There is a massive amount of truth to this statement. You can never be truly free in the US though because you can't truly own land -- you can only lease it from the government. (if you don't believe me, just "buy" some and then refuse to pay governmental taxes on it and see how long you "own" it)
On another note, if you don't have cash, at least go out and get the car loan amount pre-approved before you go shopping. We, before I decided I hated payments, use to get an amount approved through the bank, or credit union, and then do exactly what you talked about above.
I agreed to a pickup at the dealers price, then told them that I had my own financing. I offered to just give them the truck back, but they decided that moving it was more important. It was definitely akward, but I did get very good pricing that way.
