    a friend was able to get 6% p.a. for a 2 yr P1M car loan from metrobank. although it might be a break-even arrangement w/ hold-out for their time deposit.

Just be friendly and maintain good rapport with the loan officers or bank manager. Don't commit at first. Good luck!
    +1! make those banks fight each other so you'll get the best deal. ask each bank at least twice. good luck!

    I think you're mistaken. The way they "compute" it makes it look like 5% to most people. But it's probaby around twice that.

    I think many of you are sadly misled -- the 6.10% (or sub-5% rate) mentioned is not an annual interest rate...

    Interest rates should be properly quoted as an ANNUAL rate to make them fully comparable.

    What some frequently do is just add up all interest payments over the life of the loan and simply divide it by the initial principal. That's the wrong way to do it.

    For example, if you pay P50,000 in interest over a one-year amortizing loan of P1,000,000, the effective annual interest rate is NOT 5% (50,000 / 1,000,000) since you are already paying down the loan monthly. Remember that your outstanding balance after one (or two or three) amortization payment/s is already lower than P1,000,000. So you're paying interest on a balance that's less than P1,000,000.

    (The effective annual interest in the above example is actually 9.1% in this case.)

    The marketing materials of banks just makes the rates look deceptively lower.

    Do you know of any bank or institution that accepts car loan refinancing?
    I am resigning from my company and I have an existing car loan from them with about 300k as remaining balance... been talking to BDO and BPI, it seems they do not accept this kind of arrangement for cars.. only for real estate.
