Do car dealers not accept full payment in cash?

I heard the car dealers will refuse the sale if youre paying in cash for the full amount because they make money in the interest from monthly payment.

@SomeMichGuythey can't refuse American cash, but they can refuse full payment.
@RoxClymer No.

The signing of an offer to buy creates a debt owed by the buyer.

Cash is "legal tender for ALL debts, public and private"

@SomeMichGuy but the signing of that offer may stipulate the the buyer can only pay a certain percentage cash,

I had a friend buy a car that he couldn't pay off early or he would get penalized, financially.
@RoxClymer You are talking about loan terms, which is an alternate way if financing the sale.

@SomeMichGuy and a dealership my approach you and say, "the only way to buy this car is this loan deal."
@RoxClymer Now you are reaching.

They are a business. They want to sell cars.

Cash is best, because they don't wait to get money or sell a contract for some lesser amount.

You were mixed up from the beginning.

@SomeMichGuy Tell that to my heart specialist, the local emergency room, etc. Doctors in particular seem to be turning down cash recently. I wonder if it's against the law?
@ChipmunkErnie They likely don't want to run a cash drawer, but I'd force the issue.
