I had to pay the £1,700 AP on my current 4 year old car the day before I collected, haven’t a clue why other than when I collected the car the next day the dealer was on the phone to MB about one MB customer who was in hospital and was unable to collect there car and he also had another no show MB customer that week so think they got a bit worried I would not turn up on the day.
Can’t remember how I paid now but think it was just my standard bank card.
