I've just asked Steve if he minds opening a poll in the same thread on upnorth, its valuable feedback to DUK and I actually suggested it to my local dealer 3 months ago when i spotted it on the US site.

I seems to have sorted itself now Jon :puzzled:

The POLL on Ducati Up North.

thanks , i was a bit slow off the mark there :)

It's only avilable on base models, not the S or R...

You can buy 05 model un reg for £7999 at Moto Rapido and some place have last years model 04 new un reg for under £7499.
0% interest is actualy costing you nearly £800 because bike is £8795.
Nothing is ever free

I noticed that too......They give with one hand and take with the other.... :(:sniff:

Not true, because on finance, the £8795 becomes negotiable and there is the potential to get a better price than a cash sale (due to dealer incentives for selling finance, unit bonuses etc). The £8k you would be sinking into the bike, you could invest. Why do you think there so many boxsters on the Road?

0% is king.

On a zero percent offer the dealer will be paying the finance company money, not the other way around. Its only when the interest rate starts going up that the dealer starts to make money on the deal. Hence you will struggle to pay anything other than the ticket price if you are looking for 0%.

As the offer is from Ducati UK, I would expect the price you negotiate with the dealer to be unaffected.
