But look at it the other way around, if one does not buy a car now, he would have spent some of the money that supposedly meant for installment into something else, like a more expensive holiday, buying other luxury items, better food etc , end up he would still have not enough money for full cash five years later. But then you need people who like to spend on borrowed money. They make the world go round. Look at the Americans. Majority in debt all the time and a large number on credit card debt. If everyone is full cash and tight fisted, then our economy will grind to a halt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now with the coronavirus, dont know how many jobs are going tp lose their jobs especially if the situation prolonged, we will see huge financial defaulting cases from business to property to car loan. Lets hope to see vaccine soon, otherwise , I dare not to imagine. Back on loan, I think property loan is still worth taking up even if one has sufficient cashflow, it is not difficult to generate equivalent or higher return from investment with the same amount of money owed because the interest rate for property is still fairly low now, but one has to make sure he balance his portfolio including CPF saving and good grade bonds, otherwise the result may be counter intuitive.

This is the i portant question to answer. If you have a couple of millions, why be bothered with a puny $60k ? Or even $120k or $240k for that matter. your investment in funds would already be down easily 20% with 4-5% returns likely to be halved. So what is your decision? No right no wrong.
