I know when i picked up my latest car last june they would only take a payment upto a certain amount £1k (if i rem) on a card (On one card only) and most won’t take cash any more, so had to be a BT.
Guess it depends on the dealer. I did ask when i ordered about payment methods and they was very clear about there policy, but i presume it varys but if they part of a larger group then i would imagine they all do the same..
I made the payment in the morning of the collection they actually sent me a video of the car as it had been there since feb for an april handover. When i got the vw golf 3 years ago, it was covered in one of those new car covers inside the showroom, so not as if you could look before entering the pin, it would spoil the reveal he he…
I never get any extra’s so everythings always as standard and not had any issues and on my 4th car on the scheme now.. Never been asked such personal questions either and i don’t see what difference it makes at all, Maybe it’s new policy but seems like discrimination, the fact you have a driving license from dvla is all they need and if your doctor knows your condition or meds will stop you driving he’s duty bound to inform dvla, maybe if you need driver aids they need to check they suitable for you but i doubt it as the installers surely would do when they accessed you not the dealer. Do they ask everyday people those questions if they don’t then they should not be asking us… I been ased to confirm the car is suitable for my needs, but never what those needs are etc..
