Some car dealers do accept credit card for the booking deposit only. And no. It is not possible to pay for your car in full using credit card. Not in Malaysia anyway.

car worth 3xk...max installment period is like what? 36 months?
so each installment comes to about 1k?
if you can afford to pay 1k each month and the card dealer do accept credit card, why not...

No car company/dealer accept credit card as payment method.

Just like Miles posted, only booking fee they allow.

Car dealers or companies onli accept booking fee or deposit by credit card

cc is onli for retail purchases

so any car or house purchasing does not fall under retail purchases

Yes, you can if your car dealer willing to accept payment in full by way of card for the car.

Most Japanese car dealers like Honda and Toyota will tell you they only accept for booking, but you can always negotiate and ask that you allow more to be charged to your card before you sign on the dotted lines. Done that many times over the years.

For cars that are not selling well, car dealers are willing to accept payment in full with credit cards to clear stock. Last time looking at Honda Elysion and the dealer trying desparately to clear stock and willing to accept payment in full by way of credit card.

Auto Bavarian, if not mistaken willing to accept up to RM30K or was it RM40K the last time I asked.

As for Proton, erry, a regular here, mentioned he paid in full with his credit card.

Some car dealers willing to accept payment in full but they will add like 1-2% extra onto the purchase price, and if you are willing to make a fuss and want to fight for your rights, make a call to the card centre in front of the dealer to complain that they want to charge you extra and then see how it goes. That what our AMEX Black card holder reported here when he bought his sports card 2 years back.

I have always been under the impression that it's not possible to charge your car to your credit card in full in Malaysia. Will try that next time i buy a new car biggrin.gif

Can, most dealers will tell you add 1-2% surcharge. Salesman standard reply is credit card only for bookings. I will then insist that he go ask his manager and they will come back and allow me to charge more (not in full) without any surcharge for me to collect points smile.gif

I managed to pay the downpayment of my car using credit card this year. The dealer tried to impose surcharge as it was a substantial amount but I was upfront and mentioned if they can't accept credit card as downpayment then the deal is off. They relented in the end.

try Proton main showroom Shah Alam along KESAS and also at Glenmarie too, but I don't think you get any luck with AMEX.
