Default 5000 bucks

I recently applied for a credit card to Kawasaki just to see what they would offer me. Well lol they gave me a $5,000 limit. I am looking at bikes again lol.

Do I dare ask what the interest rate is? Wouldn't you be better of applying for a loan from a bank, or saving the cash up?

I bought mine on the Kawi card, 3.9% for 2 years, locked at 8.5% after that....pretty damn good but it was special they had going when I bought it. I would say that if youre gonna finance, go to the bank, orjoin a credit union, they give you even better rates.

That's a good deal! My loan was 7.99% through my credit union. But most of those bike manufacturer cards are in the 20's for APRs! [sm=badidea.gif]

Yeah, that special was the only reason I went with the card. Usually they are a rip-off.

Nice to use the card until the promo ends and balance transfer to one of the 0% interest promos on a regular card

I think the interest rate is 17.9% which sucks but I have had my license for like a year and a half and no bike to ride. I can never save up the money like that tp drop 3 grand on the bike. The card is my best option. As sad as that is. gonna try to getthem to lower the price of the bike to.

got any kind of down payment ? that'll help. What about the bank you do biz with ? They should be able to give you a much better rate than 17.9 %
