Earlier this year bought a car with cash and our conversations went something like this:

"What kind of payments are you looking at?"

"We're not financing, we're paying cash, we want an all-in price of $[X]"

"Cash? Really?"

"Yes, cash. Now what can you show us for around $[X]"

"Well I can you show you a few things, but let me ask you something. Do you know how much the interest would be on a $20,000 loan if you took the full 5 years to pay it off?"

*sigh* "No, but I bet you do..."
