I've worked hard to be able to purchase all my cars outright. Certainly have found that there are pros and cons to that. First I certainly would not take $70K in actual cash into a dealership, foolish on so many levels, but when you mention at a US brand car dealership that you'll be paying cash, it's like you just insulted them. Advantage is getting the exact amount for a cashiers check in advance means no pushy sales job for all their crap add-ons when you arrive. That alone has made it worth it, and I specifically have the checks made out to the dealership OR me, that way if there is some egregious error (which 34 miles is not), then I can still walk.
