Yes, you will trigger some interest from the IRS. They seem to get curious whenever someone turns up with a bunch of money and no explanation where it came from.

It depends on whether the down payment is made in currency or by check. If it is in cash, then the dealership (or any business) receiving a payment or set of payments in currency of $10,000 or more must report it to the Feds. If the payment is made by check, either personal or cashier's check, then there is no requirement to report it.

YES, cash payment in excess of 10,000.00 is required to be reported to the IRS, who will notify the FBI, who will conduct an investigation as to JUST where and how you came to posses such a large sum of cash!

There are no income tax implications on a down payment. The sales tax is still calculated on the purchase price.

Why so large a down payment? To avoid any possible cash reporting, make a smaller down payment.

Keep your down payment under $10,000

If you don't have any income, what are the "some jobs" that you saved money from?
