is he telling the truth? y some my friend can get lower interest rate??

No. He is not.

Back in 2005 when my mom bought her Proton Waja, we visited 4 different Proton dealers here. Most of the dealers offer us 3.7% for a 7-year loan. There was one offered us 3.2%. Luckily we visited one more dealer and they offered us 2.8% only from EON Bank.

It is advisable that you check out the interest rate yourself by visiting every banks. You should start with the bank you have an account with.

can anybody give me some advice on getting the best loan car with lower interest rate?
You should check out all the commercial banks in Malaysia. But please note that only local banks offer car loan. Foreign banks do not.

Look out for EON Bank and AmBank. Both are leaders in the hire purchase market.

Miles, the EON bank loan can be used to buy any car?
It's not necessary to buy the national car with this loan right?
Sorry, I'm new in cars.. sweat.gif
The interest rate for national cars loan is always higher than foreign cars. So if you intend to buy a Toyata or Honda, you should be able to get an even lower rate smile.gif

so which is  a more better advice?
Should we go for local car or should we get foreign car?
foreign car = expensive= lower interest
local = cheap = high interest
Just go for the car type you can afford. Higher interest is one thing. Less expensive car is another thing. Interest rate for national car might be higher but it is also cheaper. If one doesn't make a lot of money, it is advisable that he/she just settle for a national car.

Am thinking of getting a Kenari as my first car.

What don't you get a new car instead ? Lower maintenance ... Such as VIVA or SAGA.

Should I take longer or shorter period loan payment? Usually, how do you guys do it?
It depends, try to take the shorter period one if possible.

@Matrix,
Lol.  I definitely agree with U and personally, I wouldn't take a car loan which is more than 3 years.
Some people can pay in cash but most of them don't do that because they are afraid of LHDN come knocking their doors laugh.gif


QUOTE(cheez @ Jan 18 2010, 01:47 PM)
Interest rates for new local cars are fixed by the BN.
I've been hearing many people saying this but i kind of doubt if it is true because last time when my mom bought her Proton Waja, the interest rate was around 3.70% with the exception from EON Bank. It also seems to me that every dealers will quote you different interest rate. Mom finally took the offer from EON Bank (just 2.9%).

Yes. That was back in 2005 biggrin.gif But we bought another car again in 2008. This time we bought a Proton Persona and RHB Bank offered the lowest at 3.40%. All others quoted us 3.75%.

It's their way of protecting their number 1 position as the bank with the lowest NPL in Malaysia.

since the economy goes up (people have money) so the interest will likely will go down (as people can pay installment).. that is what i understand..

so, if the economy is up, the interest should go down.. likewise, if the economy is down, the interest will hike~

can anyone master in economy clarify this? me, in other hand, has no degree in economy yo~  whistling.gif
Not quite so. It all depends on the economy. Back in 1998, our interest rate went up like there is no tomorrow to prevent the total destruction of MYR. However, approximately 10 years later, Bank Negara slashed the key interest rate instead. Why ? This is mainly to increase spending.

When the economy is up and everything is good again, interest rate should go up as you can see with Indonesia and Brazil. As a matter of fact, many actually see the 3.7% (the 12-month fixed deposit rate before the subprime mortgage crisis) too low for Malaysia. The normal rate should be around 4%-5%, so they say.

The next OPR will be revised:-

- 8 July 2010 (Thursday )
[COLOR=red]
- 2 September 2010 (Thursday )
- 12 November 2010 ( Friday )

Take note on this date & do comparison on the interest rate.
Should be OPR revision ... The rate can either be kept unchanged, increased or decreased.

Foreign banks do not offer hire purchase loan.

May be they want to increase the interest rate back to the 90s level. Subsidized hire purchase interest rate from several government bodies which only government servants are entitled to was around 4% while hire purchase interest rate from commercial banks was around 6%.

oh..like myvi is 46900 ,
down payment RM 5000

equals to 41900 rite ?
41900 x 4%  = 1676 ( 1 year interest)
1676 x 7 yrs = 11732

so take 41900+11732 = 53632 / 84 months (7yrs)

so it means each month u've to pay RM 638.50

correct me if i'm wrong..
That's correct icon_rolleyes.gif
