Tips for Smart Vehicle Loan Planning

Owning a new motorcycle or car is becoming easier with vehicle loan programs from banks or leasing companies. However, monthly installment advertisements often look cheap, but the total money you spend at the end of the term can be very high. Our Car & Motorcycle Loan Calculator helps you break down the actual costs behind the offered monthly installments.

Things to Note Before Taking a Vehicle Loan

Buying a vehicle on credit involves several initial cost components:

  • 1OTR (On The Road) Price: The complete price of the vehicle including registration and documentation (Title & Registration).
  • 2DP (Down Payment): The minimum down payment is usually regulated and varies between 10% to 20% depending on the financing institution's policy.
  • 3Administrative & Provision Fees: Fees for processing loan documents are usually paid upfront.
  • 4Vehicle Insurance: Almost all vehicle loans require insurance (Full Coverage or Total Loss Only) during the loan term.

    • Difference Between Flat and Effective Interest

    Most leasing companies use Flat Interest to make installments look low. However, mathematically, a 5% flat interest is actually equivalent to an effective interest rate that is almost twice as high.

  • •Flat Interest: Benefit for customers is a monthly installment value that stays the same and is easy to calculate.
  • •Effective Interest: Generally offered by large banks for car loans. The interest is calculated based on the remaining principal debt, making it fairer for customers if they want to make early repayments.

    • Determining a Wise Loan Term

    Although a 5 to 7-year term makes installments very light, keep in mind that a vehicle is a Depreciating asset (decreasing in value). Don't let your remaining debt in the 5th year be larger than the resale price of your car in that year. An ideal term for vehicles usually ranges between 3 to 5 years.

    How to Use the Vehicle Installment Calculator

    Simply enter the OTR Price of the vehicle, select the down payment amount you can afford, enter the annual interest rate, and choose the term. The calculator will provide an estimate of the monthly installment and the total money you will pay until it is paid off. Use these figures to compare offers from various dealers or banks.

    ? Frequently Asked Questions

    Q What is OTR (On The Road) Price?

    The OTR price is the purchase price of the vehicle which already includes taxes and fees for legal documents like registration and title, so the vehicle is ready for immediate use on the road.

    Q What is the minimum down payment for a car loan?

    Regulations vary by region. While some areas allow for 0% down payment for those with good risk profiles, generally, a 15% to 25% down payment is a safe choice to keep installments manageable.

    Q What is the difference between Full Coverage and TLO insurance?

    Full Coverage (Comprehensive) covers all types of damage from scratches to loss. TLO (Total Loss Only) only covers if the vehicle is lost or totally damaged above 75%.

    Q Can I make an early repayment on a motorcycle loan?

    Yes, but there is usually a penalty according to the contract. You should re-check your loan agreement clauses before making a repayment before the end of the term.

    Q Is the interest rate for a used car loan more expensive?

    Generally, yes. Interest rates for used cars are usually several percentage points higher than for new cars because of the higher asset risk for the lender.
