SimonTan 2nd Gear May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 No minimum loan. Go ahead plan your budget. Minimum loan only imposed by PI and SE who wants to earn commissions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those which have minimum limit is starts from $10,000 :) The other banks that provide lower loan amount will charge high interest rate.

L_club23 4th Gear May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 (edited) I believe no real minimum loan amount, but different interest rates will be tagged to the different quantums. Edited May 21, 2012 by L_club23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i know is no min loan if im not wrong. of cos u dont go there say u only want borrow 5k. Even the bank loan you 5K also not worth, cause not worth paying the interest since you only loan for a small amount. I would say loan at least 10K or more lo.

JimmyMcG1978 Neutral Newbie June 12, 2012 Share June 12, 2012 Not if you're taking the loan from a bank. Anyway banks like DBS, OCBC, UOB etc. have some of the best car loan packages in town. Better than those finance companies, if the loan amount is too low, they won't want as they can't make enough money. Plus so many hidden fees etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Json Neutral Newbie June 12, 2012 Share June 12, 2012 So far I haven't heard of loan amount. If there is really such requirements, then you just have to shorten your repayment period. Shortening your repayment period or loan amount will both lead to lower interest payout. Heard of some loan package at 1.68%. Advise you to check on their t&c such as early full settlement charges. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
