No flames please. I did search but there is limited info on the site. And yes i did read the article on loans in the SBN articles section. What i wanted to compile is a small "database" so to speak for other people to compare and be able to use the info. Don't be scared to post, but this is what i'm kinda getting at:

Make:
Amount financed:
Who financed: (Bank, Credit Union, Manufacturer)
Down payment:
Average credit score: (Average of your "fico" scores)
Age:
Special circumstances: No credit, bad credit, co-signer needed, trade in, etc.

Monthly payment:
Interest rate on loan/card

I know so many people are against financing, but we know soo many people finance their motorcycles, so please no bashing and saying "pay cash or don't get one." I really want to compile some good info

[Hagios]

Nope. Same, in my case. I've been working on my credit since I was 16. My age is all that's working against me at this stage in life, I'm told.

I think that's bullshit, I'm 21 and I'm being offered 5.9% for a $40,000 private loan with a cosigner, and my credit score is about 740. You should see if you can get a loan through your bank instead of Honda, it would probably drive your interest rate down a few points.

Noted. I'll call my credit union a little bit later.

Edit: typo

If you are saying that you need to give your cosigners information. If your cosigners info overrides yours in a better manner you are no longer cared about

Another thread hijack. Can someone get a vehicle loan in their name, and not put their name on the title? Example, I get the vehicle loan at my bank, but my father titles and insures the bike on his policy (with me on insurance of course).

Generally not, when the band does the loan the veh is registered to the person on the loan and the bank. If you wanted to go that route you should have your dad co-sign for you. If you are trying to get around paying high insurance rates...it depends on the company that you are with wether or not they would make you be on the insurance, but most would require that your father include/exclude you from the policy. If they dont know that you are the principal operator, you might be able to get away with it, but then thats just bad karma and it could bite you in the ass one day.

 

[Truck]

Well, my father titled the current bike I have and is the one who insures it, I just pay for the insurance. It's not bad karma when the insurance company knows thats why we do it. They had to help us out someway, or we would of pulled all our insurances from them and went to someone else. We spend lots of money with them each year, it's the least they can do when we rarely ever make claims.

Ahh the beauty of having an agent that wants your business. I am not attacking you...I am just saying. It's not the "proper" way to insure a vehicle, that doesn't mean that it can't be done. If your agent is ok with it, then it's on him.
