Default harley discriminating against foreigners

Long story short. They ran my credit and they wouldnt finance me on ANY motorcycle because I was only a "temporary resident". I've lived here most of my life and ill be a citizen pretty soon. It Wasnt a problem with yamaha nor toyota before....even when I had bad credit. I have a decent 730 score right now.

For fear that you'll leave after securing the loan and it'll be unpaid. Great first post, BTW.

Post #1 and already whining. This won't end well for you.

If you have good credit, go get a loan from a bank or credit union. Harley finance is doing just like anyone else would. Keep the risk of loan default low. Besides... the terms of a loan from a bank or credit union may be more favorable.

I would finance you either and I don't consider that discriminatory. I consider that smart business.

Lol.


Yeah i know its silly, most other places have no problem. And I was shopping around for loans. Wanted to see what they would offer. I can get a loan from my bank and credit union without problem.

Just wanted to add more fire to the inefficiencies of harleys, and harley related things.

So reapply when you get permanent resident status. I don't see any (illegal) discrimination here at all.

So your first post was "to add more fire to the inefficiencies of harleys", maybe you should stick with Yamahas.

No illegal discrimination perhaps, but Its still antiquated thinking. Also when I mean ill be permanent resident soon, I mean im about a year and a half. Credit union still seems to be the best answer. A dozen other places will finance me, but not harley. Antiquated thinking.

Wow you sure showed them who's boss, what's your next clever plan are you going to point out the inefficiencies of McDonalds when they refuse to give you a Big Mac in exchange for an I.O.U ?
