Financing a ZR-1: Is it possible? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Thanks for all the advice guys, you've convinced me to wait until after college.

I still want to meet you guys and hopefully learn a lot more about the ZR-1 (and test drive one!). After all, it is my dream car and I will have one someday! When is Carlisle? I'd like to go if possible

My local bank financed mine. I had a decent down payment and they covered the rest. Only bad thing was that they would only go 2yrs on the remaining balance because of the age of the car, so I had a pretty hefty monthly payment. It's all mine now though.

PenFed and Navy Credit unions have really good deals.

I used a "signature line of credit" to finance one car and borrowed against deposited money to get a 1.9% loan to jump on the deal I wanted to give me time to sell another car to pay off the loan

ZR-1 is fine as a daily driver. just budget a bit more for tires, you're gonna need it! A ZR-1 is a very serious machine, and it's easy to get seduced by the power and rack up a bunch of tickets without trying.

don't fall into that trap or insurance and everything else you DIDN'T budget for can bite you quick.
