From a press release issued by Ducati North America:

DUCATI ANNOUNCES THEIR MOST COMPREHENSIVE FINANCING PROGRAM EVER FEATURING 2.99% APR* FINANCING ON SELECT MODELS AND 6.99% APR OR LOWER* ON ALL OTHER MODELS

Ducati launches its most comprehensive financing program in history with excellent financing on every Ducati model.

June 2004 – Ducati North America announced a new summer financing program called the “You Deserve a Ducati” deal. The program was inspired when Ducati staff overheard Eric Bostrom saying to a fan, “Don’t you think you deserve a Ducati too?” Now that dream can be reality with excellent financing on all Ducati models. It is the company’s most wide-ranging financing effort and comes during the peak of the riding season.

The program begins June 1st, 2004 and will continue through August 31st, 2004. Interest rates are as low as 2.99% APR for 36 months on all new 2003 and prior models. For lower payments, customers can choose the 4.99% APR for 60 months option. The 2004 models are also eligible for 3.99% APR for 36 months or 5.99% APR for 60 months (except 749R, 999R, Monster S4R, and 749 Dark).*

Finally, for models not listed above, Tier 1+ applicants can receive 6.99% APR on the STANDARD Ducati – E*Trade Consumer Finance Corporation (“ETCFC”) Program.

Riders have no more excuses about not being able to afford the Ducati they deserve. With every Ducati model included in this offer, customers can ride the bike they want at an affordable price.

In addition, up to $2,000 of popular Ducati Performance accessories and apparel (covering the entire range of Ducati motorcycles) can be financed with the purchase of any new Ducati. Visit www.ducatiusa.com or call 1-888-DUCATI 2 to locate the nearest Ducati dealer.
