Isn't one of the credit card perks also an extra year of warrantee?

The impact on your credit score is minimal if your smart about your credit health.

While I typically refuse to utilize credit for a luxury purchase that I don't have the cash for some offers do make appealing for some people to obtain a piece of their "dream".

40 months at 0%?! Spend their money and not yours up front...I could see why this is appealing.

Borrowing money to buy frivolous luxuries seems unwise.

Slap it down at the AD for the best deal..

Shows you mean business and don't need to worry about silly payments..

I picked up a new DJ II rhodium dial a few months ago with a significant discount and 0% financing at an AD in Dallas. Impossible to say no to that situation.

There are a number of promotions an AD can offer you, with one being 0% and this is an option I would definately consider - but only if I had the capital available to buy it outright anyway. Would weigh it out against any discount offered for cash purchase for example 10%, compared to interest free payments over 3 years for instance. I would fancy my chances on returning more than 10% over the 3 years on the capital in funds/shares (even bearing in mind that this capital would be decreasing every month).

I have only ever had credit in the form of a mortgage, which was paid off 20+ years ago, I have never had the need to have a credit card, and when talking to some friends, about 0% finance (generally,not specifically) it was the consensus that I would not be able to get the deal as my credit score would be non existent, and as such, too much of a risk to a credit provider. Do you agree that this would be the case?

I don't think anyone would fault you for financing at 0%.
But, I'd rather put cash on the table and try and get a discount though.
Now, 0% and a discount... That's ideal
