 TITLE: Do You Need Credit to Buy a Car With Cash? CONTENT: Cash Improves Your Buying Options\n---------------------------------\nIf you're thinking about buying a car with cash, you're already ahead of the game in one important way: Having cash in savings for a large purchase opens up valuable alternatives. You may decide to bypass the lending process entirely. You may also opt to use your cash to help secure and pay for a no- or low-interest loan or a lease. To return to our original question, you don't need credit to pay for a car with cash. But having cash can improve your buying options, including the option of using credit to pay. END
