Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share I think when people say cash they mean they do not take out credit to pay for it, don't think they all walk round with suitcases of cash. Eft/cheque card/top up credit card, all considered cash Yep - they mean they don't make debt to buy their bikes, but the actual transaction involves a CC.

patches Posted October 25, 2012 Share I can't believe how many of you actually pay cash for your bikes . Like wow,!!! I prefer EFT. I will never carry that amount of cash around with me. haha! funny enough I paid for my 1st Morewood with an envelope full of cash. Since then, 5 of the 6 bikes I've bought were EFT, one was an insurance payout which I had to pay in R470 (so I swiped my cheque card). But all 7 (since 2010)... 'cash' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madvics Posted October 25, 2012 Share Cash, otherwise layby. If I cant afford the bike at the time I put a deposit down and pay it off as I've got spare cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudoJ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Cash and CC paid off very quickly for most things. If something big needs to be upgraded fixed and the time is right, either 13th cheque or SARS refund. At the moment I'm saving towards an XT brake set....almost there Edited October 25, 2012 by RudoJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted October 25, 2012 Share I wonder if someone will actually admit to a 2nd bond to finance a bike?Exactly my point in the "cost of bikes" thread. Nobody is going to admit to going into debt to buy a bike, but we all know that lot's do.The only way you will get accurate info of purchasing habits is from the shop floor of a big supplier like the Lab. They would be able to tell you exactly what the numbers are.My guess is at least half of the +30k bikes are bought on some form of credit, and that even in the lower price bracket, a lot are bought on credit card budget plans.
