I love messing with dealers on this finance stuff. The last two vehicles I bought I moaned and whined about how I couldn't handle a $500 or so monthly payment. They always wind up negotiating the deal to get the payment down to less that that. As long as they drop the price but do not increase the term you save money.
I make sure the finance contract specifically says no pre-payment penalty (dealers hate it when I spend 10-15 minutes reading every word in the contract). Then, I make one payment for the agreed amount and then a second payment the next month for the entire amount.
I keep remembering that whenever talking to a dealer most of us are at a disadvantage. Remember: the dealer is a professional negotiator and you're not. They have the upper hand.
