I took out a low interest line of credit, consolidated some other debt, paid off some, and used the rest for the Rollie. I had my AD give me the price with tax for the LV a few days before and then walked in with a cashiers check for the full amount.

Paid with cc to get the points and then paid it off come bill time. Is that considered cash these days?

Zero discount unfortunately.

That's what I did mainly because I couldn't bring enough cash for a DD and I would have needed a certified bank check so the credit card was easier. I still got 11% off.

If 2% is horrible what is zero? I actually walked out of the 2 AD's in my area w/out a sale b/c they would not give me a 5% discount. They didn't bat an eye and guess what I went back and paid full msrp.

Cash always and have recieved between 15-25% off always. But I would still get the discount regardless how I paid my AD now, as I have a good relationship with them.
