When buying a new car are the days of paying cash and getting a better deal gone? I came across an interesting video on YouTube, I know its in the USA but it does have some good points about negotiating a good deal with the dealership and not mentioning that you will pay cash.
It's basically arguing that now finance rather than cash will get you a better deal with the dealership? Is it better to just get finance and pay it off super quick? Is there any good tips from new car buyers on here that worked for them? Heres the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLxVyeFmod8

Dealers aren’t interested in cash details because they get kick backs, amounting to hundreds of dollars, from finance companies for signing up buyers to buy on finance.

The video didn't open for me mate.
Dealerships are not really interested in you paying cash because there is good commission in arranging your finance for you. As well as that it's probably much easier to upsell you into a higher spec model and some genuine accessories which they can also wrap into the finance, because "for only x amount a week more you can have blah blah blah extra!" Then the Ming Moll wanders over and waves her 'products' under your nose and "Ahh, what the heck. We can wrap the paint protection, rust proofing, mats and fabric treatment in as well!" If you're paying cash they know you're there to deal hard. I pay cash (well, my own money via a bank transfer anyway) so I tend to make them work pretty hard to sell me a car. |

Isn't there a new law coming to limit cash to 10K transactions or something?

The way I deal with the salesmen is when they ask how I intend to pay or do I want finance I say "Hang on a minute. The first thing is for us to decide what price it is and whether I want to buy it at that price or not." |

I'd just like to qualify this. If you get a Bank cheque, it will be drawn on the branch account - you will be able to see the BSB and branch account number in the numbers at the bottom of the cheque - I'd be very, very surprised if that one bounced. Especially since your funds are transferred into the bank branch's account when you get the cheque printed up
If you draw a personal cheque however, that one can bounce and the dealership has no idea if you have the funds to back it - usually they will wait for those to clear, if they accept them. I've never had problems with bank cheques when buying bigger things.

Half right, you can still spend over 10K in cash but the institution you are buying from (car yard, Harvey Norman etc) or the bank you take your money out of or deposit into, are required to report it to AusTrack, The limit previously on bank deposits was 5K.

If it can be proven that you have made two transactions for the same goods or services over the $10,0000 limit, this is also illegal under the legislation. |

B.S. there is no such limit on cash transactions in Australia, you must however declare anything over $10,000 cash to Australia Border Force if leaving or entering Australia. |

At present there is no law regarding cash transactions of $10k,but the proposed law has been presented to the senate, so there is a pretty fair chance that such transactions will become illegal sooner rather than later

A bank cheque or direct deposit wouldn't be included in laws above, as they are about reducing laundering. Anything that goes into a bank account can be accountable. Questions could be asked why you've always got cash coming in from undelcared income etc. |

The salesman couldn’t care less how you pay for the car. It truly is a waste of breath trying to get a better deal “for cash”.
The business manager (who does the money side) does care because they’d rather you finance it.

Once Mrs Vekgib settled on buying a Corolla, for the price she wanted, the dealership did all they could to get her to buy it under finance. Even when she returned with $23k in 100's, the business manager was still pushing the finance route.

I bought a new car a couple of years ago. The salesman didn't care but the manager pushed the finance. When I said I had all the purchase price, he offered finance for half the price. I still paid for it all.

Related to the topic.
My mother whose an 85 year old pensioner had to pay a 4% surcharge for paying for her carpets to be cleaned by one of the leading cleaning companies because she paid in cash. I was about to go to town on them but discovered that it was clearly displayed on their website under the terms and conditions. It seems that payments in cash are becoming a thing of the past. She and everyone else in the family will never use that company again. |

and no other way exists to pay they are generally required to honour it. FYI, things like $1 & $2 coins have a legal tender limit of ten times their face value, so technically, you can't even pay $20 in $1 coins but the limit for $2 coins. Most will accept it but it's there to stop hoarding and paying debts with a suitcase full of coins. Most car dealers don't really want touch cash regardless of financing kickbacks, a cash transactions raises alarm bells for the tax man, I'll save you money on the stamp duty by making the sale price $10k less and you pay me $10k under the table Last edited by jpd80; 07-03-2020 at 08:28 PM. |
