Hi,

i wondered if any bank offered a low interest loan for buying motorcycles such as Harleys ?
Maybank's rate is non negotiable almost 10% interests (variable) over 7 years, which is kinda expensive.

Shop around with other banks.

I think it’s normal due to high rate of default and price depreciation.

If you have other assets, why not pledge it as collateral or refinance to get better rates?

Thanks ! Do you think they'd accept a 2020 car as collateral ? What kind of rate do you think one could get with collaterals, such as a house, investments, ... ? I always wondered.
Does using a collateral involves changing the owner of the item, or just signing an agreement ?

Why stretch it if you cant afford it?

Multiple reasons, the money paid cash for the motorcycle would do way better if invested (4%++ vs typical 2.5% loan interests), and also i can take a loan for a toy like this, but not for other kinds of payments (months rent advance payment, private hospital treatments, ...). It just seems like the smart thing to do, to take a loan if it's possible.

AEON credit. U should ask the dealer they would know. Conventional bank don’t give good motorbike loans.

Also do I know how much is insurance for these bikes ?

AEON offers the same rate, 5% fixed aka 10% variable, it's high risk for the bank && high cost for the consumer. Perhaps i'll just take a 1 year loan and be done with it, instead of paying it over 7 years as i'd do with low interests.

Insurance seems to be around 3k for a 80k bike, not sure though.

Thansk ! I'll just reduce the tenure, seems like the best choice i can get will still be ~75% more expensive than a car loan.

No banks will take a car as collateral.

Property can be refinanced.

Your investment portfolio can be pledged. However, usually, you need to have at least priority banking status. Depends on investment types, can borrow up to 95% if in timed deposits (FD). For equity usually up to 50% only.

Interest can be as low as 1% pa.

The bank still makes any profit at 1% ?
