Cash sale — What You Need to Know
The full purchase price is paid in cash (or cash equivalent) at the time of sale. No financing, installment payments, or deferred payment is involved.
Seller guidance
Accepting cash eliminates chargeback risk, but brings IRS reporting obligations. If you receive more than $10,000 in cash in one transaction (or related transactions), you must file IRS Form 8300 (Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business) within 15 days. Ensure you provide a receipt and accurate bill of sale to document the transaction.
Buyer guidance
Carry large sums of cash only after verifying the vehicle title and condition. Use a cashier's check or wire transfer for high-value vehicles to reduce risk. Bring the seller to the bank if needed to verify funds. Once cash changes hands, recovery of fraud is very difficult.
Legal note (Washington-specific)
WA cash sales are subject to retail sales tax on the purchase price. The seller should report the sale to DOL within 5 days. Always document the actual cash amount — WA may verify against market value.

Miss the 15-day window and Washington typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling.

Template reminder. Whether you keep your template as a blank template you fill in by hand, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Washington DMV – Crawfordsville; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
