I don't think you're allowed to do that over here. Or, at least, not
with a true credit card - I don't know if you can charge a car to American
Express, but I doubt it. Not because of credit limits - the credit line on
my Visa is high enough to buy a Porsche 911, never mind a Honda or Mazda -
but there's some other reaon that prevents most car dealerships from
taking credit for anything except a place-holder deposit.
About nine years ago, I was told by a car dealer that it couldn't be put
on a credit card because of something to do with them then not having a
lien on the car. (Or because the credit card company wouldn't?) I'm
fuzzy on the details as to why, since the key thing I needed to know at
the time was that I couldn't do that. The issue was SOMETHING to do with
somebody not having a lien ... Anyway, that was nine years ago -- I
don't know if things have changed since.
