    I believe why COE will remain high is because of the interest the bike shop will make when one take a loan. Borrow someone else's knife for the kill. Any other opinions are welcome to share. Just found your channel. Nice!

    Just take a few months off and work.. Then full cash... If you have delivery bike like a kapchai, even better. Take one year++ and work then in one year can buy GS,S1k and much more depending on how much you save and your discipline when it comes to money. Cash is king.. True fact uh... but.. Patience is God

    Interest is already included even if u want to do early settlement. This is what makes the early settlement penalty a bit ridiculous. They are not going to deduct the remaining interest from the remaining loan. Its unlike car bank loan where u get interest rebate for early settlement.

  • @yan7527

    One thing to take note before paying in full cash is whether you need that money in the near future. If you feel like there’s even a SMALL chance that you might need that money, it’s better to take a loan.

    Farhan, maybe because you're helping the shop to advertise in a way so different kind of treatment. As for me, the moment i said I'm paying full cash, immediately tell me the price will marked up. And that wasn't the only bad side. It was my first time buying from shop and it was terrible. I just take it as a lesson learnt.

    Speedway put 2k early settlement fee on my contract without explaining to me in detail until later I noticed that but it’s too late. Now I’m stuck with the 3 year loan. Should have easily put full cash. My loan is only 7k. Feeling I’m been cheated badly.

    Yeah. Charging interest is the bike shop way of earning money. If you were to settle your loan quickly, they wont earn from you in the long term. Perhaps you can consider other financing options on your next bike. 😁

    I’m fine with interests. But the early termination fee and admin fee is on top of all the accumulated interests. Say my loan plus interests is 8k . If I want to pay full amount early, I need to pay additional 2k on top of that. A lot of shop have 0 to a few hundred only. 2k is too excessive already , and without explaining to me while signing the contract is gimmick for sure.

No loyalty discount whatsoever.Be careful guys, do your homework and check with multiple dealers before committing to one. Go for one that offers the lowest i/r with very clean and clear terms and conditions.

    May peace and blessings be upon each and everyone of you. Thanks Farhan, Zar and friend for this useful information. Guys, please becareful of Riba'. It's one the major sins in Islam. But from my understanding, we are allowed to use installment directly with the dealer itself. Means, we are dealing straight with the shop and not 3rd party. Avoid late payment charges as this is Riba'. Loan from a bank falls under Riba' too. Just becareful ok. Let's remind each other to do good deeds and avoid bad ones. Take care errbodeeh! #borntoride #ridetojannah

    As much as possible, don’t go with a shop with early settlement fees. You never know when you will hit a good time to sell the bike eg, recent CB. Wanted to let go of mine and the early settlement was 1.8k! LL keep even though i got enough to full settle and very possibly let go at a good price since all the bikes shops were close. Don’t COI bikes unless you are close to the person. You heard of buyers running away but my friend’s experience was seller owe shop money. Bike paid finish but since the seller owe money to the shop they refuse to let him transfer it. Road tax renewal notice gets sent to the owner instead of him as he only COI and owner did not inform. Suay suay kenna stop by TP. Bike can’t ride and have to spend a stupid amount to tow the bike cos in the middle of the night.

They still earn and we have no headache. Im good with that. But the interest rates are a sham financial practice. Poor is getting poorer with this oppressive loan ethics. Im sticking to rental bikes.
