Intresting debate........
Bit of a guessing game as to who is paying for the 0% finance, the dealer or DUK? Probably DUK on the current promotion.
IF it is then it gets paid for out of DUK's slice of the cake??
A "free" servicing deal might be a bit more painful for DUK as it will be the dealers who do the work and DUK would have to pay them to do it and pay for the parts out of any margin in the bike.
My shilling would be on 0% costing less than 2 years free servicing for whoever picks up the bill! What if some maniac buys a bike and racks up 24k miles in 2 years?? Thats four service!! Yer smallprint had better be small!!
Surely the personal reasons for going for 0% over any other deal vary depending on the individual. Each individual would have to weigh up their personal circumstances.
There are also the sellers incentive variables. It's not beyond the realms of possibilty that you will get a mega deal on a bike if the dealer/importer/whoever needs the sale to reach a target where some bonuses kick in.
0%, bike for 3 shillings and sixpence, certainly sir.....knowing that one sale is gonna guarantee a big payoff that more than outweighs the ludicrous deal you've been lucky enough to bag!!
