Default buying a bike ?'s....

Im just wondering is what kind interest rate would a 19 year old get financed at for a bike ? Will they financed a used bike ?…I know the interest will be higher since it is a used bike but I really don’t want to buy a new bike for the fact that ive never rode before….any places you would recommend? Thanks a lot Julian

Buy a POS bike for like $2k cash since you've never ridden before.

OR if your really stuck on buying a new/used bike, instead of financing at a dealership take out a personal loan at your bank. That way your interest rate should be lower, you should have a higher chance at getting approved(due to your age, but credit history might be iffy also because of your age)and if its a personal/signature loan you can use it for whatever and wont have to carry insurance on it. Now I know when you buy a new bike most dealers wont require to you purchase insurance, but for your age and a used bike Im not sure. Taking out a personal loan from your bank is almost the same as walking in with cash.

good luck, youll need it.

when I was 19 and I can guarantee I had better credit backing me I was still denied.

REason being is not long term existing accounts. why would they trust someone who has only had a credit card for a year.

Listen to this... my credit card with my bank.. the limit was 2300. I asked to increase it, they denied me (Good credit, just not old enough). Yet, one week later, I get approved at the dealership for up to $11,500.

You are correct. It was 9,400 out the door. They just APPROVED me for it. I guess so that I would go buy a 1000 or something. I don't know. Cause isn't the new 1000 around 11,000 before taxes?

you are correct, its MUCH harder to get a personal loan than it is to get any other kind of loan....a bike loan is harder then a car just for the fact that the banks look at it like a 2nd mode of trasportation or a toy thats not needed...and if u get in financial trouble, your more then likly to not pay for your toys then your main mode of transportation....I am 22 now but when I was 19 I was approved for 7000.00 but that was with putting 1500.00 down....now at 22, I got a 29,000 bike loan with 4.49% interest...its all about your past credit history and your score and your debt to income ratio....good luck with it though...I had a buddy who had to put down like 4gs and he still got 19% interest...fuck that...
