SS number required?

[ksystems]

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.

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?

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.
