Did A Bank Have More Profit On A Old Loan Car , Then On A New One?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

Can someone give me more information , about the profit from a loan car by the bank?

My gf told me that our scb loan charge 6 procent for our used car , in total for 3 years, and for a new one it is only the half 3 procent of the total amount!

Is this the normal way the bank do?

Interest rates for used cars are indeed higher than for new cars, plus the repayments are subject to 7% VAT, which is not the case for new.

As for whether banks make more profit from them though, that's unlikely - a combination of higher risk (lower down payments/ higher default rates) and lower delinquent recovery values probably evens it out.

If the bank charges double interest for a second hand car, that can mean 2 things:

1) they can ask that rate because there is no/less competition, or, more probable;

2) they have to because the risk is higher.
