    Hi, I'm still very stuck. I've been talking to my dad, and he's thinking about buying a Sager/Clevo for me. I showed him the reviews and everything and he's impressed. One of the few issues we have left is when he purchases expensive items, he likes to pay for them over time. I've talked to XoticPC and I think I also talked to PowerNotebooks. They don't offer a "no interest for X months" deal. That's one of the main reasons my dad price matches for TVs instead of buying them online (we live near NYC which is where practically every discount electronics shop is) is because he wants to pay for it over time. That's also the reason why he doesn't really want to buy a Sager/Clevo. Does anyone here know of a reseller that has a no interest deal/pay over time deal where my dad can pay over about 6 months? That's why I may have to get a computer from Best Buy or Circuit City since they offer no interest for like 18 months. If anyone knows of any Sager/Clevo reseller that has a no interest/pay over time deal, please help me out and post the website here. Thanks.

    Sager resellers usually don't offer this option because many banks don't extend these lines of credit unless the company's annual revenues are in the millions. Sorry :(

    Their only financing is business leasing.

    One thing we advise customers requesting financing is you can view credit cards that offer different promotions (similar to financing) either on THIS website or THIS one.

    Well one option is to get a new credit card with NO interest for the first year, that's what I did.Now I just pay what I can afford every month but I sure am going to finish paying within a year.I used a Discover card+ I get a cash back bonus at the end of the year.
