....do dealers think that it’s okay to charge more for the “financing” price of a car vs. cash? Don’t they realize that (most people) know they’re already making MORE from financing than a cash sale?!??

What do you mean? Like the price of the vehicle is actually increased if you finance? Or are you referring to back office BS fees?

The lender is making more when it’s financed. Unless they are carrying their own loans or getting kickbacks from the lender they do not make more from a financed car. They get a check from the lender for the amount of the loan.

They actually quoted me a price about $1200 higher for the “finance sale” vs. “cash sale” car price. Craziness.

Bad formula on their part. Should offer one price, and just just choose to haggle less with cash buyers, if at all.

The Supreme Court just dealt with a case arising from a NY law that made it unlawful for a retailer to offer a “cash price” and a higher “credit card price” (I’m generalizing here, in case someone actually is familiar with the case). Unfortunately, the Court kicked it back to the lower court without offering a lot of guidance other that the First Amendment applies.

Dafuq??? It should be *cheaper* if anything, for exactly the reasons you describe. Never heard of this - ie, dealer/salesperson is an a-hole.

A lot of the time quoted finance offers are from the manufacturer, so you could have a choice of say 1500 customer cash OR 500 and 1.9% for 72 months or whatever.

That’s insane. I think that would be enough for me to walk out.
