Think they ignore the mileage clause if you trade up after 3 yrs?

£2500 down, BMW chuck in another £500 to make £3k down
Free BMW Nav 6 Sat Nav this week worth £500-£600 (sell on eBay)
£6000 final payment
4000 miles pa
To cover final payment I will keep £4K from a recent bike sale in a bond for 3 years
Initial £2500 deposit comes from bike sale monies too
So only costing me the rental
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have

Tip to re-ignite the flame..

Sell everything including the shed, then just wait, the body will go into toxic shock.

Johnny, sounds like your spirit of adventure needs a boost.
Forget those hipster bikes.....
Get yourself a CCMGP450 or a nice new BMW GS850.
Get on a ferry and head out on the small roads to the Balkans or down through France to Spain/Portugal.

He's got all the bikes he needs to do that already

Reality is that if you hand it back after 3 years it is going to cost you:-
£2500 deposit plus £3240 rental so a total of £5740 or £160 a month
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

Plus £6000 final payment = £11740 total cost, which doesn’t seem too bad to me. How much would it cost with normal finance deal?
