Sorry to side track from the original topic.

The dealer gets their money shortly after assignment of the retail installment contract to the bank, which generally occurs as soon as you execute the contract.
Yes, you most likely will get the same rate from a particlar lender as the dealer will get for you. You're ignoring the fact that either way, the bank is making the same loan (taking the same risk) whether you obtain the loan directly from them or through the dealer. Either way, the loan is yours, not the dealer's. All you're doing when you obtain the loan yourself is cutting out the middleman.
