Most car dealers act like you're bringing in AIDS when you want to pay cash

Also Fentanyl was developed for serious patients who probably aren't getting better - aka stage 4 cancer patients, etc.

Fentanyl is used by paramedics all the time according to my daughter who administers it as a pain killer regularly, off topic as it may be.

There is a chance of having to do additional Fed reporting with a cash transaction of that size. CASH, not a check. Dealers don't want to be bothered. YOU may get a call asking how you accumulated that pile of cash (through legal means). It's not a big deal, but it's a deal.

On the contrary, essentially all of my person-to-person vehicle transactions over the years, buy and selling, have been for cash.

Most entertaining was when a seriously black Black fellow from some shit-hole country in Africa bought my Suzuki Grand Vitara. He paid me in hundred dollar bills (50 of them). His "deal" was buying Suzuki GV's and shipping them through Baltimore to his native country, where they had the reputation of lasting forever, handling any terrain, and they had a good parts availability for those vehicles.

I brought a checkbook the first time I bought a car from a dealer. Checks were not accepted so there was a delay while I left to get cash.

Paying cash is not really a problem. Telling them in advance that you are going to pay cash brings about a ration of bullshit that nobody needs.

Also, let them make their pitch for financing. My last BMW was financed at zero percent over four years. Why would I pay cash? (Hated making those payments, even though they were automatically taken out of my checking account).
