While buying a car is something very pleasant, the loan isn't. Many Indians find the car loan process very tedious. Many get into messy situations because of ignorance in the initial stage. This article educates users on getting the best car loan without too many stumbling blocks.

Firstly, it is very good if you have a part of the car amount saved. A little bit of planning in advance can save you quite some money while the car purchase is being done. You may not want the loan immediately. But, plan in advance and have your savings ready. If you have any loans still pending, pay them off. If it is not possible, consolidate the loans. Having too many unpaid loans is not a good sign and lenders may hesitate to grant another loan. Having a clean credit is very important to get a good deal on your new car loan.

Figure out how much your current car is worth and how much you owe on it. Calculate how much you can afford on the new car. Not just that, the car loan interest too needs to be calculated. Consider the insurance amount and cash that would be required for maintaining the new car too. See how much you have already ...
... saved. This would go as down payment while the rest will have to be borrowed as loan.

Make as large a down payment as possible. The loan interest depends on the amount borrowed and a lower loan amount will get you a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments. Using the EMI calculators on various car loan lender web sites, calculate the amount you would have to pay every month.

It is advisable to not go for a trade-in with your new car dealer. Also do not opt for a loan from the dealer. Apply online instead. It will save you time, money and grief, both on your new car cost and the loan amount. Applying for multiple auto loan quotes increases your chances of getting the best loan. Collect no-obligation loan quotes from as many web sites as possible. This will help negotiate the rates during the latter part of the loan process too. Also, applying for the auto loan online gets you the approval faster.

Once you've negotiated to the maximum extent with the dealer offering the least interest rate and EMI, make the deal. But, before signing any of the loan papers, check to make sure you have clearly understood everything. It is very important to understand all the hidden terms and conditions to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble and penalties. If you are not convinced about any minor detail too, just leave the place. There are plenty of lenders just waiting to get you a car loan deal.
