How come he's got a bike "coming" but still needs the money? Has he not bought it? What sort of arrangement is that?
Could have put a deposit down with an agreement he gets to test it before committing to purchase.
Or it's the Internet and is lying
Who would do that?! Who would lie on the internet?!
Buster would NEVER
Whenever you order a vehicle, you pay a small bit down, but full purchase isn’t until it arrives. Sometimes you can get deals on custom orders that fell through at the last minute that a person didn’t buy.
Must be an american thing
I did the same thing in Germany, but the down payment was much higher so people tend to commit fully. It’s actually more of an exception in the US as people tend to not custom order as dealers have loads of new cars ready to go on the lot.
Frankly I’d prefer them to switch to a custom order model, but there are too many impulse car buyers here.
It could just be weird phrasing. It could be that he's saving up for it and plans to have the money at that time. He's expecting to have the money, so he's expecting to buy it, or put another way he's "got it coming"
