Joseph Zollo Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Curious...how does this work? Does the monthly fee get put on your credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2004 No, it's a separate line of credit. You pay them the monthly amount for, I believe, 24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 And up to 60 months. Cound you imagine paying for 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 And up to 60 months. Cound you imagine paying for 5 years? especially for a computer... and while macs last much longer than their pc counterparts, why pay for something that will end up being obsolete (or close to it) by the time you are done paying for it?

macman87 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 when the original imac imac came out, they offered $29.99 monthly payments of 68 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Frett Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I got an apple loan for mine last month. But no way in the world am I gonna pay monthly payments, Gonna try to pay it off as fast as possible by selling stuff. I just got out of debt a while ago and don't plan on getting in any more.

Bling3k12 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 when the original imac imac came out, they offered $29.99 monthly payments of 68 months... I remember that... it'd cost the same as buying Pizza every month a few times... Pizza or iMac... i'd choose iMac, but not at 68 months! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yea, the apple loan is a bad deal. Why not just pay it off on a credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shodan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Well, here in italy for example, the apple loan is better than the credit card one. I've bought my iMac in 10 months, plus an 11th month of half the price of the other.... i've paid (well i'm still paying... :( ) around 280? for 10 months, and 140? the 11th... so the interest are 140? on 2800?, much better than my credit card one!

aldo Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Well I don't know what it's like in Italy, but in the UK there are so many credit card providers offering 6 months intrest free balance transfers that you can just move around the debt at no intrest until you get it paid off ;).

theDose Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 if you have a business, leasing is much better. your payments are 100% writeable. if you buy it out right for your biz, then you can only write of depreciating value, ie the first year you can only write off 30% (in canada at any rate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
