Question

Using cash gives you more bargaining power than using credit.
False
True

Answer 1

True.

Paying cash often gives you more bargaining power because sellers avoid card processing fees and get immediate, guaranteed payment. That makes them more willing to offer a discount (common with used cars, flea markets, or private sales). Exceptions exist (many online or large retailers require card or financing), but in face-to-face negotiations cash usually increases your leverage.
