Tips to use your Quick Loan smartly

Tip 1

Understand your repayment capacity before applying

Before you apply for a personal loan for used car, review your monthly income, existing EMIs, and regular expenses. This helps ensure that the new loan remains affordable and does not put unnecessary pressure on your finances.

Tip 2

Compare financing options carefully

A personal loan like FIRSTmoney offers flexibility, while a used car loan may offer structured funding benefits. Compare interest rates, tenure options, and eligibility criteria before deciding which option best suits your needs.

Tip 3

Choose a suitable tenure and stay disciplined with repayments

When you apply for a personal loan for used car, select a repayment tenure between 9 to 60 months that balances EMI affordability and total interest cost. Timely EMI payments can help maintain a healthy credit score and improve future borrowing prospects.

Personal Loan for Used Card FAQs: Key Questions Answered

Can I use a personal loan to buy a used car?

Yes, a personal loan like FIRSTmoney can be used to buy a used car without any restrictions on how the funds are utilised. It is not tied to the vehicle, which gives you complete flexibility in choosing the car, negotiating with the seller, and completing the purchase without any lender-imposed conditions.

Is a personal loan better than a used car loan for a second-hand vehicle?

A FIRSTmoney personal loan offers flexibility and fewer restrictions, which makes it suitable if you want quick access to funds or are buying from an individual seller. It also provides you loans at competitive interest rates starting from 9.99% p.a. However, a used car loan may offer structured benefits such as higher funding value and defined interest rates starting from 11.99%, depending on the loan type and eligibility. 

What is the maximum loan amount I can get to buy a used car?

The loan amount for a low interest personal loan depends on your income, credit profile, and repayment capacity. With FIRSTmoney smart personal loans, you can get loan amounts ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹15 lakh to buy a used car.

How quickly will the loan amount be disbursed to my account?

Loan disbursal timelines vary based on eligibility and documentation. IDFC FIRST Bank’ FIRSTmoney offers an instant sanction of up to ₹15 lakh in 10 minutes for eligible customers. 

What CIBIL score do I need for a personal loan to buy a used car?

To get a FIRSTmoney personal loan for used car, a CIBIL score of 710 or above is required for salaried professionals and 760 or above for self-employed. 

Can I buy any used car with a personal loan, regardless of how old it is?

Yes, a personal loan allows you to purchase any used car without restrictions on the vehicle’s age, brand, or seller type. This flexibility makes it easier to explore more options in the market. In contrast, used car loans may have specific conditions related to vehicle valuation and eligibility.

Is there any down payment required for a personal loan to buy a used car?

Using a personal loan like FIRSTmoney for buying a used car does not require a down payment because it is not linked to the car’s value. You receive a lump sum amount based on your eligibility and can use it as needed. 

Can a self-employed individual get a personal loan to buy a used car?

Yes, self-employed individuals can apply for a personal loan for second-hand car if they meet the lender’s eligibility criteria, such as any conditions for income and repayment capacity. For FIRSTmoney personal loan self-employed applicants need a CIBIL score of 760 or above to apply.

Will taking a personal loan for a used car affect my CIBIL score?

Yes, taking a personal loan will impact your CIBIL score. When you apply, a hard enquiry will be generated that temporarily drops your credit score by a few points. When you take on this additional loan, your overall debt increases. However, timely repayment of EMIs will steadily improve your score over time. Missing any EMIs can hurt your credit score.

Can I prepay my personal loan for a used car?

Prepayment options for personal loans depend on the lender’s terms and conditions. Some lenders allow early repayment with or without charges. It is important to review the loan agreement and personal loan interest rates carefully before applying. FIRSTmoney smart personal loans comes with zero foreclosure charges.
