6.99, about same as my CU, bank....




So glad I have read the forums here for the past few weeks, thanks to all who have shared so much experience!
have financing approved thru HD, (tier 2, whatever the hell that means) will find out if I'm going to get my a$$ reamed tomorrow. I do have some bargaining points to throw at them, since I have good credit, a good credit union thru my work with good rates. so maybe I'll fair well when I push back. (fingers crossed)

I'm looking at the Iron, really love the bike, but perhaps I'll go with the Nightster...dunno will have to go with my gut when i'm there. the xtra few grand difference might be tough to swallow.

i'm hoping for a great first time buying experience...

 

1200 and dont look back
good luck

 

either bike will be a good choice....if ya got an iron and wanted more power later on you could always pick up a 1250 kit from nrhs, they are on sale right now for i think $700.00

post back and let us know what ya pick up.

 

I assume financing for HD is alot like autos (my wife is a finance manager) Tier 1 is for people that have A+ credit. They get the advertised lowest interest rate offered at the time. Tier 2 means they take the lowest possible rate and add a percentage point or 2.

Tier 1 is rather difficult to get. People with sparkling credit may still be Tier 2 borrowers unless they have a past history of financing with that particular lender.

Just a word to the wise...HD financing is going to have a higher interest rate than a Credit Union but they also have longer repayment plans to fit your monthly budget.

Regardless, good luck in making your choice. You will love either bike I'm sure.

 

either bike dude, as long as u got one.

 

H-D finances used Harleys also and I would look at the used market for the same type of ride where someone's finances or wants have changed . Could save You some $ . Lots of garage queens out there .......WVleo

 

good luck...

 

Approved for financing...rate wasn't as bad as expected 6.99, about same as my CU, bank....

 

My recent purchace went through Eaglebank (HD) and the rate was actually a lot less than my bank, my dad's CU and a few other banks (2-4% less) even at 60 months. I was quite shocked.

Biggest diference between 883 and 1200 is resell imo. The 883 will be slower and not as smooth running at highway speeds, but both will get you around just the same.

Like another poster here said, check around for used bikes. I found an 07 with only 1224 miles and had it financed through HD. Main reason I really bought a sportster tho is more or less a "rideable savings account".

Good luck and enjoy

 

by the way, I'll be buying from Harley Davidson of Greenville, SC.
