Best Answer

Only if you are borrowing money from them.

Some dealers will tell you it's for homeland security reasons and it's the "law" - even if you are paying with a cashier's check. That is nonsense. They want your SSN to do a credit check to see what your ability is to pay and how much so they can try to sell you a higher priced car. If they insist, demand that they cite the law. They won't be able to. Walk out and take your business to a dealer that does not employ liars.
