In three years I only saw one cashier's check. Some people (including my dad actually) will just whip out their checkbook.

Different parts of town, different companies, different manufactures, differerent corporate counsels giving the classes we were required to take before we went out on the floor.Like I said, you may find a dealership that doesn't follow the letter of the law, but it is the law.For that type of transaction don't most dealerships require a guaranteed form of paymnt such as cashier's check?
