    Digging this up one last time.

    They have asked that I pay by bank draft. I've never paid like this before.

    Thing is, i'm picking the car up on Saturday, can i drive away that same day having paid by bank draft or does it have to "clear" like a cheque etc?

    How do they know it's legit immediately?

    Also i'm not in a position to get to my local bank that my accounts are with, will any bank under the same name give me a draft?

    That might be a naieve question but every day is a school day :)

    You should be able to go to a different branch of the same bank. Have you account number to hand to speed it up. Bring the receipt or a copy of same with you but afaik they are within there rights to wait for it to clear. I was paid for a car by draft a few years ago and it took about 3 working days to clear.

    I was also paind by draft from my last car I sold and as far as I remember it took a few days to clear.
    Garages can only accept X amount of cash, I had to pay some casg and some draft for the Passat because of this.
    I would ring first to verisy that you can drive the car home on payment day.
    If not then Look again for something different.

    Maybe so
    He may not be too hapy handing over a draft for the car he needs there and then to be told collect it next week when the draft clears.

    you're right sorry vectra, the op should be asking the garage instead of asking here. I agree with you on draft terms. The op needs to contact the garage.
