Ok, here's the situation:

I have RM 35k on hand, planning to buy an Axia, and informed that the car loan is only 2.9%p.a!
So does it feasible to apply for loan, and leave the cash in bank's FD to earn 4% a year, then pay the loan slowly? hmm.gif

Car load is fix rate by year. Your loan is for 5 years?

Means 35000*0.029=1015 (interest per year)
For 5 years: 1015*5 = 5075

5075+35000=40075
40075/(12x5) = 667.92 per month

I think you can calculate which one is better

I just bought my Axia cash because I don't want to think about mandatory monthly payment. So, I have more flexible saving and spending each month smile.gif
