I used a credit card to put 5K down on my van. I wanted the points. I tried to do the whole thing but the guy wouldn't let me. I don't see how they could do that reverse charge thing. Because you have to sign all those paperwork. And show documentation and stuff. So that guy was just being a shithead. And to be honest I bet you the reason also is he wants you to use their loans not your credit card. He wants the interest he doesn't want to give it to the credit card company. For my circumstance I told the guy I was buying the car with cash. So if he denied the credit card I just would have gotten the cash and given it to him instead in the form of a bankers check.
The trick is to finance the car at the stealership. They'll give you a better price. Then pay off the loan about a week later.
Got to be careful with that though sometimes they don't allow you to pay it all off. They're savvy to that trick. There's a way to do it it's like a little game you play you know who reveals their cards first. I've never successfully won the game but maybe my last car before I dropped it I will if we even have cars anymore.
