Most financial institutions have held back on financing cars of 10 years and above.

For discussion sake, how are you guys who have just purchased cars of 10 years and older financing your car besides those paying cash.
 
loan from credit company
loan from friends/relative
personal loan from bank

fyi, bank still can accept non national car not more than 12 years but depends on model and variant. they are very selective and also interest rate will be very very high, loan margin only 50% of car price and tenure only 4 years. but it based on panel used car recommendation also...
 
So if buy via a car dealer the chances of getting financing is higher than getting your own loan if you buy direct from eseller.

I've checked with a few institutions.
Technically besides some credit companies, only Public Bank is willing to finance older cars. Other banks a strict no. That also margin of financing by Public Bank is low and interest rate is exorbitant.
 
work for a bank... get staff personal loan :P :P.. thats how I get my car
 
cars more than 10 years available from credit company, the last i checked was somewhere last year october
10% interest rate
 
yupp... normally credit company interest rate around 10% - 12%..:banghead:
based from my friend experience want to buy 1992 eg9 at used car dealer..
 
BMW Credit and UMW Credit used to provide loan for such cars. But now they suddenly stopped. their interest rate charged is also quite reasonable between 4-6%. now that they have revised their policy on cars above 10 years old. seems like there are no other avenues for financing except personal loan.
 
credit company still an option, but they are very selective and interest is between 8% to 12% depends on amount, variant and tenure..
 
i heard that if u take up a loan from a credit company, but u default on yr payments,
yr name wont be blacklisted CCRIS & CTOS, is it true?
 
it depends on the credit company, if they are licensed and had agreement signed then when default, they will report to CCRIS & update in CTOS....then automatically your name will end up in FIS....
but if those illegal credit company (no formal agreement) then no Ctos but u will end up get wack for not paying up...they are also known as ahlong...
 
depending on wat car also, satria gti more than 10years also can be loaned..
 
mine was around 3.99% for 10years... for p/loan thats quite low by B.Islam as loan amount can go up to 40x basic salary
 
im also facing the same problem , i tried to get year 2002 subaru , price rm 96k (its a spec c ) , down payment 50k borrow 46k . also kena rejected because i owe 1 month installment . so i get a guarantor with 400k personal savings bank also reject cuz the guarantor owes 1.2k to a golf membership which got nothing to do with the damn banks .... pay de still need to wait for 6 months . IF NEED TO WAIT FOR 6 MONTHS ALSO NO NEED GUARANTOR LA DENG !!!!
 
Nowadays, financial institutions such as banks and even credit companies are very careful in giving out loans. Loan defaulters, blacklisted people, people who even pay late would have a very hard time in getting loans from these institutions. Even those with a very high outstanding commitments such as with credit cards, personal and housings loans are not excluded. These are all new Bank Negara guide lines as Non Performing Loans are very high.
Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) and CTOS are two databases that these financial institutions use to check on your credit rating. So don't believe what you hear outside regarding failure to pay up your debts will not result you being blacklisted. Failure to even pay your Celular bills, furniture /electrical item loans will result you being listed as a loan defaulter. Mind you some people are not even paying for their PTPTN loans and they want to get a new loans for a car or a house.
So the only solution is to borrow from Illegal Moneylenders a.k.a Ah Longs. Even these 'Ah Longs' are very careful in who and how much loans they give out too. High interest rates and high processing fees are the highlights of borrowing from these people not to mention when failure to pay up will result you being harrassed, splashed with red paint, get beaten up or worst if they go extort from your families.

I guess I'm the lucky one... Got my car in August last year... Car was year 2000 n registered 2006... Managed to loan 70,000 for 7yrs at 5.5% int. P.a from public bank... Even the dealer was surprised dat I get 7yrs loan... I believe the connection of car dealer wif the bank's manager plays an important role as well...
But I did heard it's harder to get loan now after bank Negara revision beginning tis year...
