A used car loan, also known as a pre-owned car loan, is a financing option specifically designed to help you purchase a second-hand vehicle. It differs from a loan against car, which allows you to borrow funds using a car you already own as collateral. With a pre-owned car loan, you receive a lump sum amount to buy the vehicle, which you repay in instalments along with interest over a chosen tenure.

What is the difference between a used car loan and a new car loan?

IDFC FIRST Bank offers extended tenures on pre-owned car loans for easy repayments. You can choose from tenures ranging from 12 to 84 months, based on your repayment capacity.

What are the factors affecting pre-owned car loan interest rates?

The interest rate on a pre-owned car loan depends on several factors, including:

  1. Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio
    This ratio compares your total monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income. It helps lenders assess your ability to manage additional loan repayments. A lower DTI ratio indicates fewer existing financial obligations relative to your income, making you more likely to qualify for a lower interest rate.

  2. Credit Score and Credit History
    Your credit score and history reflect your past financial behaviour, such as repayment patterns, credit utilization, length of credit history, and the types of credit accounts you hold. A strong credit score and a clean repayment record suggest lower risk to the lender, often resulting in better interest rates.

  3. Income Bracket
    Your annual income bracket gives insight into your repayment capacity and overall financial stability. Higher income levels generally increase your eligibility for favourable interest rates.

  4. Age and Model of the Vehicle
    o Certain car makes and models retain their value better, which can influence the interest rate offered.

    o Newer used cars typically attract lower interest rates than older ones, as they are more reliable, have fewer maintenance issues, and may still be under warranty, reducing the lender’s risk.

  5. Loan Tenure
    Shorter loan tenures usually come with lower interest rates because they reduce the lender’s risk and result in lower total interest paid. Conversely, longer tenures may attract higher interest rates due to the extended repayment period and increased exposure to default risk.

What is the processing fee for a pre-owned car loan?

A processing fee is a one-time charge levied by the bank to cover administrative costs associated with processing your loan application. IDFC FIRST Bank offers one of the lowest processing fees on used car loans, starting at just 1% of the principal loan amount or ₹5,000, whichever is higher.

In certain cases, a lower foreclosure charge may be applicable if pre-approved before disbursement.

No, a guarantor is not required to apply for a used car loan with IDFC FIRST Bank. However, if you do not meet certain eligibility criteria, the bank may request a co-applicant to approve the loan.

Will there be any charges levied in case I prepay the car loan?

How is the EMI calculated for a used car loan?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) for a used car loan is calculated based on the loan amount, interest rates and the tenure for which the car is financed. The used car loan EMI is calculated using the formula:

EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n – 1]

Where:

• P = Principal loan amount

• r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)

• n = Loan tenure in months

To simplify this calculation, you can use IDFC FIRST Bank's online EMI calculator, which provides instant results based on your input values.

How can I reduce my EMI amount for a used car loan?

To lower your EMI for a used car loan, consider the following strategies:

Opt for a longer tenure: Extending the loan tenure reduces the monthly EMI, though it may increase the total interest paid overtime.

Make a higher down payment: Paying a larger upfront amount decreases the loan principal, thereby reducing the EMI.

Refinance your loan: If you have an existing loan, consider transferring to a lender offering a lower interest rate.

Improve your credit score: A better credit score may help you qualify for loans with lower interest rates, thus decreasing your EMI.

It's advisable to assess your financial situation and consult with the bank to choose the best option for reducing your EMI.

How does car loan tenure affect EMI calculation?

As a borrower, your repayment capacity and loan category determine your ideal term for a car loan. You pay less EMIs over the course of your loan when you have a longer loan tenure, but you pay more in interest over the course of the loan. Therefore, you need to choose a loan tenure that fits your budget while allowing you to pay off the loan within a reasonable timeframe.
