It’s a good question, but the answer is no. A perpetuity is a security or bond that pays infinitely.
A
car loan
, on the other hand, is paid until all the money is paid back for the vehicle. A car loan is an example of an installment loan, meaning that regular payments are made until the loan is paid off.
To sum it up, a perpetuity lasts forever (think: perpetual) while a car loan has an end date.
