Is cash still a thing?

When I bought my 261cm they gave me a deal paying cash. Do dealers still give a deal paying cash?

Yes many folks show up here with cash and leave with saws. One gentleman left last Thursday with a new 500i and one left today with a used 038S

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...

Cash is what works
