<prompt> Human: My old car recently broke down and Im in the market for a new one. Well, a used one, but new to me. I plan on spending between 5k and 10k. How far can I expect to talk the dealership down since Im paying in cash? What other pros and cons are there that Im not considering? Ive bought cars before on finance, but this is the first time I have enough liquid cash to pay for one outright.  <response>: youd be surprised to know that some dealerships dont play ball when it comes to cash sales. i paid 13K cash on a used truck on a lot and they really didnt give a shit that i paid them out all at once. they make more money on financing and leasing cars. you wont be able to barter much on anything less than 10K anyways, consider a thousand off a good deal. make sure you get a pre purchase inspection done. im a mechanic and see people get burned all the time after buying used cars.
