I dont know ,you should ask him. But one thing what i feel is we must always buy things which is necessity for our life .

Indeed, Allah likes not those who commit excess. Quraan 7:31

even if we have more money and can afford it we must not go on excess. And we have people who cant afford it and buy cars and bikes in installments by paying interest which is haram. Least matter of concern nowadays. As believers we must follow the Quran.

Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.2:276

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.2:275

Why not simply take the delivery from the car showroom than the mall???!
