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 (Wisconsin-specific)

WI cash sales are subject to 5% state sales tax. Record the actual cash amount in the bill of sale.
