Working with dealers is an

Working with dealers is an overall horrible experience even if you plan to finance. Your particular experience is probably due to the fact that they won't make much money on a $5k used car, and you probably won't choose to buy from them if you are purchasing in cash (you'd get a better price from a private party). It's also just difficult for young people to get dealers to take them seriously.

An old trick when dealing with auto dealers is to never discuss possible trades or methods of payment until you've agreed to buy the vehicle at a certain price. However, usually this means you appear as if you'll be paying cash, which usually works in your favor. It's strange that your situation is the reverse.

I haven't dealt with an auto dealer in 6 years and I have no plans to deal with one ever again. Their profit margin is dependant upon you being uninformed.
