Anybody got tips on how to pay "cash" when you're flying to your dealer? Right now it looks like my options are:
1) Order Teller Check (Cashier's Check) and fly with it. I hear horror stories of TSA finding these and confiscating them. Seems a great way to lose some serious change with no recourse.
2) Order a Teller Check and mail it to dealer. Seems like it could be a problem with USPS. Not sure I'd be covered if it went "missing". Even if I was, it would take too long to get replaced and I'd have to fly back home or drive to Wichita for a new one.
3) Negotiate a wire transfer. I'm trying not to bug Granger, I don't know if they accept these. It seems the most secure route though.
I've never flown to pick up a car, they've always been within driving distance. I'm sure plenty of people here have done it. What I'm NOT willing to do is finance it and then pay off the loan. The whole point of me switching to cash deals is to keep everything off my credit. I'm trying to get back to 800+ here. We're looking to buy a house soon.
