i asked a dealer today and he was like its highly unlikely they wil accept cash esp in that amount just cause they need a bankers check. But cash is a legal form of payment they can`t refuse can they ?

Technically no since cash is legal tender but at the same time, they could add on a "counting fee" since we're not talking about a few hundred bucks, we're talking about thousands.

Dealers can take a personal check for that amount without a problem They will check credit before they take it. If you pay in actual cash they just have to report it to the IRS because its a $10k or over transaction. Nothing is done by the cstomer but they will report you to the IRS.

Check to a dealer is cash, they are the same thing....Go to the dealer, find the sales manger(not a salesman as they are just gonna ask the manager) tell him you want the bottem line price CASH OUT THE DOOR on this car...thats what i did when i got my last truck and he dropped 5k off the sticker price right there...

The more expensive the vehicle the bigger the discount they have. Domestic car have a bigger %of markup and Dealer holdback that can be passed on to a customer if they choose to. There is no $5k markup on a lancer even if its a $23k one.

You'd have better luck if you offered something different like:
I buy this car cash for 20k, and I give you (the sales guy) 1k.

I don't see why people in slower cars hate the SRT-4, sure it's not pretty and sure it has an econobox interior but so does the evo and so does the STI. if you want a fast FWD car for cheap, the SRT-4 is the way to go.

IMO FWD is the key term that garners all the hatred...

I wonder if the calibur SRTs will be any decent. They ride higher than neon SRTs and are porkers, but they "gots mo powa"

The SRT seems very CHEAP. That is my only knock. I love the platform itself.

Yeah, but we drive FWD Lancers. So you gotta admit, the SRT-4 is a step up...

yeah but i see it like this. the lancer is a slim girl with a small but nicely proportioned chest. the SRT is a regular girl with a huge, disproportional chest.

some people only see the chest and go crazy (srt owners), but some are more sensible and see past the obvious and see that the whole package is more important than one great aspect of a not so good package.

(oYo) and cars
