i was thinking about my strategy when going to the dealer sometime next week and i came with something..

Now i don't know a whole lot about dealing with them which is why i'm posting this.

This was what i was thinking.. i tell the guy i don't have any money to put down, but instead i would like a very high interest rate, that'll interest him, and not care about how much he sells the car for.

if you think about it, even if he sells me the car for $8,000, he could make over $150 - $200 extra every month just on interest.

so say we work a deal on $8,000 and i get this super high interest rate.. What he doesn't know is that i do have money.. so i wait about a week, come back to the deal with $8,000 cash and pay off the car without having to pay the interest. Sure it will **** him off, but i get a hell of a deal.

what i'm scared of now is, if i do this, are there some "cracks" where they can keep me from paying off the car or anything else. if anyone knows please post.

you cant just ask for a really high interest rate. i mean, if you have garbage credit you will get a really high interest rate. most dealership loans are handled through outside banks. the dealership just wants its money and it doesnt care if you have to pull 50s out of your nose.

The salesperson makes nothing on the lone. All of his is on commition for the sale. You might make a better deal if you tell him you have the money in cash for the sale. This is how much you have and what you are willing to pay for the car. If they say no on the sale then just walk out and come back in a couple of days and ask the same salesperson if they are willing to make the sale.

what car is this? used/new? it also depends on the condition of your car.. remeber if it has anything broken, and you know how to fix iit, you can have a bargain with the guy. If you don't, I suggest you leave it.. good luck man

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

      I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
