1 hr confidence:

as an instalment

Explanation:
Chez la plupart des concessionnaires de voiture au Canada, c'est le terme utilisé.

Comme dans "payment for the purchase of the vehicle will be made in 36 monthly instalments".
"Le paiement de la voiture sera effectué en 36 versements mensuels".

C'est aussi, selon ma deuxième référence, un terme accepté en Angleterre.

"Without credit, a customer needed to save enough cash to cover the full price of the car. That was impossible for most Americans. As Olney noted, in order to purchase an automobile with cash during this time period, a typical American family would have to save for almost five years.17 With the spread of credit between 1919 and 1929, the percentage of households buying cars on instalment more than tripled, rising from 4.9% to 15.2%."

"I finally asked the Volvo dealer to sellme the PV. A price of £350 was agreed. I bought it on hire purchase, paying them by monthly instalments."

Bonne chance!

Explanation:
Sounds like you are "back-translating" this into English. The original is pretty badly expressed to say the least! However, if you read this word for word, then you get :

"je lui verse une somme d'argent liquide en accompte de note que je retounent la voiture"

"I [have to/had to/must]pay over (paid him) a sum of money in cash by way of deposit (an advance against the invoice) [so] that I return the car."

Car hire???
