You are paying for the 96 months to get a lower monthly payment. I guarantee that 5.59 they offer is for loans of 48 months or less.

Too many people fall into the trap of trying to fit into a monthly payment vs. just buying what they can really afford.

Assuming a Street Glide (without freight, taxes, surcharge) is $21,999 60 @ 5.59% is $421.12 84 @ 10.89% is $375.41

However while you "save" almost $50 a month what you pay in total is 31534.44 across those 84 months compared to 25267.20 if you did it in 60.

I am holding out for 30 year fixed rate mortgages on Harley Davidson motorcycles so I can afford a CVO.

more than a few dealers recommend people use a 2nd mortgage to finance a RV so that they can write off the interest payment
