Yes you can. Credit card will incur a 2% charge normally but no charge on a debit card. 
 
If in doubt, just get a building society cheque.

just go get a bankers draft.... as i doubt the garage will release the car imediatly. Not all debit card transaction are instant, and your bank may reject it because it looks a bit sus... tell them first anyway 
 
unless you've stolen the card

No charge from the Abbey   
 
For some reason it feels safer using a building society cheque than a debit card.

The dealer/garage gets charged a fee for switch etc.... My dad got an extra 100 off if it was bankers draft!!!

Get a bankers draft for sure it's the best way for something over a couple of grand.
