What you need to know before applying for a loan

Most banks offer a loan for upto 80% of the car’s value. So keep in mind that you will need to  pay 20% down payment in advance when considering your finances. Some banks also need  you to be paying a certain minimum amount for your car to qualify for a loan.

There is also a minimum age of 21 and your monthly salary needs to fall between a certain  bracket to be considered for a loan. This bracket differs from bank to bank but is usually around  4000-5000.

The loan term usually lasts upto 48 to 60 months. If you choose a shorter loan term , your  monthly payment will be higher. However, a longer loan term will require you to pay more  interest to the bank.
