What qualifies as “paying in cash”?

553 views

I feel like this is an exceptionally dumb question but, does paying in “cash” limited to paying with paper currency? Or would paying for something, say a vehicle, in full and with a debit card also qualify? so, basically, does not paying with credit or in payments qualify?

Also, paying in full with a debit card is a preferred method for a car dealership, right? Would that be something that one could offer in negotiation in order to bring the price down a bit?

Thanks for anyone who answers this. Much appreciated and have a good day.

I bought a car for 5k and was asked if I was paying in cash or financing. When I went to pay and pulled out the ol’ debit card they refused to take payment and the finance guy was pissed at the sales guy for me not having it in cash cash. How dumb of me to assume they werent just asking “are you taking a loan or do you have the funds for this yourself”. It depends on the place it seems.
