For proton, i have been to 7 showrooms, spoken to 18 different sales person (some from advertisement in newspapers)

still no luck finding one can accept by credit card in full.

only 1 accepts max of RM5k per vehicle, and not AMEX as well. 

still trying. 

I believe BMW and Mercedes would most likely accept AMEX for booking but not sure for downpayment

If I pay whole downpayment by credit card, then takes a loan means I have 100 percent financing right?

Nissan can use credit card to pay a portion of the downpayment

Added on November 17, 2011, 9:27 pmI'm wondering if swipe MBB 2 AMEX card for RM40,000 downpayment, I would be getting 200,000TP and eventually redeem RM1000 of cash vouchers!

Hi, maybank amex reward catalag got offer cash voucher meh ?????
I checked online, can't find it ....do u mind to share it ? thx.

by cash vouchers, he meant jusco, parkson, sogo, etc vouchers. no direct to cash redemption.

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.

So bro Gen-X, did you manage to pay by AMEX? 

No lah, Auto Bavaria did allow AMEX when I check but in the end bought a Mazda 8 MPV 8 seater.See got two No.8 = 88, haha. Paid down payment with Visa and then when took delivery of the car paid with Visa but they only allowed me to pay RM10K. Time flies, that was 1 year ago.

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.

Found this this while searching..
Bumping up this thread!

Planning to use my Maybank Petronas VISA (5x TP due to the smiles promotion) to pay a substantial DP at Sime Darby Auto Connexion PJ... from what I read here it seems like most dealers won't accept CC?

Anyone else had any luck with it? Never mind the full amount of the DP, I'd be happy if I can pay at least 10k using the card. 

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

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.
