I'll have to side with 4444 here. That fact that most ppl don't consider the time value of money is quite alarming. Its one of the most important thing a person should learn because it directly affects how much money u'll end up with when u retire. It also help u realize the true cost of the things that u r buying if u don't pay for it at once. It's one of the most useful math skill as an adult.

I'm sure in your career as a "successful businessman" you have realized if you're condescending and arrogant, you won't get as far as someone with the same skill set and ability level who is approachable and amiable.

I havent checked rs for a day... and this happens. 
However, this proves that most people are unaware of the whole time value of money when it comes to financing cars.
Hell, Ive got people that are willing to pay that extra interest, up to 11-12% just to get themselves into a car.
As for the 0% thing, I do offer to customers it so they can use the money elsewhere or it gives them the luxury of having a bit more cash flow. I usually recommend it if there isnt a cash rebate going on.
But from the onset, we were here to talk about price negotiating on cash vs finance, so enough of this time value of money stuff. I have enough headaches as it is.

I could be a lot more condescending, trust me
And yet again, I will point out that in my real life, I act and speak appropriately, and have done extremely well for myself, so don't you worry about me not getting as far as anyone else, you should be worried about getting as far as your peers

At a certain inflation rate, $20k today cash is worth a payment stream of $22k over the life of a lease. As such, you are likely to be able to get up to a $2k discount using cash, less any financing kickbacks/fees earned if you pay cash.
This is a very simplistic case for a car with a $22k sticker.
Lets not forget, that there is also risk involved in offering financing, as some people do default and get their cars (which by then are usually worth less than the outstanding debt) repossessed. Not sure if the dealership pays for default insurance, but that Is also a headache/cost for the dealer which you won't be able to negotiate away.
This is, unless you're in 2006 in the US where anyone could get a loan for anything with no income! But those times have changed. Thankfully

*in his example, the 20k is now worth 22k

lol if people think new cars are investments, they clearly are idiots.
unless if its a super limited production collector car, depreciation is a bitch as soon as papers are signed.
the 20k car that rolls off the lot is automatically worth 16k...
blee// 12% interest is of the norm.... 5.9% is standard rate.

have had people came in with very very meh credit, previously bankrupt, had foreclosures etc..
they were paying 12% interest on a used car! 
then there are some people that are borrowing a small amount of money on a short finance term.. they were at about 8%
all of these are used car interest rates.. new cars are usually lower because of manufacturer backing

we usually start about 4.99%+ at our dealer. We dont have enough mark up on our used cars to make it as low as 2.99%
usually the good credit customers hovers around 5.9 or so for used cars..

or is it determined by how long the term the customer wants to finance by? For example by: 3 years @ 4.99% , 4years@ 5.99% , 5years@ 6.99% etc?
The rates at your dealership is quite high since you said a customer had 8% and another 12%....

When you buy a car at a dealership, be a cash buyer and not a finance buyer. Cash buyers seldom pay sticker and have more leverage when buying. How do you be a cash buyer? Well, get a loan from the bank and NOT the dealership. When you finance at the dealership, you pay more interest and the dealer will find more ways to add to the interest. When shopping a bank, get the lowest interest rate possible and use that bank.
