Just right a check. The dealer can run a credit check on you in a matter of minutes. Just make sure you have the money in your account.

So just use online bill pay.

Why? I just bought a new car a few weeks ago, wrote a personal check.

The dealership makes money on the financing, higher commission to sales reps if you finance. They are more likely to cut you a deal on the price if you finance.

Of course, who knows if that's the case these days with cars selling over MSRP.

We just write a check.

A friend did that. Showed up with $40k in a backpack. Told the dealership they could keep the backpack. Boss move.

Yes, they only accept cash in pennies.

No! Don't carry that much cash on you ever!

We just wrote a personal check at the Subaru dealership. No big deal. Make sure you have enough in your checking account.

I put 10k down on my last car. I did it with my debit card.

You generally need to get a certified bank check for close to the amount then regular check or credit card for the rest.

Yes, Thanks

Like literal dollar bills? I just write a check.

I wrote a check or you can get a money order from your bank. Ask the dealership how to handle.

Will you take 25k to a dealership if you're paying cash for a car?
