My main question is how it affects negotiating a trade-in. I would imagine that purchasing a car for less than MSRP means the dealer would be less likely to negotiate within a wide range for a trade-in, but I'm not positive. I'm planning on purchasing a new BRZ when I return from my deployment, and I'd like to get the ball rolling on the purchase as soon as I get home.
Don't even bring it up until all other negotiations are done. Settle on a trade in and price and THEN say "oh and I am active military". Consider it your hidden ace card. If they try to backpedal after you play it be prepared to walk away. They won't let you walk far.
