Private Bank Car Loan


C1R384
 Share

Recommended Posts

Would like to seek the opinion and advise from knowledgeable expert here. Planning to get new car from a AD. The SE offered me a good deal but on the condition that I will have to take up a private car loan from Hitachi at interest of 2.78% rather than the in house loan of 2.5% interest from UOB. The SE promise that he will compensate the 0.28% of extra interest that I have to pay in term of cheque. With that it seems like I'm not losing out from anything since the extra interest from Hitachi will be compensated back to me. Am I missing out on anything? Is there something I have to look out for? Are there any risk in doing so? Would appreciate is people can provide some feedbacks and advice. Thanks!

With the info in your post i interpret it as the SE is doing something under the table.

 

You can ask him the cheque with the interest returned is issued by who. The AD or himself?

 

If it is not from AD, it likely means you are not taking a loan from the AD

 

Usually for AD if you do not take loan, you will lose out on freebies like service credits etc.

Nothing shady I imagine with the firm itself, that's Hitachi credit who is giving the loan. They been around for awhile but the arrangement seems out of norm

Turbocharged

Not much details.

So shall guess that the extra 0.28% multiply by the loan amt & number of years shall be "offset" by the cheque.

Look out for the terms n conditions, i.e. Early settlement, the catch might be there.

Was told by the SE that the offset will come from him personally, guess that's because taking into the commission that Hitachi gave him, he still benefit after offsetting the 0.28 interest to me.

Yes that I will ensure that the offset paid to me is for the entire 7 years loan of 0.28 interest.

Something fishy. Why would any SE compensate u for additional interest?

Cos minus off the compensated interest, the SE still can earn commissions from Hitachi.

Clinch the deal, get the cheque then report him. May get bigger discounts from se and hitachi

Wow, that's ruthless!

Don't think it's so simple. Better read the T&C carefully. Most of the time if do early settlement, that's where the sharp knifes come out

do banks offer car loan directly without going tru car dealers ??

Most banks offer loans independently. They like it coz no need to pay comms to dealer.
