Erm.....pay for it WHEN?
Discussion
Dealer just rang, says they've got an invoice from TVR for my car (which I don't have yet, but its close), asking me to cough up the rest of the cash?
Huh? WTF? I've not even SEEN it yet and they want me to pay for it? Dealer says they won't let him have the car until the invoice is paid....
What gives people? Is this normal?

r off... you're not their bank afterall, and they will be getting commission on the sale too. I don't believe that this is normal. Needing to pay when you pick it up is fine but before?.
Ask them why exactly it is that they don't want you to see it before you pay for it...
and then check - is it the end of the month? Quarter? What reason do they want you to pay early.
If they are doing this for their own financial systems benefit then I think you would be within your rights to ask for a discount if you pay early...
Clearly if TVR are refusing to deliver the car to them without prior payment then they are doing this for their cash flow. If they can't wear the cost of a car for two days then they're hardly much of a dealer, are they.
I think I'd be a bit bolshy about this frankly. I don't mean rude. I mean - I'd ask for a full explanation as to why they want your money early. If the car is already with them...why not ask if you can go and see it...and pay them at the same time - even if you do pick it up a few days later after the PDI.

Pay for the car on collection if and when you are happy with it. NOT before.
Sounds a bit dodgy if you ask me.
I'd ring the factory and ask them what's going on. Maybe the factory doesn’t trust the dealer to pass the money on.
Sounds like some bad blood along the Line..............
All IMHO

Would definitely recommend taking it to another dealer if the TVR factory will let you.
That way you will have an established relationship with a dealer (that is still in business) to pick up the 1000 mile service and help with any niggles that you may get in the first few months and the renaining period of the warranty.
