, the dealership. One thing to note, the audio system is incredible. The sound wraps around you and you'll experience the detailed highs as well as the deep bass....very nice! FYI, I got the Galaxy Grey color and also got the trunk-lid spoiler, all-season floor mats, trunk tray, and splashguards. I got plenty of "head-turners" when driving it home. Upon purchase, it had only 13 miles, but now in two days it has nearly 300! No regrets...good luck to all who are considering the Civic!
