Car Loan Assistance
A car loan helps finance the purchase of an eligible new or used vehicle. MoneyCashe assists customers in understanding the likely documentation, down payment, tenure and lender process. The lender decides the eligible amount, rate and vehicle acceptance after evaluating the borrower and the vehicle.
Important: MoneyCashe provides loan assistance and does not guarantee approval. Final terms depend on the lender.
New and Used Car Loans
- New-car loans are generally linked to the invoice and eligible on-road components as per lender policy.
- Used-car loans depend on vehicle age, condition, valuation, ownership records and lender acceptance.
- Some lenders also offer refinance or top-up options on eligible vehicles.
Eligibility Factors
- Stable salary, professional income or business cash flow.
- Existing EMIs and repayment capacity.
- Credit history and banking conduct.
- Vehicle model, age, valuation and registration location.

Down Payment and Tenure
