It was all or none, an interesting tactic, I assume to try to get us to finance a higher amount. I could have paid $3k by CC and had no fee OR I could have paid the $10k by CC and paid a fee on all $10k. They wouldn't accept two separate payments. trust me..... my father and I tried. we also tried to charge it on a couple separate CC's, but again, no-go. Soooooooo, we just dropped a check for $10k and drove off.
