cash means nothing to a dealer....any way you buy a car, the dealer gets cash.

Uh... no.
What you think they will hide the cash from the tax man or something?
Isn't it true that they actually get a cut back if they finance it through their banks? I think there's more money in non cash deals than cash deals.

Smaller volume Dealers are adding market adjustments to this car from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 OVER MSRP and selling them. What do you think they would say to an offer that is $5,000.00 under?

What no way! Cash means nothing. You might be lucky to find a dealer willing to sell $1,000-1,500 under MSRP. Maybe.

Exactly!!..There's a dealer here in Canada that put a $12,000 mark up and sold it the first day.

I just put this out there as that's what I have saved for a C7 at this point.

There are a few dealers already doing $3k off. You are needing ~$5k-6k off. Give it a few months.

Yep, they would rather you finance. As Unreal said, give it a few months.

Hope the new owner plans on keeping them. They are already 20k upside down on each.

I always wondered about questions like this. It isn't like if you finance the car the dealer is waiting each month for the payment. They get their cash immediately whether from the buyer or the bank.

Cash means diddly squat, either bank pays dealer or the customer does.
Most dealers are capped on rate % mark ups, so its not like they make a ton of money on financing per transaction, it does add up though.
So it is always a good idea to find out what the std financing rates are for various terms on a particular vehicle before stepping foot into the dealer.
