What about the effective interest rate that the author mentioned in the article?

I did a quick calculation. It seems 9 years has a better effective rate and it's giving youa better cash flow.

example interest rate @ 2.7%
5 years = 2.7% x 5 = 13.5%

9 years = 2.7% x 24.3%

Yes, 9 years maybe your interest rates will be lower but my guess by a bit. Bank needs to manage risk as well apart from making money.

Most standard cars come with 5 years warranty. So if you are going for 9 years, the at the 6th year... you continue to pay loan but you have a new commitment which is the car maintenance in case anything fails.
