BrotherHoe,

1) In general, you do not get much discount on car loan interest even if you pay off earlier. That is WHY I constantly tell people to be VERY CAREFUL on getting car loan with long tenure (5 years, 7 years, 9 years).

2) It is VERY SIMPLE. Just ask the bank to run the calculation for you. Tell them to check that if you want to payoff the loan at certain date, what is the amount. Then, you can make the decision.

3) It is STUPID to pay off the car loan if you have no emergency fund.
