You sign up for the finance, cancel it within the 14 days cooling off period and pay the car off in full.

You may not be able to pay a deposit with a credit card, many dealers don't accept them. Not sure why.

How shall I make at least some payment on cc

Before committing to that car, with that engine from that dealer have a look at the Volvo Owners Club online forum.

Very well used board with lots of experience from people who actually own and drive the cars everyday.

It's split into models so you'll get to know the good, bad and ugly... which will help in decision making.

On the day you agree the sale they'll take a deposit.... Pay that by credit card.

Then when you collect, you can pay the rest by 'switch' and finance.

Most main dealers have a maximum they'll accept on a credit card but no limit for a debit card.

Tiddlywinks.. any reservations about this model.

Its not that they wont accept them, its that they wont accept them without charging you a fee.

It costs them money to process the transaction.
