[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it on the credit card limit, but the "entertained your offer" language is a turnoff. Just walk. [/quote]

Op here—this is EXACTLY what annoyed me.  
I understand denying my request (although all businesses pay fees for credit card transactions so cry me a river), but do not act like you’re doing me a favor by selling me this car. Also, dealer, We are past that point:  youve already accepted my offer and those negotiations have nothing to do with the new request.[/quote]

No, they made a deal for cash or check.  You are trying to change that to a charge card purchase.  They already made you a discounted offer and now you are going to decrease the already lower profit margin even lower so you can get points.  First, they accepted your cash offer.  They did not accept your credit offer.  It is not a new request.  You are modifying your original offer to pay 25% cash to a 25% credit offer.  Yes, all businesses pay credit card transaction fees.  Car dealerships have limited the amount that you can finance by credit card to $2K or $3K in order to limit those transaction fees.  You are trying to multiply their margin for credit fees by 5-10 times their standard limit.

You are the unreasonable one.  You negotiated a deal.  You are trying to modify the the original terms after the original agreement date (going past the month-end).  Normally the deal that they offered you would have expired, but they are going to honor the deal even after the expiration date (Monday), even after they miss the deadline for which they would get the credit for making such a deal, because they are being honorable, which you are not.

Stop being a b**ch.  Either accept the offer, pay their limit on your Amex and the rest in cash, or walk and find another car at another dealership.[/quote]
