Spend it wisely to do investment instead. A car regardless of whether it is fully paid or loan is still a liability to the owner.Originally posted by BillGates:Is there any advantage in paying the car in full?
I've been saving up for 1 year already.
1 more year and I can buy car in full already.
Yeah!!

If the car is bought for personal use, it is smart to pay cash. If the car is for generating income (e.g. car rentals or taxi), try to loan 100% if you can.Originally posted by newcomer:Some ppl buy car with cash either because

I bought a car recently. The car dealer refuse to give me $1,500 discount if I pay cash. So I go for minimum loan; $20,000 for 1 year. Total interest is $650, so I am $850 richer. Deposit $20,650 cash in high interest saving account and let the GIRO deduct the instalments. The interest earn from saving account is a bonus. Forget about the money in the account and one year later the car will be legally yours. Good luckOriginally posted by BillGates:Is there any advantage in paying the car in full?
