- Interest rates on used car loans vary widely—from 8.8 per cent to 16.65 per cent
- On a Rs 5 lakh loan taken for five years at the lowest rate (8.8 per cent) , the EMI would be Rs 10,331 and the total interest payable over the loan tenure would be Rs 1,19,843
- On a similar loan taken at the highest rate of 16.65 per cent, the EMI would be Rs 12,332 and the total interest payable would be double at Rs 2,39,943
- Do compare interest rates using online web sites before deciding whom to apply to
- Loan tenures can vary from three-seven years. Remember that a longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises the total interest cost on the loan
- Some banks have steep maximum limits on processing fee going up to Rs 11,800 which you should watch out for
- Since used car loans are expensive, buyers can even explore the option of taking a personal loan (if it is cheaper) or even a top-up on an existing home loan. You could get the entire amount you need via these types of loans
