But what if say a person have rm50k cash, put fd at 4.2%/year. Fd will not be touch. Fd Interest remains the same every year.

He then take rm50k car loan at 3%/year for 5 year from another bank. He is going to pay the loan using deduction from monthly salary.

At the end of 5 years, he paid finish his loan. He withdraw fd with the interest, will he make a loss or make a profit?

Sorry. I am still blur

Then this is not a fair comparison already

U are comparing on

bank charge u hire purchase interest of 50k

while u are taking FD interest and monthly contribution to jack up ur profit..

It is like taking 50k and 110k to compare..

not a fair comparison at all

I know is not a fair comparison. But how's the end result? Will one be able to get profit by doing that?

Because that is what I am planning to do in the future When I am working. If can save even a bit money, why not.

Take loan, and pay back the loan slowly and earn interest.

Isn't this like gen x's way of thinking with credit card. Put money into 1 month fd, use a credit card and at the end of 1 month, take out the fd and pay your credit card

The difference is that CC provide you x days of interest free loan thus you will sure gain even with 1% interest.

Loan on the other hand, cost you money every day.

So if one is rich enough, can one actually use a credit card to buy a car?

Yea possible..

Most allow booking fee only... 10% downpayment also cannot.
some cap at 10k only.

the rest of it.. charge u 2%..

unless ur car is 5k... Then maybe ok..

What do you mean the rest of it? The remainder of the xdr price, the dealer will charge you 2%?
