Manufacturer vehicle purchases are typically paid 3 days from the date of registration but can have longer payment terms depending on specific manufacturer purchase arrangements. Standard terms for other suppliers are for payment to be made on the last working day of the month following the date of receipt of the invoice, although specific terms may exist where agreed with certain suppliers.
