Am I in a better bargaining position...

...if I have no trade-in and don’t plan to finance the used car I’m interested in? Or does that just give the dealer fewer knobs to turn in working a deal?

No, they want you to finance. It’s how they make
Money.

So what if I finance then pay it off after a few months. Other than pissing them off, what's the downside of that?

No downside, just read the contract and make sure it’s allowed. Sometimes there is a clause that doesn’t allow it.
