It only needs to be reported (form 8300) if you pay with greenbacks. If you bring a personal check or cert check any dealer does not have to fill that out. if they are a dealer that obeys all regulations they need to verify OFAC and identity theft to ensure your not a criminal or wanted by the govt or did not steal someone's identity.(do not need a s.s # they can use 123-45-6789). Starting 01/01/11 they also need a risk-based-analysis notice that tells you your credit score. (that is only if you finance with them). I am a finance mgr at a dealership... if you have any other questions i would be more than happy to help out.
