QUOTE(dopp @ Sep 21 2015, 12:13 PM)
Is there a way to gain benefit from early settlement for car loan?
Our salary may be low x years ago, and today is higher. Hence we can afford to pay more monthly.
Say our instalment was $800 , for 9 yrs, now we can afford RM1500 a month.

Should we pay RM1500 per mth ? or just dump RM700 in the bank

Bank in more in a month can help u to repay faster when ur account accumulated enough amount to settle.
If you settle the remaining payment a couple of years prior the final payment u can save yourself 2 years of interest.

If you are not in a hurry u can slowly repay while spend your money on other investment. For example, the interest rate for your car could be below 3% a year but your EPF could be 5-6% above for a year. So naturally I would put my money in EPF for investment. Or, buy a property.

Just my 2 cent.
