I could understand a few days while the cheque cleared but 10 days is too long. I know when I bought my first new car I paid by cheque on the day I picked it up. Maybe they were too trusting :)

10 days is a pretty good time period for some day trading although if they lost the lot they would still have to hand the car over.
