*Actually check, that much cash is apparently illegal now.

I buy 3 year old vehicles with cash. Actual cash not a check. It isn’t illegal to pay for a vehicle with cash and it happens more often then you think. If you pay more than $10k in cash the dealer has to fill out a form and send it to the feds.
When I bought my 2009 Prius I was chatting while the finance person was doing the paperwork and asked how many cash sales they get. He said about a dozen a week including a guy that day who purchased a $60k truck with cash.
