Use Home Loan to Buy Car ?

Matthew is refinancing his property @ 4.2%. He will have an extra $100k. So he is planning to buy a $100k car too. The car loan is offering him 2.88%.

Should Matthew use his home loan to buy this car or should Matthew take the car loan ?

The answer, contradict to common comments, is actually home loan but . . .
Assumption : 7 years loan

Reason 1

If you take home loan approach, your monthly repayment is $1,376.11
If you take car loan approach, your monthly repayment is $1,430.48

You will have a better CASH FLOW

with the home loan approach.

You pay less.

Reason 2

If you take home loan approach, you have paid a total of $115,593 after 7 years

If you take car loan approach, you have paid a total of $120,160 after 7 years

You save a total of $4,567 with the home loan approach.

So either way you analysis the comparison, it is BETTER to use the home loan to buy the car instead of getting the car loan.

WHY ? How can this be possible ? How can 2.88% worst than 4.2% !?!? The answer is all in an old post. In short, car loan rate is 1.9x equivalent to home loan rate. So in this case, 2.88 x 1.9 = 5.4 which is higher than 4.2% ( home loan ), hence this particular car loan is not better than this particular home loan.

However . . .

1. The home loan is NOT a 7 year loan. Above analysis is only valid if Matthew top up $1,376 monthly repayment to his 'flexi' home loan. Else continue paying original repayment amount would drag this extra $100k loan to 30 years, that will make home loan a losing deal.

2. his home loan offer is actually BLR - 2.4%. So if the BLR raise above 8% one day before the 7 years period, this may become a losing deal again in future.

The world is fair and balance, in this particular case, it is obvious scientifically better to use home loan to buy the car instead of getting another new car loan ie. a saving of 4.5k plus. However, it does come with certain risk ie. future BLR rate and a requirement - discipline top up repayment.

New Sabah Property : HOT !

Famous Feng Shui sifu said that new sabah property is going to continue to be HOT for the next 20 years. As a matter of fact, he refers to both Sabah and Sarawak. Some may have already seen that properties development have been on the rise in East Malaysia for some time now especially in Kota Kinabalu, capital of Sabah. Although there have been critics that such a trend has no sustainable growth and therefore they considered it a bubble rather than a living standard up scale. However it doesn't really matter how right they may be or how noble you are, the market doesn't really care. If it continues to have more buyers than sellers then the price will continue to trend up, despite anything else i.e. no one actually utilize those properties. It shouldn't be too hard to understand the rise. First of all, Borneo is an island. Island has limited land. So 'eventually' the price of land will rise. Its been proven in Japan, Hong Kong Island, Singapore and even Aust...
