    Cash has always been the best option if you can pay up front. But the problem is that I heard a lot of people saying when you pay in full, the BIR will come and kulit you. Is that true? So will it be better to pay through a car loan?

    That's not true. The BIR has not harassed me and I bought all my cars CASH. Syempre mga binibili ko naman di naman mamahalin iba na if you buy a Lambo like that pawnshop guy with cash. Or was it a McLaren SLR?

    pay cash if you can.
    you save money that way.
    plus, you save yourself the hassle of the monthly drudge..

    dapat kasi gawin ng bir, the interest that you pay for a car can be deducted to your income so you pay less tax, that way madaming tao maeengganyo mag car loan thus stimulating the bank as well as the car industry. that's how they do it in the US. para maging accessible and car to all filipinos. hindi lang yung mga may kay.

    if you have the money pay in cash. say for a 1M car and the rate of 27% for 5years. that's a whooping 270K savings. hindi kikitain ng pera mo yan kung nakadeposit lang sa bank.

    Kaya nga nagkaroon ng Great Recession sa US. Many people borrowed too much and in the end they can't pay them and the banks got hit and everyone got hit! Housing nga lang at hindi cars... We still have to be very conservative when giving loans...

    kung may cash mas maganda pay in cash..

    pero kung 0% interest naman e di mag loan na..like my dad's everest 12months 0%interest.

    Cash is nice. Pero kung sa tingin mo mas malaki kikitain ng pera mo (mas mabilis mo mapapaikot para mag self liquidate), kesa sa interest na mag aacrue sa pag bili thru financing eh mas Ok financing.
