From an e-mail promotion issued by Ducati North America:

Italians never need a reason to celebrate–even when they have one. And we have one of the best reasons of all. The continuing celebration of our 75th Anniversary. In honor of this occasion, your Ducati dealer is offering low 2.75% APR financing rates for 36 months or free factory scheduled maintenance on all new 2001 model year Ducati motorcycles*. And why, you ask? Because the 2001 Model Year was a special one for Ducati. It was our 75th Anniversary. That means that every 2001 model will always have the distinction of being produced during this milestone period in the Company’s on-going history.


*Get 2.75% APR financing for 36 months or free scheduled maintenance when you purchase any new, unused, street legal 2001 Model Year or earlier Ducati motorcycle (that has not been sold or titled before) from January 2, 2002 through March 31, 2002 (buyer must take title by March 31, 2002). Financing subject to credit approval from Deutsche Financial Services Corporation; not all applicants will qualify. Example: 36 month closed end sales contract for an amount financed of $10,000 with monthly payments of $289.71 (after 10% down payment). Financing rates, terms and down payment will vary based on credit qualifications and are subject to change without notice. First payment due 30 days after date of sales contract. Dealer sets actual retail price. Pricing does not include taxes, licenses, title fees, options, insurance, service agreement, destination and dealer preparation charges. May not be combined with any other offer. Void where prohibited. This offer may be discontinued or extended without prior notice. Free maintenance offer valid only at authorized Ducati dealers for scheduled factory maintenance procedures for up to 24 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Free maintenance program is not transferable. Ask your participating Ducati dealer today for details.
