Well, I do believe that the legal tender law only applies to debts.  For 
instance, say you entered into a binding contract to pay a dealer for a 
Benz that you financed.  If you tried to give him cash to pay off the 
financing and he refused, the debt is cancelled.  If you don't have a contract,
i.e. you just walked in and offered cash, then the legal tender thing doesn't
apply.
