Understanding Car Loans

A car loan is a secured loan where the vehicle itself acts as collateral. This makes interest rates lower compared to personal loans. Banks typically finance 80-90% of the car's ex-showroom price.

On-Road Price includes: Ex-showroom price + Registration charges + Road Tax + Insurance + Accessories. This is typically 15-20% higher than ex-showroom price.

Most lenders require a down payment of 10-20% of the vehicle price. Higher down payment reduces your EMI burden and total interest outgo.

Smart Car Buying Tips

  • Negotiate car price before discussing loan - dealers earn commission on loans
  • Compare interest rates from banks, NBFCs, and manufacturer finance
  • Check for prepayment penalties - some loans allow free foreclosure
  • Budget for annual maintenance (~₹15,000-50,000 depending on car)
  • Don't stretch tenure beyond 5 years - car depreciation exceeds loan value
  • EMI shouldn't exceed 15-20% of your monthly income
