buying car with cash...

[cal]

is this acceptable for used cars?

say one wanted to spend 10g on a used car, would this be accepted by most ppl or even a used car dealer?

I tell you, money is the root of all that´s evil! Don´t use it, don´t have it, if you have some, send it to me , so i can destroy it.

yeah, you may even be able to get a better deal. just make sure you have lots of paperwork to prove you actually bought it and when. you cant stop payment on cash!

depends where the money came from... they can investigate cash purchases... that vewing said i would use a cashier's check from the bank... i have done this twice for cars and have had questions asked both times

I don't think anybody would NOT accept cash as payment for anything. Shit, if they'd accept a check as payment, why not cash? Besides... paying cash for a large purchase will 99 times out of 100 get you a better deal. My friend got his best model of new car fully loaded for less than the guy who bought the lowest model bare. =)

trust me they will LOVE it

if anything was to go wrong the HARDEST thing for you to get back is your money if it was cash. plus cash is something that can be hidden etc...

i hate buying things with cash

just seems weird to go in with like 100-100 dollar bills to buy a car. seems like they would be a little shocked at a dealership. private sale, i could see some people not caring at all or preferring it.

I agree. Go with a briefcase full of $1's

I take it you're a drug dealer?

Heehee have you guys seen the first 30 minutes of Psycho?

If you go in with a big pile of cash, you can expect to be questioned about its source.

I have heard of banks making you sign a "I ain't a drug dealer" form when depositing large sums of cast. The instance I am thinking of was only like 3 grand.

Why would you have that much cash sitting around?

I bought my car with cash, and saved over $2,000 because of it.

one time awhile back I had a thousand dollars in 20s that I wanted to trade in for hundreds. the banks wouldn't let me do more than 100-200 at a time, so I had to drive around to lots of banks. I walked into one bank near where I worked and standing there was one of the Celtics (they train in my old gym that was near where I worked). I don't follow basketball, so I don't know which one he was, but he was someone famous - everyone was all ready to suck his dick. he was fucking tall as hell and had on lots of gold and leather, and his Mercedes was out front, windows down, still running - this was a common site anywhere these guys went. I guess to show that nobody would fuck with them, and also that they are so rich, you could take their shit and they wouldn't care - don't know.
so I am behind him, and he walks up and says to the person, hey, I have some cash I want to depoist, and I have a paycheck too.
he then pulls it out of his coat and sets it on the counter. it was a fucking huge stack of 20s... the dude at the counter was just like... uhhh and looking around and said, "we don't usually deal with that much" and the basketballs dude was like "yeah, you see, I'm going out later and don't really want to be carrying all of that, so whatever you can take"
the guy typed on the computer and said, okay, we can do that. then he asked for the check, took that, looked at it, and then laughed. there is some rule of the most you can have in one account at a bank - don't know what it is - but this guy's paycheck exceeded that. so he started another account.
he laughed and said this happened to him all over the place.
apparently wherever they play basketball and he gets paid, he just starts an account there, so he is used to all this.

it was all very surreal to me - also I was blown away at how bad he was with his finances - I mean, you hear about it, but damn...

Umm ... because that was in a movie.

Yes, you may have some trouble trying to purchase a car at a dealership with $10k in cash. If nothing else, they might view it as a security issue. Friends of mine tried to buy a minivan with $25k in cash. They were sent away to get a cashier's check.
