We would pay a percentage. A lot of customers would put it on credit cards and they will be paying interest on them. If you was to walk into a VW dealership with 10k in your pocket for a new van, but the van you really wanted was 12.5k and they offered you 0%APR would you not take it, or would you settle for the van you could afford and cough up the full 10k!?
but that is buying something you can't afford - that is why you will be in debt. Can you not see that?
 
Debt is fine as long as its under control and manageable. Once it is neither of those 2 then you are in trouble.

@Tom Astley that is indeed correct, lending people 5 times their joint incomes, for example, then it was only a matter of time.
 
No. I prefer to pay for things as I need them. Finance would be a temptation to spend more than I could afford.
Or worse, make me lazy in asking for deposits on any materials I might provide.

Incidentally - to add: 0% finance only really works on the basis that people who fail to pay off in time will then become "profitable" customers.
