Looking to buy a car over in Ireland and the blokes wanting cash. I was planning to fly over and get the ferry back but worried about going through airport security with £16k. Is there a limit on how much you can take on with you?

Not the kinda thing you wanna br talking about on the internet.. If someone knows you, and knows your getting on a flight with £16k, expect a headache and an empty wallet/sack


Ring the airport security and pre-warn them maybe? Or can't you just withdraw the cash from the bank on the day of buying the car?

Don't know about Ireland, but the most you can pay in cash over here is 9k

Why the fuck are you buying a car over here for I've only ever heard of people going to the UK to buy a car, fucking VRT over here is a rip off

MikeR

As much as you are brave enough to carry just dont look nervous when going through security

Isn't that dodgy in its self ??

I sure know if i was going to buy a car for cash for that amount i would be travelling with the boys too... for some back up

Hockney

Sorry I should have said but it's Northern Ireland so no need for euros or vrt

I'm taking the money with me because when I view it and do all necessary checks I'll be driving home with it, if it's a shitter it'll be back to the airport and a flight home with my money still in my pocket

Adam_BlackRS

Man, your a crazy mad man !!!

Going to see a car you have never seen (in the flesh), haven't met the seller and with 16k cash and he knows your coming with it !!!???

Do you even know thats is his address ? Could be his mates, middle of no where.... where his mates are waiting to split the 16k between them after doing god knows what to you

Sorry, but i would not being doing what your planning to do

Seriously mate, I live in Northern Ireland and there is some right dodgy people. Some of the local boys(para's) wouldnt think twice about putting a bullet in you for that sort of money. Go first without the money and then if it looks ok, then go back with the money. We have some of the same banks as England anyway, Barclays, Abbey, HSBC etc..

Neil@FastFord

I thought the max you could legally carry was 10,000, and you needed proof of money etc.

Money laundering regulations kick in for any transaction worth the equivalent of 15,000 euros - not that any dodgy bloke is going to be too fussed about that, until he tries to bank the cash and then he has to explain TO THE AUTHORITIES SATISFACTION that the cash is legit.

saff_cossie

Why don't you just take a bank cheque? Thats all I did when viewing cars and is easier to cash than a normal cheque also.

DaveZS

Why not fly over, check the car out and if all is good drive down to your bank over there and get them to do a bank transfer of the money.

Sounds dodgy to me, 16K Cash in northern Ireland. Despite what the press says, things can still be a bit dodgy up there.

Micky

A little light reading for the cash money man.

Fuck!

Surely wouldn't go alone though.......

Leave the money somewhere and go back later to collect after seeing/driving the car.. Make it complicated. Be wise not stupid.

Hockney

FFS I aint stupid enough to go alone or go with a flashing neon above my head saying "Please rob I have £16k on me" or post my flight details on the net so thanks for all your concerns I was only asking a question on how much you can take on a flight.

By the looks of it it'll be a ferry over and back and I'll make sure it's a quick car i go over in just incase Its a set up, I get mugged,shot, bashed over the head and whatever else nonsense was posted

Adam_BlackRS

Don't say we didn't warn ya

dojj

"been mugged for £16k, shall i tell the police?"

Micky The Finn

so far this year ive been to southern ireland to clear a business out that was winding down and that was £24k in cash,we went on the ferry,never asked,checked or stopped,been to northern ireland a few times this year with £15k,and £17k cash on the ferry,nobody asked or stopped me either,why would they?your only going to buy a car so have a reason,plus £16k isnt that much cash in todays world,some folk have credit cards with that much a limit on!
