That is hilarious!!! LOL

Not to be a d!ck, but who in their right mind would finance their mods? It's bad enough financing a depreciating asset (the car).

This is something I've wanted to say for a while...

Moderators -- unless it's a group buy or a deal that is actually a deal, can we keep these solicitations to a minimum? Everyday Kronen is posting a solicitation for something or other in every single forum category (effectively spamming). Shouldn't these types of threads be in the classified or announcements sections? Is there a critical need to duplicate the thread in every single category? It would be a shame if it got to the point where every other thread was a sponsor trying to sell something. In a way, it's a bit patethic. You don't see the big companies like Kleemann, Evosport, etc. posting deals everyday... IMO it's getting a bit obnoxious. Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone, I just wanted to state my opinion because like I said, it would be a real shame to see this board go downhill.

Hmmm...... most of us are driving cars upwards of $90,000, I'd hope we wouldn't need to finance our mods otherwise we probably shouldn't be driving these cars but its a nice gesture nonetheless.

It's actually a smart business pitch when you think about it... Seems a lot of people on this board live over their heads - while this can get them in deeper, I'm sure they'll love every minute of it.

A lot of people every where live over there heads. I'm just curious to know what the interest rate will sky rocket to after three months of no interest.

I bet it will be

Laugh it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if it moved a few things off of the shelfs. Personally, I think this should only be considered if you have the $ amount ready in full. 3 months goes by quick. Which I'm sure they know.

I was going to buy my big screen TV with cash. However, Circut City offered 0% interest for like 13months I believe. I opted to throw them $200 every month. Same thing in the end. Only I didn't have to take a chunck out of my account all at once. That whole time I was sitting on their money I made a whopping $3-$10 in interest through my savings...LOL. What a finance whiz

It could be good for someone.....

Josh, a little fired-up today? LOL

I think Kronen would get a better response by just giving a 10% discount directly to the customer, which is likely the equivalent of what the finance company will charge them to provide three months of interest-free financing.

I agree 100%, there are other companies doing it as well and half the time they don't even include pricing.

I think McDonalds has a new incentive program where if you make 3 monthly big-mac payments on time, you get a free apple pie. I'm on my way to sign up right now!!!

I think it's a good idea. I am sure plenty of folks financed their cars, so why not finance the whole package?

No, that's Wendy's. Buy 3 spicy chicken meals and get a free frosty.

The problem is that you're NOT financing it. It's only a 3 month promotion. Then the whole thing is due (or I'm sure major int charges are incurred). In the case you state above, you should have the work done before you buy the car and roll it into the whole kit and kaboodle (wow, how the hell do you spell that?). I guess if you're waiting for your June bonus and you want the work done in May, it's a nice thing to have. But, overall it sounds more like a good way to score major interest on top of the hefty pricing.

Of course, what do I care? I won't be using it...

BTW, where'd Adam go during this whole discussion?

I'm not trying to feed the fire here, but why would you publish information that you can't back up or confirm? Why not wait until you have all of the information from your supplier until you can answer all the potential customers with serious (non Big Mac related) questions?

p.s. I'm not one of those potential customers...I, too, think the idea is ludicrous.

2014 E550 & some other stuff too...
I am not "dissing" you guys, but rather giving you some straight-forward feedback.

I think this is ridiculous to post such an offer. Some members have Hundreds of Thousands of dollars in cars here. Most finance companies offer 90 days same as cash to any retail vendor. This is almost an insult. I think you guys may want to do some market research on the demographics of a typical buyer of these kinds of cars. Your web site says you have been in business for 16 years, so I guess you should know the market by now. But seeing how everyone is responding, it seems that I am not alone. I see this kind of offer spammed all over here and wonder if I even want to deal with you guys. You may want to consider the potential buyers you might be turning off by posting an offer like this.

Post some prices or have some strong sales and post bottom line prices. That would make me buy. This is not a Honda Civic board. Some of this stuff you can make literally thousands of dollars on just "flipping" to members here. Post some prices with some major fat cut off.

Post your offer on Ferrarichat.com and see what kind of feedback you get.
