Buying from Dove House was impossible!!!

I went to see a 992 there the other day. Surprisingly a bit rough around the edges. They'd borrowed a piece from it for another car, switches missing, broken light lens and hood problems. But, they promised to fix the issues (except the £700 lens) so we agreed a deal bang on the ticket price (no discounts). On top I also wanted some more bits doing to the car. When I came to pay they just wanted the money within 7 days - bear in mind things needed doing to the car. I gave them several payment options. Large cash deposit, up to 50% and the rest to follow in cash when I had released the remaining money (normally more than 7 days from my particular account). Or, most in cash and remaining on credit card (I'm always happy to pay the fee for this on top). But, their computer said NO! I almost found myself begging for the car they had agreed to sell me and I clearly had the funds for. To save myself further embarrassment I had to walk away. I've never experienced such bizarre attitude before to someone selling something. It has left me dumbfounded. There are lots of good dealers selling good cars - I'd try them first.
