Good post, but just to clarify, cash is NOT an amazing bargaining tool at all. Quite the opposite. Dealers make good money setting up financing and even if you are paying cash for the vehicle, keep this to yourself until the price is finalized. If you walk into a dealer waving cash it will absolutely hurt your deal.
