Don't buy something that you can't afford. You will just lose it and sink you credit rating further. Start a bank/credit union savings account. When you have the amount you need go get it. If you can make the loan payment you have the same capacity to pay your savings account the same amount.

I know those guys they financed my mobile home way back when I was in the service and just starting out, didn't have a pot to **** in or a window to throw it out of. Lots of good memories though.

Greetings,

Good luck finding a subprime lender. Unlike a car that is easily repo'd, a lender knows the risks are higher and they'll never receive the collaterial if the loan goes into default. I am not aware of any out there anymore.

Thank you Will and Icewater. I tried looking Greentree up and the only info I could find was on a mortgage company.

@lh4x4, I am looking for help for my customers and not myself

Sub-Prime lending on motorcycles is no longer a good business.

In fact.. it never was good business...As stated above much harder to retrieve the collateral.

The man is not looking for advice, he's looking for finance companies to help his dealership sell more motorcycles. Are you guys missing something or what???

Default Sub Prime lender

...consider contacting Santander Consumer (A Spanish Bank - 7 -8 largest in the world)... they're aggressively trying to play in the US market...
