It is highly unlikely they will do that. That is a loan modification on collateral decreasing in value. You could ask about another loan, but may better off getting a personal loan elsewhere or just putting it on a credit card.

clutchless is right, the contract is already written. They could have done it as part of the purchase, but not after the fact.

If you own your home, a line of credit is pretty cheap these days - my bank's rate is 3.75% for example.

If you don't, the smart thing to do is to save up till you can pay for it. Paying credit card or personal loan interest rates on this purchase could drive it up over $10K by the time it's paid for.

One word of advice... when you decide to buy one, CALL AROUND. The price is NOT standard....neither for parts or labor.
