Yes you can. Credit card will incur a 2% charge normally but no charge on a debit card.

If in doubt, just get a building society cheque.

just go get a bankers draft.... as i doubt the garage will release the car imediatly. Not all debit card transaction are instant, and your bank may reject it because it looks a bit sus... tell them first anyway

unless you've stolen the card

No charge from the Abbey

For some reason it feels safer using a building society cheque than a debit card.

Get a bankers draft for sure it's the best way for something over a couple of grand.
