I've done this many times and it's not an issue provided you've got decent credit. The dealer will set up alternate financing through their in-house lender that they will use as a back-up in case your financing falls through. Once they get your check they cancel the back-up financing. It requires that they run your credit so it will result in an inquiry on your credit report but no big deal.
If you aren't willing to do this then they probably won't let you take the car. Surprised this is even controversial as this is SOP. People drive off dealer lots all the time with their own financing provided within a few days.

Yeah I've had this before when I got my 991, I put my down payment then a week later when the check from my personal bank arrived, I just drove over and dropped it off to the dealership. All the while I was already in possession of the car and was driving it around.
Also, if your car is relatively newish make sure when you add it to your insurance that you can also add it for GAP Coverage. I know new vehicles they do that automatically I believe, but for cars like a year or 2 old depending on mileage??? they can still offer GAP insurance. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
