How do you get a loan for a used car?

The Indian used car market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 11% and the used car finance market, at a CAGR of 8%. This goes to show that prospective car owners are willing to go the extra mile to realise their dreams and Banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are stepping up to help.

Used car loan presents prospective buyers with the following benefits:

• The loan amount is lower when compared to the loan amount for a new car. The used car loan calculator, therefore, will tabulate a lower monthly EMI.
• The application process for a used car loan is simpler and requires minimum documents.
• 100% used car finance may be available with some banks or NBFCs.
