Honda is running,or was running a 0 down no payments for three months. You can finance for a max of two years at around 6-8%. Avg price is usually $1,100 excluding sales tax, financing charge, and set up charges. So if you put 200 down up front I don't see a prob with getting approved unless the credit history is really bad. I know this because I'm a proud owner of a 2003 fiddy that I just pickd up today.:D

It's not up to Honda. It's up to the company that does their financing. If you have lower than average credit, don't bother trying to beat the price down. Like streetweapon said. Get a part time job and just pay cash for it. Green backs talk.

Good luck

This could be a good way to "build" your credit. You should be able to get one of these for $1200 OTD. tax/set-up included. Honda is offereing these I believe for about $29/month financing. Get co-signed. Get a Job. And pay $100-150 a month. Pay it off. and BAM. You've started a credit history. And hopefully a good one at that!

uhhh....got some bad news for ya, brah. If you couldn't wheelie your cr80, you're going to have a hell of a time trying to ride wheelies on that fifty. But who knows, just my opinion, I can wheelie a two stroker like nothing, but I'm still having trouble on the fifty

1st off i never said i CANT stunt my cr80, I said it's hard stunting a 2 stroke as in 12's and slow wheelies because of the insane torque. i can wheelie it long as hell. i want the fiddy to around on!
