If this is using the Polaris Star card, I'd say no.

Read the reviews of them. (google Polaris Star card)

If your credit is good, look for a Visa or Mastercard with a 0% introductory fee. Or, get the Star card, then find a Visa/Mastercard that offers a 0% balance transfer.

credit is good, no star card, trying to find out if that is just a ploy like car dealership's use to bait new buyers on a low monthly payment and them stick em with a pointy high dollar payment in a few months.

yhea its a bait move, low monthy and after 18-24 months most of the manufacturer cards bump up the payment. On my wolvy my payment is only 69 a month but if I only pay the minumum after 24 months it jacks up to like 130.00 a month. So I pay 108.00 a month right now and when I get a raise again ill raise my pament again.

so no matter what your going to pay more than you expect. I can live with that as long as my payments dont go too much over 100, that seems like a comfortable number that i can live with thanks for the reply.....



P.S. Ctate i see your waiting on the install for your 488 kit, have you already dropped the bike off?

no I will find out today when they can get to the cylinder machine work to get it in. When they have time to work on the cylinder I will tear the bike down to get started.

i think on mine it was 0/0 payments and interest for 6 months and then they nail you for 24% i think. its only like 3.9% for what mauybe 2 yrs then really jumps up so what your self and read the fine print and ask for much more your payment is going to go up after the low % rate is gone.

Well I put the two Sp 450 on the Polaris card only to get a better deal!!!....The dealer gets a incentive back if the customer uses the Polaris card.....MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET!!

But when the first payment came in a paid it off fully!!..

Yes, I know what your thinking!!.....Not everybody can do that..RIGHT.......Correct even me!!...LOL..

I worked the price into the Home Mortgage Loan.......So the increase was very little!!

That's why I plan to keep them for a very long time..........So we will all see how the Sportsman 450 will hold out!!!!.........LOL..........Caper..............
