    Just beware the Car Dealership will attempt to charge (what seems to be a standard) credit card fee of between 1.5 - 3 %.

    You may be able to get this waived in favour of the deal but you may not, worth knowing though.
  • getting an £8k limit maybe the hard bit on one card
    and most dealers will charge 3% to cover their cost

    Go onto a site like Moneysupermarket and do a search on 0% purchase deals.
