Very odd. The last time I bought a vehicle I just wrote a check, the seller took a photo of my ID, and I was handed the vehicle title. I understand some sellers will accept a cashier's check. I always thought this was the normal way of buying high dollar items like this with 'cash'. Does Germany not have something like that? Surely going to a bank in Germany and withdrawing or depositing $30k in cash must raise some alarms.
