Bobcatpat Posted October 3, 2008 #1 Posted October 3, 2008 I decided not to buy 2007 venture for $11,000.00. If anyone else here is interested in this bike, it is an awesome deal. The bike is blue, with only 503 miles on it! The bike is in Florida. If your interested, let me know, I can give you info on it.
Mariner Fan Posted October 3, 2008 #2 Posted October 3, 2008 So are you leaning towards getting a Harley now?
ventureinbc Posted October 3, 2008 #4 Posted October 3, 2008 Are you kidding??? What is it about that 5 year / drive shaft / water cooled / longer wheelbase / more comfort space bigger bags, for your pasenger / tons of horsepower with the ability to slam / lower your ride... remove the rear trunk if you like the 'streetglide' look for 11g's ???? save you what?...10'gs or more for a HD?... You will ride this bike 2 years for free at that price!... John 2003 RSVM...
Mariner Fan Posted October 3, 2008 #5 Posted October 3, 2008 Well take your time and figure out what bike is perfect for you. A lot of guys have bought bikes and have been disappointed in them including those that bought Ventures. Lucky for me, I really like my Venture! Good luck in your search.

The bike is blue, with only 503 miles on it! The bike is in Florida. If your interested, let me know, I can give you info on it. Interesting decision - that was a sweet deal if the bike had never been down. I recently sold a 2007 blue/black with 13,000 on the clock for $13,800. Yeah, it had a few extras on it, and MY magic touch , but sure makes $11,000 at 500 miles look pretty sweet! Goose
Bobcatpat Posted October 4, 2008 Author #7 Posted October 4, 2008 One problem I have is that I have financing avail through yamaha credit, however, I have to purchase the bike from a yamaha dealer. this guy is not a yamaha dealer. So I may buy the new 07 at a dealer. Anyone have any good ideas for me?
Bobcatpat Posted October 4, 2008 Author #8 Posted October 4, 2008 Does anybody know the best source for a loan to buy from a used car dealer? I would probably change my mind and buy the bike for $11,000 if I could arrange good financing. Help appreciated.

I borrowed the money for my bike from my local credit union. Got good rates too. Hmm, well since a few banks have failed that might not be so true anymore.

flb_78 Posted October 4, 2008 #11 Posted October 4, 2008 If you have to borrow money for a vehicle, you can't afford it.
Mariner Fan Posted October 4, 2008 #12 Posted October 4, 2008 If you have to borrow money for a vehicle, you can't afford it. I'm "affording" mine just fine!
Leadwolf56 Posted October 4, 2008 #13 Posted October 4, 2008 If you have to borrow money for a vehicle, you can't afford it. Then you'd never have it. I'm affording mine just fine too.
flb_78 Posted October 4, 2008 #14 Posted October 4, 2008 I have mine. I didn't finance it. Cash is King, Debt is Dumb. buy used, save money or in this case, buy a little more used bike.
hipshot Posted October 4, 2008 #15 Posted October 4, 2008 I have mine. I didn't finance it. Cash is King, Debt is Dumb. buy used, save money or in this case, buy a little more used bike. some folks do just fine, "making payments", others don't have to go that route. just jt

I would probably change my mind and buy the bike for $11,000 if I could arrange good financing. Help appreciated. Man I would contact some banks....$11,000.00 and 500 miles.....well your nuts not to go for it if you can find some $$$$$. You will save what $5 to 6K on the purchase, and your payment will be what $100 less a month. What am I doing, I'm trying to talk a guy into buying a Venture at a great price instead of a newly designed 09 Ultra.......LOL I love my Hadley, but the Venture is a sweet ride for the money. And it's easier to change the fluids and filter on the Venture. But the Hadley handles like a dream in the twisties. Be nice now folks I spoke nicely about the Venture.
spotsy Posted October 4, 2008 #17 Posted October 4, 2008 So Bob, did you actually look at the bike? Thanks.

Hey Bobcatpat you can always try Triple A thay do financing at a pretty good rate, if you are a member it can save you from .25% to .75% on your loan. It may be worth while to become a member.
gibvel Posted October 4, 2008 #19 Posted October 4, 2008 I have mine. I didn't finance it. Cash is King, Debt is Dumb. buy used, save money or in this case, buy a little more used bike. Hmmmm some of us think running a car tire on a motorcycle is dumb. nough said?
big_mike Posted October 4, 2008 #20 Posted October 4, 2008 just made my last payment :mo money:what a good feeling if i would have waited until i had the cash i'd still be riding my 86
Squidley Posted October 4, 2008 #21 Posted October 4, 2008 That's easy, get financing from another source. There are plenty of places that will lend you money. I borrowed the money for my bike from my local credit union. Got good rates too. Hmm, well since a few banks have failed that might not be so true anymore. I just refinanced my '08 through a local Credit Union and went froma 9.9% finance to a 7.75. The Yamaha finance SUCKS! I have good credit and as usual I couldn't be approved for the best rate...go figure That is a great deal on that bike and I would efinitely look at going through a CU. I took $150.00 and put $100 in a checkibng account there and $50 in a svings and filed for the loan while I did it all. 1 day later it was come in and sign the paperwork...that easy BTW Mike...congrats on the payoff, now more monies to ride
frogmaster Posted October 4, 2008 #22 Posted October 4, 2008 OMG if I have seen this Bike 4 weeks ago I would have bought it in a HEART BEAT 11k w/ 500miles it a GREAT DEAL. Now I'm stuck with my Brand New 2008 RSV Black Cherry for $16,500.00 at 4.75% Home Equity Loan....STILL HAPPY .
Bobcatpat Posted October 4, 2008 Author #23 Posted October 4, 2008 Bike is still available if anyone wants it.
gibvel Posted October 4, 2008 #24 Posted October 4, 2008 Bike is still available if anyone wants it. Love too, but too far away for me. BTW, what color is it?
