Careful Tips for Choosing Leasing for Motorcycle Loans

After you finish researching the motorbike that you are going to buy, of course the next phase is to make a purchase transaction. But don't be in a hurry, this purchase step is not the end of your journey to owning a vehicle. Especially if you are going to do credit.

Careful Tips for Choosing Leasing for Motorcycle Loans

This step is not as easy as determining the lowest down payment number and the lightest monthly credit fee. From the information we extracted from the official Honda dealer website, Nambo Motor Tangerang, we explain several steps to guide you in finding the best credit.

Study the Credibility of the Leasing Company Well

The first thing you should do when you want to choose a lease is to know well the leasing or financing company that will provide credit for your motorbike, usually they will also have an offer website. Therefore, you must also pay attention to matters relating to credibility and also the various benefits that you can later get from the credit application. 

Do not rush to accept various suggestions or recommendations from various dealers. As a potential customer, you must also be able to know with certainty and clarity about the performance of the credit facility. For example, by looking for complaints from credit users. Motorcycle dealers also usually provide this information to consumers.

Ease of Payment

When making an advance payment transaction, make sure the money is paid to the company account. Usually the down payment is paid to the dealer's official account, not to the salesperson's personal account, yes. Or you can also make a payment when your motorbike arrives at your house like the Honda Nambo Motor dealer does. This process will be safer for consumers and consumers will have no difficulty when making payments.

In this case, make sure that the various payment systems provided by the company can also be used quickly and easily. So it doesn't take up time and energy. Mainly, in order to minimize the possibility of late payments.

Choose Credit According to Your Financial Condition

There will be various kinds of marketing strategies that can be carried out by the leasing party so that consumers are interested in doing motorbike loans. One way is to provide very attractive offers for purchases on credit.

But don't be easily influenced by this, especially if the leasing party offers credit with a very light down payment that can even be paid in installments. This will certainly be very interesting, look very helpful and look very profitable to you. In fact, there could be other regulations that could end up harming your other installments.

Make sure the amount of installments will not interfere with your finances. Also make sure that during the installment period, there is insurance embedded. Whether it's motor insurance, or life insurance for you as a customer.

PT Piaggio Indonesia (PID) officially sells Vespa 946 Christian Dior. There are no ceremonial launch sessions, but the units are already on display in the motoplex 4 brand's premium dealer network. For those who are interested in buying it, according to Vespa salespeople in Jakarta the dowry installed is Rp465 million OTR. While for the Bali area the price is more expensive Rp10 million or become Rp475 million OTR.

Vespa 946 Christian Dior

In addition to the fantastic price, the method of purchase is also unusual. Salespeople say if interested in buying this motorcycle must pass the bundling method. This is a marketing strategy to group products into a single unit. From the salesperson's statement, the terms of buying this bike you must first bring Aprilia products or the new Moto Guzzi can get the green light to have a Vespa 946 Christian Dior. How much money should be prepared?

Okay, in the first article we have discussed if the choice is to buy the Moto Guzzi V7 III, approximately the money that must be spent is Rp940 million. Well now we will calculate if the option is to buy Aprilia as a condition of bundling.

Based on the price taken from the official website of Aprilia Indonesia, the most affordable model is the Shiver 900. The OTR price is Rp555 million. So after being priced at OTR Vespa 946 Christian Dior for the Jakarta area you have to spend Rp1,020 billion.

"Currently only Motoplex 4 brand dealers sell Vespa 946 Christian Dior. Here (Jakarta) happens to be sold out, maybe in Surabaya, Yogyakarta, or Denpasar is still there," he said, when contacted on Monday (27/12).

Cheaper than IU?

Before the bike was officially sold by PID, the units that roamed the streets were the result of purchases from General Importers (IU). From our search, the selling price is Rp950 million to Rp1.35 billion.

 If we analyze, the option of buying through an authorized dealer is still more profitable. So with prices similar to IU you will have 2 motorcycles at once, namely Vespa 946 Christian Dior, Aprilia or Moto Guzzi.

But it should be noted, based on information of Vespa salespeople in Jakarta, the OTR price of Rp 465 million is only a vehicle unit that is not included with accessories such as rear bags and special Helmet Dior.

Specifications of Vespa 946 Christian Dior

Speaking of engines, Vespa 946 Christian Dior is immersed in a pacemaker similar to the Armani 946 and RED. The frame carries a 150cc engine, 4 valves, single cylinder, air conditioning, and injection-controlled. Vespa claims, this bike can reach a top speed of up to 96 km / h.

For similar dimensions, Vespa 946 Christian Dior has a width of 736.6 mm, a length of 1,778, a wheelbase of 1,397 mm, and a seat height to a surface of 805 mm. As for the features, this bike is equipped with LED lights, 2-channel ABS braking, and ASR traction control.

This bike is the result of a collaboration between Piaggio Vespa and the famous French brand Christian Dior. The main factor that makes it special is the touch of detail and also accessories worked by Dior couture. By design, this bike does have a luxury look compared to other Vespa models.

Special decals are also present on this bike, for example in the saddle casing sector decorated with Dior Oblique motifs that were then worldwide in 1967 and directed by Marc Bohan. Then some nyentrik accessories such as helmets, and saddle bags that are also decorated with Dior motifs.
