When you say "paying cash" are you talking a stack of 100 bills, or writing a check? If it's actual 100's I doubt they could refuse but it may draw some suspicion. I bought a truck last summer and it was a write a check deal and there wasn't any issue here. But dealerships are often involved with lending institutions and I'm sure they probably get a little kickback from them. So I'm sure they try and steer buyers to borrow from certain lenders. But I doubt they would refuse a sale.

Personal Check or cashier check

Straight out cash I heard humors that they call the IRS on you, and banks do the same with caah deposits as an individual non registered business

I bought a new car last year, paid in full. Not an expensive car by any means. They didn't even wash the car or remove the peely stuff before I drove home. They weren't pleased with me 😂

I don't know what the rule here currently is on card dealerships I bought three or four vehicles for cash only just wrote him a check for it they look at you kind of weird when you write a check for over $10,000 and it's a personal check and they're like they don't know what to do I'm like take it to your finance person have him call the bank see if the check's good and give me the fucking keys to my new car

They make money on the loan, they don't like cash but have to take and also must show the invoice.

The dealer is less likely to negotiate on price when they cannot sell you a finance package.You hold off on telling the sales rep how you will pay for the car until the price is agreed on.The dealer gets commission on selling finance packages.

If so go someplace that will accept cash

I’ve always paid in full at time of purchase with certified cheques. However I know that where I live $7500 is the max you can pay In Cash at a time for stuff because of money laundering rules

Here in Australia you probably can still buy a car with cash from most vendors, but like all things they try to push you to electronic payments for everything now. The better and safer option is a bank cheque but remember until the seller gets full cleared payment (without a finance contract) you don't get ownership.

I believe that's possible due to Federal Law regarding Money Laundering concerns. They may require bank check or certified check in lieu of actual Cash.

They can't refuse American cash.

Like how large. Most want credit

Accepting a large cash amount just means mire paperwork and most already have it prefilled out anyway. Hell most accept anything including gold

Its been a law for a long time. Its related to drug dealers dealing in cash

They DO make more money by selling you a loan or a lease, but if they turn down full payment I'd walk out the door.

For my next car purchase it will most likely be cash

correct

I bought my 2010 Dodge SUV in full four years ago with cash, whoever told You that was lying.
