If you financed they would probably make a bit off of that and might do something. Don't see how cash would make a difference, unfortunately.
The perk of fixed price is that they can't sell it above MSRP. Cash is something that would justify a discount or a better price for a "no haggle" price. Especially since MSRP is always higher than invoice.

Eg. if you pay cash at a hospital they will automatically discount the bill down a certain percentage since they won't make nearly as much off of an insurance paid deal. Car dealers work the same way, loans are far more risky than cash upfront .
