Should you get dealer financing and then pay off the loan in full?
Can I get a car loan then pay it off immediately? I have the cash to pay for a new car. However, I've heard you can negotiate the price of the car, especially if you use dealer financing.
Then, pay off the loan after the first month. Waiting a month ensures that there are no “errors” with paperwork, real or fake.
Pro tip: Make sure that there’s no prepayment penalty. If there isn’t, you’re essentially getting the car for far less and you won’t have to pay the added interest.
