flyinblind 0 #1 March 14, 2004 Anyone know of a place that finances gear? I'd be willing to pay a fairly ridiculous interest probably. :) blue skies, timmah cheers and blue skies, timmah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 March 14, 2004 Contact Mirage Systems or any Mirage dealer. You'll need good credit but they can get you financing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sortiarius 0 #3 March 14, 2004 Mirage Systems offers a financing program. I ordered a new Mirage, main, reserve and AAD. I got a good discount, and 1 year with no interest to pay off the entire setup. Customer service is great, and they have kept me informed on the progress of my new setup. Give Justin a call.

Zeemax 0 #6 March 14, 2004 Why not take out a credit card, or look at a loan? The rates will probably be better and you will have the choice of any product you want.Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetpig 0 #7 March 14, 2004 Pay Attention, or Pay more MONEY, your choice If you finance through mirage you will only get a nominal discount. Like 10 or 12% and you will pay through the nose with interest if you go one day over your time. I know for a fact that if they (the company they use for finance) will give you the credit you need for a complete system, than there is a credit card company out there that would extend you the same credit guaran-fuckin-teed, that is the way banks work. You would be better off buying it with a card you get expressly for this one purchase and going through the gear store of your choice, a big one with a good reputation, like square one or sunshine factory or gravity gear and getting the best discount like 15-25% meaning that you save 10-15%(depending on the product) and on 4 grand that is 4-500 dollars. Just do your research....it is very easy to get screwed by "great finance deals" it is the way American business culture keeps broke people broke and the rich folks rich, I'd ask the guy who got the "good discount" from mirage exactly what his discount was. and then see what you can get from a distributor. Then do the math yourself and see how much he spent for the right to pay high finance fees down the road. (most likely he lost at least 10% of the total price if he got a $4000 system for 10% off instead of 20% off as you could from a gear dealer that is $400 off the bat tacked on in the original purchase price) The statistics say that if you don't have the money to buy it now, you probably don't have the money to pay it off in the time afforded in the no interest terms of a no interest loan, that is exactly why they offer those loans. Sweet carrots you will never actually taste. That way you can also get the system of your choice (wings and a blade, javelin and a PD, Vector and an Icarus) or you can just buy something used from the dealer and are not stuck with the most expensive rig on the market.

flyinblind 0 #8 March 15, 2004 Yeah! Thanks for the advice. I'm definitely going to explore several avenues. The more I got to thinking about it, I can probably get my hands on some low interest credit cards to use and do like you said, get the gear I want. cheers and blue skies, timmah cheers and blue skies, timmah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
