I bought a new subaru in wyoming with a personal check and my address registered to general delivery with a similar experience. I was so surprised they didn’t make me get a cashiers check or verify the check.

I did later get screwed by the dealership when I was tired of doing my own maintenance after having replaced the timing belt on my truck and let the wife take it in for service and they literally replaced every fluid in the vehicle including brake fluid on a 2 year old vehicle, a $900 service.

in my experience almost all dealers take personal checks, they can get the car or money back from you pretty easily if there is a problem with the check
little harder when I had no address, or employer they could look up
