  1. Don’t buy a very old used car: Most banks want you to repay all of your loan before the car is ten years old. If you choose a very old used car, your monthly payments can become unaffordable or the bank may reject your application. Increase your options and check out this cool list of cheapest new cars in the UAE.
  2. Arrange the down payment: Check your bank balance before you shop for a car. Your bank will process your loan after you have deposited 20-30% of the car’ sale price as down payment. Wondering what all those fancy banking terms on your documents mean? Check out this helpful financing glossary.
  3. A salary account with the same bank can help: Some banks will give you a much better rate if your monthly salary is transferred to an account with the same bank. It might even be worth opening a new bank account to get this benefit.
  4. Leverage your salary: Your salary plays a very big role in determining the interest rate. If you have a high salary and work for a reputable company as a permanent employee, your bank will see you as a low-risk customer. Make sure that your salary certificate reflects your full compensation, including bonuses, allowances, etc. Keep in mind that the Bank would tally your salary with payments into your Bank account. 
  5. Shop around and negotiate: You’d be surprised by how many banks are willing to negotiate not just the rate but also other charges like processing fee and early payment penalty, which can really add up.
