How did you pay for your most recent Goldwing?

[Cruiseman]

I have always paid cash for my bikes, but I am curious if I am in the minority. How did you folks pay for your bike?

[Westdc]

I could have paid cash (however) When I can use their money at 0% or 1.5% -I use theirs and paid it off in 12 months. Financed for 36 months.

[SBB]

Cash, never finance toys. And I love my toys.

When the idea of owning a Wing became a must have for me, I looked around and saw that I had a boat, snowmobile, and scooter that were not getting used nearly enough. I sold them all, plus the bike I was currently riding, and turned that into the cash to buy my Wing. The added bonus was that I cleared out a ton of space in the garage, which I have since filled with my Wing, a cargo trailer, and a Bunkhouse camper.

When I built my house in 1964 I took out a 20 year loan, and paid it off in 10 years. That was the only time I've ever borrowed money. It works for me. Be safe and enjoy the ride. Larry

Paid cash for mine.

I usually buy a clean, low mileage, used vehicles.

My current 2006 Level 3 GW I bought 3 yrs ago off Ebay with 21,000 miles nicely 'farkled' for just under $16000. (It was a retirement gift to myself). I pulled some of my IRA money and paid the extra 10% penalty to pay cash....In fact I pulled all of my IRA money over the past 3 years to pay off toys....Nice having toys and no payment...

sold my truck to get the cash.

[stepbill]

I was able to finance mine through Honda for the .99 percent rate for 36 months.

[genedjr]

Finance, 1.8% through credit union. But also sold Harley and dropped that cash on the loan.

Cashiers check seeing I live in CA and the bike was in Chicago.

Flew in rode home.

Can't stand making payments, Because if I croaked before the bike was paid off, that's one less headache my family wouldn't have to deal with afterwards.

Cash only for Toys

[Grandpa1]

Generally pay cash but I financed through Honda to get a $500 discount then paid it off when first bill came in.

[pearlblue1800]

My wife initially paid for it,(cash)
Though it was repaid, by her taking it out in trade

[Just Dave]

Traded in a paid for Road king that I had paid cash for and paid the difference in cash. I too am not going to finance a toy. I did it one time in the past and lost my ass on the deal when I sold it.

[JeffP]

Traded in my 1300 and the rest was cash. Retirement gift to moi.

[Papa smurf2]

Financed thru my Credit Union

[Johnharder]

240 crisp $100.00 bills, and I got a little change back....

[Summit1]

Traded the 2004 GL1800, plus a check for the difference. I promised myself I would never finance a bike... it is more than enough to be financing a new Jeep every so often.

Cash.
