sounds like a deal

so i go into a harley dealer today to get the numbers for the iron 883 that i want to buy. to my suprise the dealer actually has the bike for me to check out and it honestly looks pretty rad in person. in a second of walking in the salesfreak is on me, using all sorts of slang to guage my persona, droping classics like "pretty dope machine eh?" "rad pipes man." all the while trying to talk me into getting a $2500 power upgrade on the bike, etc... etc... Tired of hearing the nonsense i say "i am just looking for the bike as it is, no extra stuff." i see the bike's price tag says $9900 on it so i ask how much would i be looking at per month for the bike, with $0 down? he asks, "for 6 years?" "sure" i say, as i primarily want to know the finance rate and payments per month. he runs in the back to "talk with the manager." when he returns dood pulls me into his office and states that the cost per month would be around $350 per month. "$350" i ask, "for how long?" "thats for our 6 year finance term" he says. well, lets break that down $350 per month for 6 years is $25,200. Yes, $25,200 for a $9,900 bike, so $15,300 of intrest! i laugh and say i'll get back to him, while he's all like "better act fast man, it's not gonna last."

$15,000 of intrest, its a deal!
