All You Need To Know About Used Car Loans

Buying a pre-owned car is an affordable alternative to owning a brand-new car. Besides giving yourself the convenience of travelling in a four-wheeler, you can save money on the market price and depreciation value and get attractive used car financing options.

To ensure your loan application process is hassle-free, here’s everything you need to know about used car loans. 

What are the benefits of a loan for used cars? 

  • Since used cars cost less than brand-new cars, you’ll apply for a smaller loan amount, which means you’d pay smaller EMIs.
  • Some lenders may finance 95% to 100% of your car value.
  • They are convenient and easy to avail. To get a used car loan, apply online with minimum documentation and get quick approval. 
  • If your business requires frequent driving, you can get a second-hand car loan for business use and claim tax benefits. 

What are the standard used car loan eligibility conditions? 

Age

  • The applicant’s age must be between 21 and 65 years

Income

  • Salaried persons should have a monthly income of at least Rs. 20,000
  • Self-employed individuals should have an annual income of Rs. 2 lakhs

Work Stability

  • Salaried persons must have a steady employment status of at least 1 year
  • Self-employed individuals must have a stable business at least 3 years old

What are the interest rates on second-hand car loans? 

While interest rates on these loans depend on your eligibility, you can qualify for more competitive used car loan interest rates if:

  • You have a high, steady income.
  • You have an excellent CIBIL score and spot-free credit history.

How to apply for a loan to buy a used car? 

Step 1-Application: Start your application by completing the online application form.

Step 2- Documentation: Pre-owned car loans require minimal documentation, as listed below. 

  • Submit a photo id such as your Aadhar Card, passport, or voter id.
  • If you’re salaried, submit a copy of your salary account statements or salary slips for the last three months.
  • If you’re self-employed, submit a photocopy of your income tax returns, audited balance sheet, profit and loss statements, and your bank statements for the last three months.
  • Submit your electricity bill, phone bill, or ration card.
  • If you’re self-employed, you must submit your business’ registration documents or property-tax receipt.
  • Submit a copy of the registration certificate for the car you are purchasing. 
  • A copy of your signature with signature proof. 

Step 3- Verification: The lender will cross-check your documents, determine your eligibility and approve your application.

Step 4- Loan sanctioning and disbursal: Once approved, your lender will sanction your loan and disburse the respective amount within 36 hours of approval.
