How can or know if I’m getting a good deal when it comes to financing a new turbo s 4? Is it the same with financing a car at a dealership?

I use my RZR 5-6 days a week, when I got the new one, I didnt want to be without a ride.

The dealership was able to get me a 6 months 0% interest loan with a good down payment , so I could get the new RZR first , build it up , and then sell off my old RZR without taking lowball offers.
If I were to happen to go over 6 months, the rate is 9.99% though. Youd want to find a better rate through a CU or something if you werent able to pay it off .

Is there any hidden fees to look out for?

I’m not sure when, but recently thy change the rules on financing utv’s. The loan will fall under a personal loan, with higher interest rates.

Rates vary for UTV purchases and depends heavily on your personal financial situation. UTV's are seen as luxury items now, don't forget insurance coverage too needed in most states. Best rates I've seen are for short term loans, longer loans they'll charge more due to risk of damage/failure. Can always shop around at banks and credit unions, have them do soft pull on credit checks so it doesn't effect your credit score overall and have them do estimated loan options to select from.

You can always use whatever the dealership has for options and then call your credit union or whoever and they will buy the loan and usually at a better interest rate. Right now lending institutions are looking for new loans. I had a CU call me and ask if they could buy 2 of my other loans and give me better interest rates. After I asked about fees and early payoff charges which there were none I said you bet you can save me money.

Everything is spelled out in the contract. If there is a penalty for early payoff/termination,sometimes seen with special financing offers from a dealership, then it will be in the contract.

Many times, but not always, lower interest rates are "bought down", but the dealer. The wise man asks the dealer if there is an additional discount available for not taking the lower or zero % program. As a general rule of thumb you're better off taking the discount and using the lowest rate you can secure on your own. Not always, but usually.

Factory's sometime fund their own zero percent programs just to help move cars. Real factory funded is more common at end of year, but anytime a factory has to dump excess capacity they'll do a 0%.

What rate you will get depends on the FI. Some will consider make a loan under their car program, just as they would for a motorcycle, snowmobile, or etc. Others will insist it's on a personal line of credit (higher interest rate).

I rarely financy my toys, but the few times I have I've just taken a loan on one of my vehicles instead.

Luck to you.

One way to know if you're getting a good deal is to check the annual percentage rate (APR) and compare it to the average for car loans in your area. You can also check if there are any hidden fees or penalties. It's also a good idea to talk to a mortgage advisor or financial professional for advice. Keep in mind that financing a car at a dealership may not always be the best option, as they may have higher rates or fees. It's always a good idea to shop around and compare rates from different lenders, including banks and credit unions. And also keep in mind that Mortgage Advice Cambridge is always available to help you with your financial decisions.
