walk in and don't tell them your already approved or have a loan.pick your car and negotiate until the bottom falls out.after this is accomplished you pull out your check and purchase the car.do not discuss how you are buying the car because they are going to try to pre qualify you.you must be firm with them and just say "don't worry i am all set"i would like to look and get a bottom price and if that does not work you say you're gonna shop around and that should get things moving in your favor.
