Can you offer instant payment for my vehicle?
The short answer is not always, due to dealers using different accounting systems:
Payment Systems:
- Most dealers offer instant payment, but some larger dealerships use accounting systems that process payments within specific periods or times of the day.
- CHAPS: Payments made via the CHAPS system are processed on the same working day, typically before 3 PM.
- BACS: Payments through the BACS system take longer, usually within two to three working days.
If Your Vehicle is on Finance:
- Processing the payment will take longer due to additional checks. Finance companies often use clearing houses to conduct fraud checks, which can take at least one to two working days.
