There's varying degrees of interpretation I guess. Some people are strictly against paying even a penny of interest. In my case, I've more or less accepted that interest is pretty much impossible to avoid in majority of the world. It's a slippery slope, because some argue if you begin to make concessions in some parts of the religion, what's to stop you in making concessions in more severe offenses.

But I suppose if you get to the basis behind why interest is prohibited - it mostly comes down to people being taken advantage of and being stuck in a never ending spiral of compounding loan amounts where they end up owing money forever (see - minimum payments on credit cards). A sort of tax on the poor who can't afford something outright if you will.

So using that same logic - I'm not the one charging anyone interest and thus not taking advantage of others - I'm the one paying the interest based on my financial means (which admittedly can take a 180 at any time - even given contingencies - but at what point do you mitigate risk to no end?). I guess whatever helps us sleep at night

On the other end of the spectrum I've got friends who've decided to not purchase a house until they've saved the cash (in an interest-free account mind you) to pay for the house outright.

Imagine god lookin down from heaven like "Well he did pay $55k for a $50k car but the interest line on the piece of paper says 0% so I guess he's good to go. No hell for this dude."

I mean no serious disrespect btw, do whatever you gotta do for your own religion/culture. I'm sure my own culture does equally as goofy stuff.

I told my folks to take the loan and pay the car off in a year or two. They won't be paying too much interest. Or pay cash or just keep the van for the time being.

I called BMW. They won't allow the whole paying the interest in the final price of the car or what have you, On the other hand, chase will. But, chase's interest rates are probably high

I believe the rates are about to get worse in the next few months. The Feds are looking at doing another increase soon.

Yeah, that's what I've been reading. Hell, when I was looking for a car. I started looking in Feb. CPO interest rates were 0.9% for 36 months. I brought the 540 in march and the interest rates went from 0.9% to 1.9%. Now they're 3.9%.

The meeting is today/tomorrow. Rate announcement will come tomorrow at ~2pm. Expectation is 75bps increase.


Mosaud1998 I apologize for my ignorance. When I replied to this last night I didn't realize this was an actual religious thing. People over use the word religion so I thought you meant it like some people might say "it's my religion to work out every day".

Still, though, I think the substance of my post is still valid. Any specialty loan will probably be more expensive in the long run (because you're paying for the specialization). You can accomplish what you want with a conventional loan the way I described (though the statements will have the word interest on them, so maybe doesn't work for you purpose).

Nah, you're fine. I told my parents that they can take the loan and pay the car off in a year or two. They can't add like $25 extra a month towards the loan with BMW. Or they can just keep the minivan. I mean, yeah we're getting like $2k above retail for it but it runs and drives fine. They don't NEED a new car. It's more of a WANT. Plus, it's a Toyota. So, I can have it repaired at Ford (were I work).

I think BMW is giving an okay rate for 36 months. Lexus is at 4.5% for 72 months on CPO cars. If they downgrade to an X5, they're willing to pay cash. But an X7 is a bit too much to pay cash for.

Mosaud1998 there has to be an easy button solution for this. Your parents arent the only or first ones with this situation.

What about a faith-based financier? Some might call it a loan shark, others call it a source of liquidity. A wealthy individual from your faith community who can front the cash and offer installment payments to your parents.

Man, I already got a headache thinking of all this . I'd just take that 3.9% or whatever and pay the car off in a year or two and call it a day.

I still don't understand. Is a little bit of interest okay? It seems that it is black and white - Yes interest or No interest.

No interest. My parents are super religious. On the other hand, I could care less.

Almost any dealership will do this. When you negotiate the terms of your purchase and agree to dealer financing, they have total control over the numbers to find a solution the buyer is happy with while maintaining the profits they need to make the sale.

As an example with hypothetical numbers, the "going rate" along with your available down payment and the sale price arrive at a total payment over time of $50k. The dealer wants to get their $50k by the time the loan is paid in full. They can manipulate the trade-in value of your car so they can make the sale price look sweet or vice versa. They can say "we'll sell you this car at $50k with 0% interest instead of $44k with 2% interest.

Basically, go to the dealer, let them know what your situation is and if they're any good at all, as long as you're willing to get dealer financing, they'll work with you.

I'd rather go through BMW since they have the lowest APR so far. Unless the dealer can get me lower than 3.9%

Bank of England is also forecast a 75bps increase on Thursday.

I am hoping this will get passed on to UK retail bank Savings rates and national bonds .. but seriously doubt it. The UK banks take profits at both ends: the loan rates will be hiked in a heart beat tomorrow, but the savings rates will edge up by a whisper, in a few weeks or months time.

that's what I meant. Your lender would be BMW but the loan and all the terms of the sale would be manipulated by the dealer's finance guy.

But, won't they still technically be paying the interest? It won't be added daily. Instead, they paid the interest in one going.
