While it is up to each person to negotiate the best they can, the numbers will actually end up being the same in the end (assuming the same negotiated value) because that dealer is going to get that negotiated amount regardless of how it is structured
Again, no.
negotiate the price down and pay less per month with no money down. That's some very basic stuff here, LOL

True.
Whereas some with a modicum of financial sense will negotiate the price and pay less per month with no money down

My position (aaaaaaaagain ) is that if you are a good at negotiating you will end up with a lower payment with no money down or even $0 at signing, much like i did.
Such position is self-evident and requires exactly 0 "bolstering"
Having said that, people will inevitably overpay where they don't have to and end up somewhat bitter about it

It literally NEVER makes sense to pay more when you can pay LESS with NO money down. I mean, again, some VERY basic stuff here
