Very good. It's lower than my fix deposit rate. God sent! If I am you I loan 15year take the money n put into deposit 😜🤔 under taking deal with car salesman.

LMAO you have no clue how this works do you? A fixed rate loan at 2.5% is more expensive than an FD yielding 4.0%.

Di count for me genius. The rate for 5y 60k loan at 2.5% VS a 60k 5y FD at 3.3%.

I counted 7500RM for 2.5% VS 9900RM 3.3%

If you set up a RM50k monthly rolling FD at 3.3% and withdraw to pay your monthly car installment at 2.5%, you'll exhaust the FD before the car is paid off.

My calculation below is for my loan at 2.24%, I need an FD of 4.184% to match the car loan interest.

i believe he meant keeping that 50k FD untouched then monthly installment with additional cash from else where

It's not an apple-to-apple comparison, and you're losing money anyways (the same logic applies to that "cash from elsewhere").
