Should I pay with a personal check, or a cashier's check?

Is there a difference , like that you can drive the car home if you pay with a cashier’s check but must wait for the check to clear if you pay by personal check? If there isn’t any difference is how the car is delivered , then I don’t think it matters . But I’m very surprised they will take a personal check rather than a cashier’s check or a certified check.

They said it didn’t matter to them. I was kind of surprised at first, until I remembered that many years ago, a a friend of mine wrote a personal check for the entire purchase price of his new car - about $25K at the time. So I guess it’s not unheard of.
