0% APR offers (paging TOG for a valuation too)
|
The CBR600RR3 is now 3 years and 3 months old, just replaced the rear
tyre and about to replace the front. Mileage at 15300 means the 16K
service is due in a few weeks as well.
Honda are offering 0% APR deals on new machines and I must say I'm
tempted to chop it in for a new one.
|
C'mon, you've had a Honda - now why don't you go for something more
interesting.
|
Hmm the new Blade 1000 in black with added black. Don't think I've seen
any prod. streetbike which looked nicer.
|
|
I was hoping that if it stayed red and had Honda written on the side my
my wife might not notice thAT I've spent several thousand pounds without
consulting her, again [1] !
|
I know someone that did this when he changed his 916 SPS for a newer
version. She still hasn't sussed him out.
|
|
heh. Andy B has a mate who traded up his Ducati on exactly this
basis, and his wife had no idea.
|
[1] Might invalidate the warranty if I immediately repaint a ZX-10R !

|
600's only cos they can;t shift them
Blade not an option for 0% unless you pay full price and no trade in
|
I'm calculating that my bike is worth an optimistic £3500 so the cost to
change will be £ 3799 against the list price of £7299 working out at
£105.53 per month over the three years.
|
Bet Honda offer you >=£1,000 less to cover the 0% interest
|
If I'd seen the offer last week I could have mentally subtracted the two
tyres and 16K service against the difference which would have made the
arguement to change easier.
The problem is, looking around there appears to be a fair number of new
CBR600RRs at substantially below list price.
Am I being lured into paying over the odds by the easy 0% APR offer ?
