I'm going to be purchasing a sportsbike and I was just curious, will I be required to provide a down-payment to finance it from the dealership? Do they even do this? Should I provide one anyways if given the option? for instance to lower my monthly payments?

Pros? cons?

Any and all information about this subject is appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, you can't drive it off the lot without a down payment. Pay as much as you can

If ur planning on financing a down payment is usually required

The minimum DP is usually determined by ur credit rating, lenth of time financed & what payment amounts u want

The Bigger the DP u put down the better the intrest rate/payment u get & the sooner u can pay it off

How sure about this are you..?

its pretty standard unless they specifically state you don't need one, but that is usually rare and they will destroy you with interest rate
