BaGearA Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Franny, if that word didn’t trigger you, I wouldn’t use it. You should know me by now ????
BigDL Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Was thinking about bicycles this morning and finance. Unless I buy a Tesla, I am unlikely to finance a car again (if I ever have my own one again). However, if your bicycle is your primary source of transport, what is the difference between financing a car or financing a bike?

However, if your bicycle is your primary source of transport, what is the difference between financing a car or financing a bike?My bike/s aren't my primary source of transport. But, my car is paid off and my riding is my primary source of sanity, health and wealth. So if there were a dream bike I'm looking at, I'd consider financing a portion.

If you don't have dstv, way can you not spend that money on something that you can show for it after a year or 3. I don't think it is a clear cut situation as people are trying to make it. As long as you are saving for retirement, have a place to stay, food in your belly, and your kids school fees are paid. Why not? You put the work in to earn the money. You know how much time you spend riding. If a nice bike gets you of your arse and looking after your own health, instead of watching sport that has no effect on your life directly, why not? And like i said before, paying the bank is not a choice. Saving R45k a month over the same period is impossible for most people.

The same cannot be said for a financed car/bike/house/etc. It's for that reason alone I try my best not to finance anything unless absolutely necessary. A bike will never fall into the category of absolutely necessary for me (not a source of transport for me, purely a toy). But that's just me, doesn't really bother me if someone else decides to finance a bike.
