Common mistakes motorcycle buyers make when looking for a motorcycle loan Autos Articles | November 12

Whether interest rates are high or low or it?s the end of a model year with lots of incentives, motorcycle buyers tend to make the same mistakes when shopping for a motorcycle loan. Here are four common mistakes motorcycle buyers make with motorcycle loans.
Shopping for a motorcycle before shopping for a motorcycle loan.
Many motorcycle buyers enter the showroom looking for a motorcycle before they determine how much money a motorcycle lender is willing to loan to them for the purchase of a motorcycle. There is no need to shop for a $20,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle, if a lender is only willing to provide a loan amount of $10
,000.
Additionally, once motorcycle buyers enter the showroom slick salespeople often pressure them into motorcycle loans with much higher internet rates than they could have gotten had they shopped for a motorcycle loan at a bank, credit union or online. Salespeople do not like motorcycle buyers to leave the dealership to get a motorcycle loan. In the salespersons mind this only increases the chance of loosing a sale and commission. Therefore, salespeople frequently try for a quick sale which normally results in pushing motorcycle buyers to get motorcycle financing at the dealership.
The bottom-line is that it is always best to shop for a motorcycle loan before entering the showroom.
Diving into the unknown motorcycle loan.
Motorcycle buyers often jump into motorcycle loans that they do not completely understand or may not be the best alternative for them. For instance
, in today?s age manufacturers frequently run credit card motorcycle loan promotions on their private-label credit cards. But these promotions typically offer a low interest rate for a short term like 12 or 24 months and have a much higher interest rate after the short promotional term. On a credit card promotion if motorcycle buyers can not afford to pay off the loan during the short promotion period, then they are typically better taking a slightly higher interest rate on an installment motorcycle loan for a longer term.
Borrowing too much.
The most common mistake the first time motorcycle buyer makes in not having a clear sense of how much motorcycle they can afford. This is especially true for young motorcycle buyers who look to buy the top sport bikes that cost up to $10,000 - $15,000. What they fail to realize is that financing a $10
,000 - $15,000 motorcycle can stretch them to thin, resulting in them having little cash to enjoy themselves and the motorcycling lifestyle. They may also have too little cash to pay for insurance, maintenance
, registration or new accessories for their motorcycle.
Not asking the right questions.
The first warning sign that motorcycle buyers should see is that if they do not understand the type of motorcycle loan, then they should be sure to ask a lot of questions.
Here are some good questions to ask:
Is the interest rate fixed or variable? If fixed how long will it be fixed for? Are there circumstances that can make the interest rate on the motorcycle loan change in the future? What happens if a payment is 30 days late? Does the interest rate increase? What happens if a payment is 60 days late? Does the interest rate increase? How long is the term on the motorcycle loan? If the loan is an installment loan, does it use rule of 78 or simple interest? (Simple interest is always better because it does not penalize the motorcycle buyer if the loan is paid off early.) What is the down payment requirement to get the motorcycle loan? Is full coverage insurance required? How much is registration and are these fees included in the motorcycle loan? Are there any administrative fees to get the motorcycle loan and if so how much are the fees?
Overall, motorcycle buyers can avoid these common mistakes by spending a little extra time focusing on shopping for a motorcycle loan and asking lots of questions.

From the day the man of her dreams comes into her life, a girl is waiting for the moment he drops to his knee to ask her to marry him. This is a day that most girls or women have dreamed of, getting their engagement rings.
Women are sly too about making sure that their intended knows what type of ring they like. They will press their noses to jewelry store windows or make sure their best friends know what style they like. There is hope that the guy is paying attention to what she likes so that she can be thrilled when that important moment comes. Of course she will be thrilled with anything since it is about the love, but the right ring is not a bad perk.
When purchasing the ring a man worries about the four C's of picking diamonds. Cut
, clarity, carat, and color are the foundation for how much a ring costs. The cut is the way the diamond is cut. The usual cuts are round, oval
, marquise, emerald, and pear. But today the diamond cutters are trying new ways to explode the brilliance of this stone.
The clarity and color are regarding if there are any imperfections to the stone. They rate the diamonds from flawless to having inclusions you can see with your eye. The more inclusions the less clear the stone, which will affect the price. The color is marked from D and goes up. D is colorless which makes it far more valuable. However
, there are colored diamonds that can be worth a lot of money and bring a new look to any ring.
