How to decide
Flat-rate hire-purchase interest is commonly applied to the original financed amount. That presentation is not directly comparable with a reducing-balance rate.
A practical process
Subtract deposit and rebates from price; calculate flat interest over the full term; add it to principal; divide by months; then budget insurance, fuel, servicing and parking.
