When was the last time you paid several thousand Francs in cash?

The EU wants to take action against money laundering with a cash limit of €10,000. There is a recurring discussion in Switzerland and the general tenor is always that the Swiss would like to continue paying large amounts in cash and don't want to restrict themselves.

What's it like for you and when was the last time you paid thousands of francs in cash and for what?

At the age of +30, it's also possible that my bubble is too closed. But I've also noticed that a few of my younger colleagues (18-25) pay thousands in cash for cars and other fancy stuff.

Older senior citizens who walk around with CHF 20,000 in an envelope are still around, like always.

We bought a new car a few weeks ago. We sold our old one on the spot and paid the rest, i.e. CHF 9,000, in cash.

I am grateful for your input.

Edit: I am aware of the risks associated with money laundering/undeclared work.
