New car: Cash or loan?

[javasaurus]

A friend asked me for advice, and I have no idea. So I'm asking you guys.

Will car dealers change a car's price if they know you'll be paying cash instead of taking a loan?

My understanding is that most of the time the dealer doesn't care (since they aren't the one doing the financing). Some company's will offer a rebate for cash.

The bigger question (from the dealer point of view) is are you planning a trade-in?
