I noticed that there are two different promo interest rates being used in current ads. The promo rate mentioned on the Can-Am BRP site is 0%, but the promo rate mentioned on the dealer site is 0.9%. Both are through Sheffield Financing.

Which rate is correct?

Here are the two sites:

They are both correct.

The 0% will have a shorter length to the loan.
The 0.9% has a longer length to the loan.

The 0% interest will, of course, have a higher monthly payment because it is for a shorter period of time.
The 0.9% interest will have a lower monthly payment because it is for a longer period of time.

I know this because I recently purchased a new 2016 RT Limited using Sheffield. I told the salesman that I wanted to use the 0% instead of the money rebate. At the time I was unaware there was an option of 0.9%. At closing I discussed with the closer what I wanted my monthly payment to be; he calculated it all out and the 0% interest was at least $100.00 more a month for a shorter loan length. The closer suggested that I used the 0.9% for the longer period of time with a smaller monthly payment.

I actually made out pretty good because I asked for a couple of comps to make up for the longer length in my loan.
The dealer where I purchased my Spyder rolled out the red carpet for me when I was shopping for my Spyder; the comps were substantial.

Both ads state 60 months, though. A longer term will have lower payments, but could cost more over the term of the loan.

How interesting. Back in July when my wife bought her F3 Limited she got the 0.0% interest from BRP. It was only offered for six months and then she refinanced for 1.85% with Altra Federal Credit Union.

Could this just be a case of one site needing to be updated a bit quicker? :dontknow:

Calculate the one which will be better for you and then invoke the printed deal you want to accept. As long as it is current, BRP/Sheffield will have to honor it.
