I think the biggest problem here is that you are buying a Lexus.

You can’t stick a badge on a poorly constructed Toyota and expect people to pay double the price for it…

Oh wait, i guess you can, in this case.

just ask the dealer – (more like the cashier). I’m sure they will most definitely allow you to charge on your credit card.

I will look into the convenience checks, but don’t this this card has ever offered fee-free checks. Also, not sure if I will get the reward points (which is the whole point of putting it on a credit card).

Peter: Simply use ( request them if you have to ) the “convenience checks” that credit card companies are so fond of sending out. If, that is, the CC company will waive the fee for using them. Can’t hurt to ask, if the dealer has an issue with the CC downpayment.

You mentioned that you used a credit card to buy a car. I am buying a car later this month and was planning to use a reward card for the downpayment of about $10-15,000. This is after I have negotiated a rock-bottom price. I’ve been wondering if the dealer will balk at that, since it will probably cost them around $300 is fees (assuming 3%). Did you have any problems?
