[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Wisdom wanted: AppleCredit

ddl683@sarah.albany.edu (Cinderella Man) (05/13/91)

	I'm fed up with my old Mac and I want a new one!  "Go for it!"
I can hear you say.  Unfortunately, unless I want to be running my
new Mac under a tree with a long extension cord, I can't afford to
enrich my local dealer by $3,000+.

	So I have a question for those of you who can answer:  What is
the scoop on AppleCredit?  What kind of time period and interest rates
are involved?  What kind of credit is necessary already?  Are there
any special deals for students?  (This school is not in the AUC, nor
does it have any direct dealings with Apple, much as I wish it did.)

	In short, would I be better off scrimping for a year or two
and buying a Mac Xfyi then, or is the payment plan a good compromise?

	Unless, of course, there's someone out there who'd like to
sell their used IIci for $275 a month over a year's time... :-}

Your comments are much appreciated...
