Understanding Loan Interest Rates
Used car loan interest rates are typically higher than those for new cars. Rates can vary from bank to bank and are often influenced by the car's age. For vehicles between one to five years old, you might see rates starting from around 3.65% p.a., while older vehicles may have higher rates. It's always best to compare offers from different banks to find the most competitive rate.
