When you guys say "cash", do you mean "not credit"? Because my dealership did not seem to appreciate it at all when I gave them 30,000 euros in stacks of 50 euro notes.
Yea, often when people say "cash" they're just referring to an instant asset transfer (cash, check, eft, etc). Usually I would expect a transaction in a dealership be a check or some kind of electric transaction.
Sounds fun to pull out a large stack of actual cash, though.
It was fun for me. The salesman didn't seem to enjoy it, but, in my defense, I had told him I didn't want to wait a weekend for the SEPA transfer to reach their bank before I could get my new car.
Interesting. Was trying to think of something common that could exceed 1000 euros and monthly rent came to mind. I'm guessing mom-and-pop landlords expect check and/or money order as typical payment method, or wire transfer?
In UK it's normal to do a "standing order" which you set up either at the bank counter or more usually through your online banking. Other methods have transaction charges whilst this does not, you can do one-time transfers this way too.
Limiting cash transfers isn't only about terrorism, it's about limiting possibilities for using your "black money". Governement doesn't want to lose income, are they ;)
