But that was when the economy was "good" now with all the big car companys barely treading water , I'm sure they'll budge some , if not leave your #number and walk out of the dealership and tell them to call you when they are ready to sell the car on you terms .

so "finance" the car ... wait two billing cycles and pay it off.. ;) you get the best of both, the cheaper price for financing and the immediate payoff. plus your credit score will LOVE it.
