Planning to buy a car? Here's a snapshot of loan rates by various banks

The deal being offered at the car showroom may not be most attractive

When you go car shopping, car dealers offer you a loan through a pre-existing tie-up with a financier. Remember, dealers usually get 1-2 per cent commission on your loan.

It makes sense to shop around by checking out what other lenders are offering—your bank, other banks, and NBFCs.

Many times, your bank may offer you a pre-approved loan. Find out if you have this offer. You can negotiate with your bank to give you a better rate on such a loan.

Use your pre-existing relationship with your bank to get a car loan at concessional rates.

Remember, interest rates can differ for different car models even if the loan is taken from the same bank. This can impact your overall budget.

Bank employees have to meet month-end targets and may get frantic to close the deal around that time. Use it to pressurise them to give you better terms — a processing fee waiver, perhaps.
