Wrong, A form 8300 has to be filed on ALL transactions over $10,000.
Cash, check or combinations of each. If fact, a retailer or banker can
not (under huge penalty) even advise or even hint that a 8300 for will be
filed on the transaction.


I think you may be confusing that for Cash transactions. I saw no such from
when I bought my last 2 cars and wrote checks for the whole amount. I do
recall my days working at a car dealership though. The sales staff and new
car finance did not take cold cash for the purchase of a car. I witnessed a
brief case full of cash being opened up in New Car Finance and the money
being turned down. I often took checks for payment by insurance companies
well in excess of $10,000.
