Putting money on the card and withdrawing it will most likely be cheaper than alternatives such as changing cash from € to GBP£ in advance. There are numerous threads about this already and the www.itsyourmoney.ie credit card cost survey summarises some of the costs. For example with my PTSB VISA the charge would be 1.75% forex margin and nothing else. Check your own card terms & conditions for details of their charges in case they are different. Cirrus/Maestro might also be an option but again check the charges.The car im looking at buying is a private sale, so cudn't purchase with visa, cud possible withdraw at an atm but im sure the costs are huge and probably limited to a few hundred.
Did you not check the charges on preloading your CC or Cirrus/Maestro card with cash and then withdrawing it in the UK as GBP£?!? Chances are this will be much cheaper than exchanging € to GBP£ in a bank here or in the UK.Should i get the sterling from my local bank first thing in the morning or... wait till i arrive in uk and go to a high street bank over there?

I think the recipient`s name must be on the draft when the bank issues it, so that limits your purchase to one seller...I may be wrong.Is it not possible to get a draft 1K less than the asking price and make the rest up in cash so you can haggle.If you decide to buy then you can put their details on the draft etc.
