The Benefits of Financing an Airstream® RV
If you're looking to hit the road for a family vacation, exploring in a recreational vehicle is the way to go! Airstream® RVs have a long history in the industry of providing comfortable RVs for all family types, sizes and needs. Choosing the right home on wheels requires a lot of thought, especially when it comes to how much it will cost and what you can afford.
By financing your recreational vehicle, you'll reap several benefits, some of which we've listed below. To find out more, visit Airstream of Utah at our location in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving Park City and Provo, Utah.
Better Terms Through a Dealership
An RV is considered a luxury item, so the interest will be higher than a home or car loan. However, if you finance through a dealer, they can offer you some of the best terms and rates possible. In some cases, if the RV is going to be considered a permanent home, deals exist through regular lenders to offset some of the purchase price, including low introductory rates. Depending on your credit score and how much of a down payment you plan to make, obtaining the loan should take about the same amount of time as a regular vehicle loan.
You Can Drive Off Right Away
Rather than taking time to save for the cost of purchase outright, which can take years, financing an RV allows you to drive it off the lot that day. Some 70% of RV buyers finance their RVs for this very reason. Many RV owners are families with children, looking for adventure. Waiting to save up until you can purchase an RV might deny you many precious years of potential family fun, and you don’t want to wait until the kids are grown before making memories on your RV trips.
Additional Advantages
In many cases, owners looking to upgrade find it easier to trade in their existing rigs for fancier or more versatile models through the dealership they financed with, including selling the RV if they choose. The process of getting approved for financing is often easier for an RV than for a primary or second home, and the buyer often has better negotiating leverage.
In many cases, financing through a dealer also comes with add-ons such as service packages, exterior protection and tire coverage, which a third-party lender might not offer. You also have more options when you finance, including the ability to afford the RV that you really want and not be limited to a smaller or less suitable vehicle by budget constraints.
