Financing SC Kit

Zay370z · 02-28-2017, 01:39 AM

Do any sellers out there allow you to finance a SC kit?

James10694 · 02-28-2017, 03:38 AM

The only financing on high priced items I've seen is AAM on their TT kit. Nothing on superchargers

Will Stillen give you the same 0% on the replacement shortblock after their kit and tune blows up your motor?

If you have to finance it, chances are you can't afford it.

Exactly. Sure, you might be able to finance the kit. But what about the $3-5k in supporting mods, or the emergency fund if you have to replace the motor? It's a bad idea.

Unless you've got the money, but it's been invested somewhere and you're making money on it. Finance it at zero percent and pocket the difference. But I don't think that's what's going on here.

Sure Fire recipe for a Garage Queen. Second time I've seen this type of question and it still amazes me. I would really hate to see that because it would likely be a 3-400 car payment 2-300 performance finance then trying to save up for a possible build and R&R. That's a whole lot of Ramen and beans.

Good God... this is 90% of what is wrong with society. The idea that "I HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW!!!!!"

FFS, show some discipline and save your money. Besides... why would you SC a 2009/2010 vehicle?

Silverstone · 02-28-2017, 08:25 AM

Financing forced induction is a huge mistake.

If you need to finance it, chances are you cannot afford it. Nor can you afford the fun stuff that goes along with owning a non-factory FI car.

Why not?

Must have another vehicle as a minimum if you want to get boosted. Mine is in the shop 500 miles away right now! Then you need some pay-o-la to fix it when something breaks and something will break or will need upgrading!

It's not a requirement, but it makes life a hell of a lot easier when you don't have to pull an all-nighter in the garage Sunday night so you have a car to get to work on Monday.

I experienced this first hand doing a CSC replacement in my garage on jack stands over a weekend several years ago. Talk about a sigh of relief when the first test drive at 8 pm on Sun night went smooth.

I clearly remember a radiator install going about the same.

If you're trying to finance it at 0% because you rather make payments on it and accrue the interest on that amount of money you already have is one thing.

If you want to finance it because you don't already have the funds in your bank account is another and isn't recommended.

SouthArk370Z · 02-28-2017, 08:29 AM

My rule of thumb is to not go in debt for unnecessary items. If you think a supercharger is a necessity, you need to rearrange your priorities.

As has been pointed out already, the cost of the SC is just the beginning. Then there's installation, engine tuning, maintenance, backup transportation, etc, etc, etc.
