Hypothetically speaking, If you were offered the option to lease a Slingshot for 24 or 36 months rather than buying would you be interested?
Perhaps because Harley has several models that gives customers the possibility to change the model every 2 years / 3 years to try a new model and lose less money!Thanks for the opinions guys... was just curious as some programs out there exist for motorcycles like they do for cars. Harley just rolled out a lease program and I heard it was very successful.
I have personally never leased anything in my life but many of my friends and family lease all of their vehicles... They like always driving something new and under warranty without the hassle of trading in or privately selling.Leasing isn't for me for the SS but I wouldn't count out the feature for other folls. This could spawn a new 3 wheeled business for Polaris with enclosed models and such so leasing may be a good option for those who like to trade and get something different/better/newer at the dealership.
Harley has LOTS of models and leasing makes really good sense there. I am surprised it wasn't always an option.
Good post. It may give some folks a better comparison and might sway them.I have personally never leased anything in my life but many of my friends and family lease all of their vehicles...

A rough guess on the math would be something like 1k down and 200/month for 24 months with an option to buy at the end based on a 20k unit... buying the same thing puts you at about 350/month for 5 years with the current Polaris financing offers.
Yeah much easier to wrap around the idea when you see numbers... just keep in my these are by no means perfectly accurate, just a ball park.Good post. It may give some folks a better comparison and might sway them.

With the Polaris offered plans, 72 months...350/month for 5 years...damn...Canada sound like 525/month...
I know T-Rex can be go up to 15 years for a bank financing...what is the maximum you can go for the SS SL?
Out of curiosity what are the credit score targets for each tier?
The finance companies use a Tier system to rank applications... sometimes if credit score or income/debt is good enough to be approved by not great the basically come back with a worse offer.What is TIER 1-2-3?!
