FD pays 4%. car loan interest is 2.5%. whch is better ? its a very simple calculation, dont even need business sense.

Seeing so many financially uneducated people here, I think Bank Negara should set a ruling that banks which give out auto loans must also alert the borrower how much effective interest they are charging

Every now and then, there are new people appear here who thought car loan interest of 2.5% is better than FD 4%. It just showed that banks have done a successful job to "con" their customer into believing car loan is a cheap loan

Common sense, will bank pay out 4% FD interest rate, and then collect just 2.5% interest ? tongue.gif

lets do a simple calculation. i take a 100k hire purchase loan at 2.5% interest. after 5 years i would have paid total 112500.

if i instead put the 100k in FD at 4% per annum, after 5 years i would have 120000 (assuming i take out the interest every year).
u still havent tell us why u think 2.5% per annum is more than 4% per annum.
i have found that business sense is rarer than you would expect. do u think 2.5%  per annum is more  than 4% per annum . ?

I salute everybody who take their time and patient to show mathematical calculation to educate a forummer here, despite his rudeness. You guys are thumbup.gif

For me, I don't waste time on such people. I hope he continue to practise what he "believe" and let banks make his money brows.gif

conclusion:

A ) buy a bmw with 1.38% interest rate
or
B) take a car loan and put your money in ASB (applicable for malays only).

Have you understood flat interest vs reducing balance interest ? If you have, then you can compare the above very easily.

Some sifu have shown you the website to convert flat interest. You want to try and show us the results ?

Forget it showtime 747, save your breathe.

this sootienann is one arrogant yet stupid person who never wanna admit he had been a sorhai , taking a car loan at 2.8% to keepĀ  that money in FD at 4.0% thinking he can earn RM7500 from bank.(his calcul: RM120k-112.5k)

Now after so many pointers here, he has slowly learned that indeed he had been a sor hai.

still you can see he refused to admit he had been a sor hai, now he is pushing the car loan interest down to 1.38% and push the FD rate up to 8.5% by using ASB, hoping that he would be proven right this time.

Well done sor hai sootienann!
BeĀ  man to admit your mistake,...dont go putar belit moving goal post when you cant score.

If he finally understood the flat rate interest, then he will realise he was a sor hai previously. And he will not be a sor hai from now on.

And learn to be more humble for things he don't understand 100%

But if he still don't understand, then he will continue to be a sor hai lor..... tongue.gif
