True, but I'd never feel like the bike was truly mine.
Then there is the chance that things would get weird later. Like:
- How long?
- What if I'm not ready to return it (like if I don't have another bike)
- What if it has new scratches or dents?
- What if I'm ready for a new bike and want to get my $500 back, would the seller be ready to give me my $ back?
A straight up sale is the best way.
