Many people have fallen prey to an assumption that, while possibly true in the past, is certainly not relevant in today’s market. Telling your salesman that you’re paying for your car in cash isn’t the power move that you may think it is.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying a car with cash. In fact, for some people it’s the absolute best way to go. What is isn’t, however, is a thing to say to your salesman in an attempt to “sweeten the deal” or barter. When you tell us that you’re paying for your car with cash in an attempt to get a lower price, it’s telling us that we might not make any money from this deal. It’s critical for both parties to benefit from a transaction, and given financing provides the brunt of a dealership’s profits, paying cash isn’t the incentive to offer a lower price that you may think it is. In order to stay in business, we need to make a profit from our sales. We don’t get greedy with our pricing, and we try to provide our best price up front and on our website. You’ll still get the same five-star treatment paying cash as you would were you financing with us, but it’s imperative to understand that telling us you’re paying with cash isn’t a negotiation chip in your pocket that’ll change the amount we need to make to keep this small business running. Here at the John Vance Auto Group in Edmond, Oklahoma, we try to be as open and transparent through the entire car-buying process as is humanly possible, and that extends to helping dispel misconceptions about what creates leverage in your purchase. When we’re all on the same page, it allows for everyone to have a level playing field and helps erase any feelings of hoodwinking or subterfuge. As it can be to your advantage to finance, we did want to provide some perspective on why you benefit from financing your car purchase. One of the most important factors in your financial landscape is liquidity. The ability to use or invest your cash reserves in savings or emergency funds is worth paying an additional 3.5% in financing interest if it means you can keep your cash reserves up. Obviously everyone is coming from a unique situation, but these general principles apply to most scenarios we see.
It can be intimidating signing up for a few years worth of payments, but knowing that you’re financially prepared for any occurrence between now and the end of your loan is a very reassuring bit of knowledge. View our full inventory here!
These amber lights are a fixture on heavy duty trucks, and it’s neat to see that Ford plans to take the next version of the Bronco to the next level.
To gain perspective on what the specs of the new Bronco Raptor will look like, we can take a look over at its sibling, the 2021 F-150 Raptor. 
The 2021 Raptor rocks with a 3.5L EcoBoost High-Output V6, which is a twin-turbo monster that spits out 450 horsepower on demand. In addition to heating things up with its power, it also keeps things cool with an all-new high-power fan system that ensures it can thrash around without needing a break.
Fox sport-tuned shock absorbers with live valve technology help provide comfort while sending it in the dunes and also while cruising on the highway. We can only hope that these will carry over to the new Bronco Raptor.
While we don’t have any specific details, we can surmise that some of these distinct Raptor traits will be gifted to the new Bronco Raptor in Edmond, Oklahoma. Whatever it ends up with, we can expect this to be an insane amount of fun where the blacktop ends.
We’ll make sure to pass along new updates on the Bronco Raptor as we receive them, but for now we’ll just have to wait and see what’s coming.
