several
auto's I like at dealers for the $7K-$8K range, I found some I like better
from individuals for the $5K range (same model, newer, lower miles, $2k
less). But either way I go about it, having the cash gives me leverage at
the dealer or the option to buy from a private seller.

Are their credit card cash advances that actually give you cash? Or how
about pre-approved financing? Will financing companies approve you for a
set
amount based on book value?

That's a heck of a rip-off. I was thinking about getting a cash advance for
a 3% fee and then paying the card off before the high cash-advance rate was
charged. Or I could balance transfer a portion and use the tax refund money
to pay higher interest balances.

Will an ATM or bank give you a cash advance on a credit card? I don't want
the 20+% interest rate but since I can pay it off in a week it wouldn't
matter.
