Comments:
- The outrageous pricing specific to several sales companies with large sales teams, questionable sales tactics and excessive savings forecasts must be avoided by consumers.
- Interest free? No such product exists. The cost of interest is included in the price of goods. Early payout penalties apply (though stated otherwise) as the cost of funds are paid for by the borrower and thus by default is penalised by early payout.
BUYER BEWARE!
*Prices were sourced via Get 3 Free quoting platforms and via direct enquiry with the installation company. Finance was used to price the purchase, options utilised – green loans and the interest free “buy now pay later”.
