Worked all my life in dealerships and never come across that. They do like you to take finance as they get commission on finance but wouldn’t normally refuse a cash sale. Strange one.I find it hard to believe a car garage would only sell on finance, having worked in a dealership for 7 years it’s unheard of actually and probably illegal.
Sounds like pushy salesman hoping the customer will cave and take the finance. Bought the wife's car a few years back froma dealer and the look on his face when I said I'd be paying cash was priceless. He was guttedWorked all my life in dealerships and never come across that.

Spotted a car I like at a good price, I want to pay cash (look at me) however the dealer will only sell on finance, now I know there's a poster on here who knows his stuff in regards to this, can I get the car on finance then pay it off in the cooling off period? & Will the seller hunt me down & kneecap me?
I have £8.59 in loose change in my pocket, that should cover it.Tell them to get lost and buy my 9 yr old Peugeot with cash.
I bought a car through SEAT where they gave you 2 years free servicing if you took finance - I took it, as soon as the credit agreement came through went to the Finance website, got a settlement figure which came in a couple of days, put the money into a bank account with my reference on it. Got a letter through about a week later saying all done. Was dead easy.
No the wonder the financial crisis hit so many. Running the world on tick? It’s brokenCrazy, the Worlds turned upside down.
You could always get a few hundred discount for cash when I were a lad.
This. If he's being arsey just walk away.Seems well dodgy imo. Trying their luck. I'd say well if you won't sell me for cash it doesn't matter

Dealers make a lot of money from the finance companies they use and that's why he wants you take his finance. I'd tell him to stick it.
