Well you have multiple purchases, so that's definitely a reason to give you the benefit of the doubt. Remember too, they don't want people flipping allocations.
If you're paying cash, they can still require a credit app, and you can require them to fuck off. It's just the stupid games dealers play. If you want a car, they have an alloc and you're going to finance anyway, I have no problem doing the app. It get's you the lock.
Another thing that is nice about it is that you can get the finance negotiation out the way early. I have the .9% in writing, whereas some guys here got screwed by the fini managers padding the rates at contract signing. You have more leverage when you're not sitting there with a car waiting.
