I'm just wandering how you all financed your quads? The interest on the Star Card seems way too high at 18.5%.

Here are the three best options:
1. If you own a home, a home equity line will allow you to get around 9%-9.5% interest and all interest paid is tax deductible.
2. If you don't own a home, but have good credit-go to www.getmycard.com. Capital one offers a 9.9% fixed rate on this card.
3. Join a credit union. Most offer around 8.5%-9.5% interest rates on new ATV's and are easier to qualify for than the credit card may be.

ALSO don't forget the best way to pay:CASH!!!

VERY good advice from Schmudit...And if you have to finance make a big down payment...the money you save on interest can be used to by accesories for the quad!

I went with the starcard, but it was when they had a special of like 6% for twelve months. It goes up to normal rates after that, but I am making bigger payments and plan on applying some tax refund and savings to pay it off before it does.
