Assumption : You have extra spare cash enough to pay.
If no extra spare cash, why ask pay cash or take loan?

you want to know whether you use cash to pay car better or keep your cash to invest and take car loan better?

1)IF car loan interest 0% sure keep our own cash and take car loan.

Car loan interest even if only 3%, you think is lower than FD rate 4%, you will regret taking car loan and keep your spare cash in bank.

You lose, the longer the car loan duration the more you lose. That car interest 3% could be effectively 6%, and if 4% would be 7.9%.

So unless the spare cash you keep can guarantee return 10%, why take trouble take car loan, pay fees etc?

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

Are you telling people to keep cash in FD and go take car loan?
You better think again.

You would regret keeping your cash in FD and go take a car loan.
The longer your car loan, the more u will regret.

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 have found that common sense is rarer than you would expect.  u still havent tell us why u think 2.5%  per annum is more than 4%  per annum.

when you see so many disagree with you, you should be smart enuff to know you are wrong. Supersound eavesdropping there?

but the way, you retorted "..i have found that business sense is rarer than you would expect...............i have found that common sense is rarer than you would expect.......", you sounded like u are very clever.rclxms.gif

If the answer is that simple, then we can conduct a poll and follow the most popular choice.  smile.gif

Of course there are many reasons why people who are cash rich, still take car loan.

But that was not the answer people are looking for when they come ask whether they should keep own cash
and take car loan that seems cheap , appears lower than FD rate!
They want us to assure them yes, they can make some money out of that car loan.

To them the answer should be a resounding NO.
If they can make money out of it, they wouldn't be asking that Q here in the first place.
just see what @sootienann thinks.

If you take the loan instead of paying cash and used the money instead to  put your cash in FD @ 4% p.a. = you are a sor hai!


Understand?

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 keep 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!
Be man to admit your mistake,...dont go putar belit moving goal post when you cant score.
