Hey guys,

Were you asked by Audi to pay for your car before collecting it? I've have been told that this is normal Audi policy but in the past I have not come across this situation before.

Thanks,

Steven.

Hi,

Definitely not... a deposit is naturally expected... think I paid 10% but never heard of any dealer asking for full payment before the day of collection.

I put down a £500 standard deposit on order and have always paid a few days before collection by Cheque, so that it can clear prior to taking the car

A dealer will not usually let you take a car unless the funds are cleared, you could pay by debit card or credit card but they charge over a certain amount.

I did a bank transfer on the day of collection.

I just used a debit card to pay the balance on the day of collection... there should be no charge for using a debit card.

I was asked to pay in advance by bank transfer. I refused and said I would pay in full by debit card at collection and was told there would be a charge. I suggested they may want to revise their procedure as I wasn't prepared to be charged when my bank tells me I shouldn't be charged. Just paid the outstanding balance with no charge.

In the last two years I have purchased two new audi's, a TT and a Q2 and paid a £1000 deposit and full and final payment on the day I picked the cars up. The final payment was made by debit card.
Hope this helps.
