Cleared payment 2 days before collection?
Discussion
We're in the process of buying a caravan (which I am seeing as the same as buying a car).
The dealer is wanting the full payment cleared in his account two days before we pick it up. This seems a bit excessive to me; my concern being that if we turn up and he hasn't done the little jobs he's promised then we have zero leverage.
Tbh there's not a lot we're asking of him so the risk is probably minimal, but it seems wrong to me.
Very much in contrast to my last car purchase where the dealer didn't ask for a deposit and was quite happy to let me drive off having just handed over a cheque.
