Nope. But they wouldn't budge on the price and I really wanted the car (specific color and features) so I said ok but only if you let me put $x on my AMEX and they agreed.
I had to fill out backup financing paperwork as if I were getting a loan, which they would then only submit if the payment got rejected/reversed.
