What are your monthly payments?

I tried to buy a new car with cash one time -- actual cash, in twenties.

They had a fit when I pulled out all the bills. It was the same reaction I would expect if I had pulled out a rattlesnake or something. They had no idea what to do with it and it took 4 different people to work on the problem.

Why would somebody (you) do that? I assume you weren't trying to be a ****.

It was my first new car and I thought that was how one did it.

It makes sense to me*. Good for all debts public and private. They should simply ask you to fill out an 8300 form and accepted it. Since I hate filling those things out, I write a check and leave.

One time, on a Saturday/Sunday, I told them I don't have enough money in my account so I'll need a couple hours on Monday to make it good, and they were fine with that. Personally I'd of prefered cash over a possible problem check, as they did not know me.

*That is alot of 20's alright. 100's count faster.

Hey paying cash is doing it with style

There was a time not too long ago when people didn't buy something they didn't have cash on hand to pay for and debt was something to be avoided - not the norm.

Another paying in cash story -

My mother worked at a rural Chevy dealership and a guy drove in with a truck load full of pennies in Jars to get a new ride.

I am pretty sure they sold him the car he wanted but he had to go visit a bank first to verify how much money he was actually carting around with him.

I came with a cashier's check and the idiots wouldn't release the car until they called "upstairs" to see if they had to wait until the check "cleared" first. Just not used to people paying that way.

What many people don't realize about a cashiers check is they are like any other and can be cancelled and can be forged. When I sell a vehicle privately I take cash or we meet at the bank.

I once sold a car on eBay and had a fake cashier's check sent. You can call the issuing bank and they can identify whether its a legitimate check or not. I don't think that a cashiers check works like a regular check in that you can't just issue a stop payment.

I used AutoNationDirect: AutoNation Direct - Car Buying Program

You fill out a form, they send someone to your house to inspect the car and cut you a check. I got about 95% of blue book value.

Best,

Mike
