Your bank would have asked you where the money came from. Presumably you
would have a copy of the advert and the car sale/transfer forms to
substantiate that, if asked to provide it.

Start doing it too often and you run the risk of your account being frozen
for investigation.

cash came from....he was saying he doesn't like banks and keeps cash
only.....his problem I am not going to make it mine....
