To the comments about paying cash..I offered to finance through the dealership and keep the loan with them for whatever period of time was beneficial to the dealership. Soon after that, I received an allocation after a 9 month wait for an S cab. No ADM, either.
On a side note…I find the OP’s username quite humorous. All cards on the table, I am a 47 year old male with the sense of humor of a nine year old, but still.

true, should have clarified it was my SA and I was coming from the point of whether it would help out any on the pricing side. This was after I received the allocation, not going to the dealership for the first time trying to get a car.

Interesting.
To be honest, I was trying anything short of a moonlit ritual to get an allocation. Could be the finance option had nothing to do with me
getting the allocation but thought I would share.
I encountered this with a mini dealership several years ago and they offered to give a better price on the car if we would finance with them and hold for at least three months. After that time period, we could pay off.

Can often be a win / win...e.g. you give me a high markup item free and i pay 3 to 6 months spread on interest vs investment. They can't force you not to prepay...so its trust and you control it.
But as noted cash is not helpful, I walk in now and say I'm willing to finance the whole thing.
