Q & A

What are the two main types of loans available for purchasing a motorcycle?

The two main types of loans for purchasing a motorcycle are store loans (or loans from credit companies like Aeon Credit, JCL) and personal loans from banks.

What is a store loan, and how does it work?

A store loan is a financing option offered by credit companies that collaborate with motorbike dealerships. The credit company pays for the motorcycle on your behalf, and you repay them, not the dealership.

What is the potential issue with using all your savings to buy a motorcycle?

Using all your savings, such as RM10,000, to buy a motorcycle leaves you with limited emergency funds. It's risky because you may not have enough savings left in case of unforeseen financial emergencies.

Why is it advised to have at least six months' worth of salary saved as an emergency fund?

It's advised to have at least six months' worth of salary saved as an emergency fund to ensure financial security in case of unexpected situations like job loss or medical emergencies.

Can you use a personal loan from a bank to purchase a motorcycle?

Yes, you can use a personal loan from a bank to purchase a motorcycle. However, the bank does not offer specific motorcycle loans like they do for cars, so the loan will be a general personal loan.

What makes Islamic financing for motorcycles different from regular loans?

Islamic financing for motorcycles is designed to comply with Shariah law, avoiding interest (riba) and offering a structure that adheres to Islamic principles, which is preferred by some individuals.

What are the advantages of using store loans over personal loans?

Store loans are often easier to obtain because credit companies have less stringent requirements compared to banks. The process is simplified, and dealerships are more likely to push for store loans due to their business model.

How can someone avoid interest on a motorcycle loan?

To avoid interest on a motorcycle loan, you can opt for an Easy Payment Plan (EPP) that offers 0% interest, or use a loan with no profit charges. This is often available through credit cards or special financing offers.

Why do dealerships prefer customers to choose store loans instead of personal loans?

Dealerships prefer customers to choose store loans because they earn a commission or referral fee from the credit companies, and they want to sell motorcycles quickly without customers comparing loan terms.

What is the 'secret loan' mentioned in the video, and how can it be used for motorcycle purchases?

The 'secret loan' refers to borrowing money from family members (like parents or siblings) without interest or profit charges. It is not available to everyone, but for those lucky enough to have supportive family members, it can be a cost-effective way to buy a motorcycle.
