<prompt> Human: Last March 2016, I withdrew 10,000 from Bank of America with the intention of buying a car off of Craigslist locally. It was advice from a friend to bring cash since seeing the cash makes it easier to negotiate. I ended up withdrawing another 500 the next day since the buyer and I settled on 10,500 Asking price was 14.5K.Fast forward to this today 2017 - I sold the car today for 11,500. I had it on Craigslist and someone wanted to come take a look at the car tonight. I had no idea he was going to make a cash offer. I was asking for 13,000 but he had 11,500 cash. I made the deal and now I have a wad of cash with me. Should I just deposit the lump sump into my bank account? Its going to trigger a CTR, but the money is legit and not made illegally so Im not committing any crimes. But I dont want to deal with the hassle this might cause since it might look suspicious on paper if I conducted two large cash transactions in less than a year. Any advice?:edit: thanks for the advice everyone. I dont think I was ever going to structure the deposit. But I just wasnt sure if it will look suspicious with the large withdraw and deposit in less than a year. I didnt want to garner unnecessary attention or hassle. Ill go deposit it one lump sump on Monday.  <response>: Its fine. Youre overthinking this. Buying and selling cars is a completely legitimate activity.
