What is the best way to pay for a car purchased privately please?
When buying provately, there are only two options at the moment:
1) Cash. Contact your bank and arrange to go in to make the withdrawal.
2) Banker's cheque. Contact your bank and explain that to pay for a car you would like a bank cheque.
Cash means you can haggle a bit on the day, so if you have not agreed a final price it is more flexible. A cheque means they can't try and get the price down from something you agreed on a previous visit or phone call.
