in Credit cards
Funding a new car purchase and I would prefer to take advantage of 0% credit cards for two years of which I am eligable therby leaving the cash invested - across a varied portfolio but making around 4% net.
Dealer will cover cost of £5k on card but additional payment of £15k will incur a 2.5% handling fee.
Any suggestions for other means of working this?

You can try to negotiate it away but the merchant services charge them to process the transaction.
The cost to them will be about 1% 1.5 at most because as a small business I was 1.5% with Streamline, cant see a large car dealership being that as the more you turn over the less it is.0 -
Do you have the card(s) and sufficient limit(s) already in place, or are you still at the planning stage?0

Negotiate it away (fully/partially), take the hit or pay with a free method.0

Yes, cards assigned and limit no issue.
No more scope for negotiation with dealer on fee.0 -
