Any way, in case of car finance there is no much paper work involved like the housing loan. Lenders normally do not go for any asset verification of the borrower in case of such finance. Just have a look at the process of obtaining loan for purchasing a car.

The amount of the personal loan for purchasing a car may differ from lender to lender as the lending capacity is not the same among all the lenders. The amount of the loan may also depend on the model of the car to be purchased. Normally, the banks offer 90% of the cost of the car before the car is actually purchased. The minimum loan amount for a new car is generally Rs. 1 lac and in case of used car the minimum finance offered is Rs.75,000. The repayment period of car loans stretch from 1 to 7 years which may be changed prior to the sanction of the loan by the lender. The rate of interest and the EMI may change depending on the personal loan for the purpose. Although, the date of monthly instalment of the loan depends on the date of disbursement of the loan it is generally the 5th and 10th of every month. There are borrowers who pay their instalments through post dated check and if you are interested you can do the same. Do remember that the cheque that you issue does not bounce otherwise you will have to bear the penalty for the same.
