I always say no to that. Am a firm believer that that zero zero stuff is not free. :h

If you got the best deal with that offer you'd be foolish not to take advantage of it. The money you would have spent earns some interest and pay the loan off when it comes due. But it all depends on whether you got the best deal you could get.

With $1.5mil, if I want an offroad RV, I'm getting a Unimog based RV. Probably a custom made one. Of course, this is an overpriced joke.

Pics of my BIL checking out a Unimog at a recent Outdoor & Recreation Show (RV Show) in Moss Vale, NSW Australia ...





I have no idea what it's selling price was but I doubt it was anywhere near $1.5 US ... sure was impressive though, just like all the other outback equipment we saw that day that would make that Earthroamer look like child's play. When it comes to true off road equipment Australians have it nailed. :W

Side topic. Tried to pay cash at CW but tcouldnt take it. The manager didn't know what to do with the Benjamins. That was the deal we negotiated. So Amex to the rescue and it cost Marcus 3 points to pass it through the CC...smh. Imagine how much $$ is lost across the network that way. Marcus should let me run CW. It would run like clock and be more profitable...

Usually, you can get a discount with cash over the zero what-ever plan, so zero what-ever usually means a higher price was paid up front to compensate for the lost interest.

To the original question: If you can afford it, you can afford to pay cash.

NOTHING about it screams $1.5 Million-----------NOTHING

$300K Down payment.........and 1 yr wait time.

This just proves that having lots of money has NOTHING to do with good sense.

That's my own motto with toys like RV's but that doesn't work for some folks and I understand why.
