Some guy flew down here today with $4000 cash to buy my friends 72 VW Van so don't worry about it.

But, $11k is almost triple that amount.

And any amount above $9,999 requires investigation by the federal goverment, mainly to make sure you ain't be sellin' or buyin' dat crack cocaine.

He wasn't bringing more than $10k though.

Honestly though if I was an airport worker, $4k would seem just as suspicious to me as $11k.

Actually, anything over $10,000.00 will require a currency transaction report (CTR) .
I.e. $10,000.01 +.

I would ask this guy who he banks with.
Find out the method he would prefer.

If your bank is local to him you could always have him go with you to purchase a cashiers check. They're guaranteed funds and he won't have to deposit a huge heap of cash.
He could just verify the money is there when you purchase it in front of him.

Many ways to go about this, but you have to provide more information.

Every day, shove $30 in pennies up your ***. That way, you'll have the upper hand.

i took 4K to ohio when i bought my car. they asked why i was holding that much cash, then she looked in the envelope and saw a tag and insurance. they didnt have a problem, but told me to keep it in a front pocket and not to lose sight of my plate. easy as that.

I know. I closed an account with $9,800 and took that in cash, I already had $1,200 cash at home. I drove so I wouldn't have to go through security with that much in cash on me. The owner was an older gentleman who preferred cashbecause he didn't want to be swindled. I also had to bring my father because he didn't want to sell the car to an 18 year old. I got all of the money legally, but it sure did seem suspicious, even to me. But everything turned out fine.

Congratulations on the car.
