Buying a car in cash

[dr. d]

i have always bought cars on cash basis, with checques fresh from the bank.
no issues, so far.
but perhaps it is because, my bank accounts have financial histories that go back many years, and that as a professional, i "have every right to sport such an account".

The threshold is 500k -- moving that money like from savings/current to an MC would trigger questions for AMLC purposes.

So buying the car wouldn't be a problem but the process of requesting an MC from the bank would trigger the AMLC?

Alam ko you get flagged if magpasok ka pa lang ng malaking pera sa bank, if justified then nothing to worry.

Sa case ni OP nasa bank yung pera, mag request siya MC wala na issue dun for AMLC.

If buying cash, dealers would suggest to have them in manager's check instead. It beats the hell out of folks counting bills.

Last year, VW and Honda asked us to prepare the amount in manager's check when we took delivery of the Jetta and Civic.

i think everybody issues checks nowadays. if they bring cash ummm na lng ako 🤔

My Dad has the same rule in our family. But when I was in grade school he paid paper bills in some instances lol.

Which bank is that? Normally they will just ask what the purpose of the MC is.

Most car dealerships have multiple accounts with the big banks so you can do a transfer from your bank to theirs. Tipid pa ng 50 pesos vs MC ☺

For clarification purposes, AFAIK anytime you make any single transaction worth 500K or cumulative transactions within a day, an AUTOMATIC report of the transaction gets filed at the AMLA. Also, if there is a transaction amount that is out of the ordinary for the history of the account (I cannot tell what qualifies), an automatic report is also generated. What I am also not sure about is for significant cumulative amounts or large amounts transacted over a few days.

According to the rules, AMLA officials aren't allowed to open these records unless it's part of any ongoing investigation.

Pero alam mo naman dito sa Pilipinas...
