I think nowadays a lot of companies incur credit card fees when customers use credit cards, so the "cash deal" is really just the regular price, as the credit card price is inflated to cover the fees. May not always be the case, but I've seen that at several places before.

Ive gotten better deals using cash, maybe not a lower price, but extras thrown in like spare chains, chaps ect...
I take personal checks and the hillbilly payment plan
Might be a Canadian thing but I bought a new SUV last summer and the dealers all wanted to charge more (about $2000) if I paid cash. Had to finance part of it.
Because they make money by jacking up the loan rates!
Yup cash still works, and gets a discount often enough to be worth asking about. Paid cash for my heat pump, paid cash for my Land Cruiser.
Up here in northern Canada and probably the rest of the country e-transfers are the most popular
I have many customers who will pay their bills before I get back to the yard.

Pretty much any services from a skilled trade at my house, we pay cash and get a discount.
