Does anyone know if your social security number is required when buying a new truck?

When I bought my wife's truck 4 years ago this asked for this. I was paying cash to them.

 

yes... they are required to report any cash transactions over 10000 dollars american....keeps the drug dealers and money launderers at bay

 

Like TexfordD stated they need it when paying cash over $10,000 and they need it if you going to be financing it, so basically no way out of using it.

 

thanx,

and also I just found this in writing. I downloaded a PDF of the instructions for title application from DOT website and it says you must give your number if you are an individual, which I am...

thanx again

 

So what does the instructions say if your a twin born connected at birth? Do they have to seperate you first before needing a SSN?

 

Yes.

 

Thanks for the answer bro, you just never know when someone may ask that question...

 

Anytime chico.

 

I thought you called him keyhole

 

Easy on him Gator, them people from Kentucky get confused real easy sometimes...

 

I dont think you have to give your SS# if you are paying cash via a cashiers check because it's already been run through a bank.

Don't give your SS# out if you don't want them to run your credit report which will put a ding on your FICO score.

Same thing goes for the Doctor or Dentist if you are paying cash on delivery of services.

 

There was a dealer in NJ (Autoland) that the salesmen would take a customer's SS# and open up credit cards with it. Happened to a bunch of people and eventually the salesmen got arrested.
