When applying for vehicle financing, banks and auto finance companies mainly look at these aspects. You must have valid identification documents and be between 18 and 60 years old. Proof of income is crucial—you'll need to provide salary statements or tax records for the past six months, with monthly income being at least twice the amount of the monthly car loan payment. Your credit history must be clean; any past credit card late payments or loan defaults could jeopardize approval. Additionally, you'll need to prepare a minimum down payment of 20%, with some luxury models requiring 30%. If you're self-employed, you may also need to supplement with a business license or asset proof. Before purchasing a car, it's best to check your credit report first to avoid unnecessary trips.

Last month, I helped a relative with a car loan application, and it was quite an experience. The work unit needs to be stable, preferably with at least six months at the current employer. For income, the monthly fixed deposits on the bank statement must be clear, as part-time income usually doesn't count. Credit-wise, avoid any small loan records—my relative was almost rejected because of a previous online loan. The down payment ratio depends on the car model: typically 20% for domestic cars and often 30% for imported ones. Remember to bring all required documents: ID card, household register, income proof, bank statements, and for married applicants, the marriage certificate. The entire process can take as little as three days or up to a week. After the loan is disbursed, carefully review the contract interest rate.

When it comes to auto loan conditions, the core issue is risk control. Financial institutions prioritize repayment capacity the most, requiring applicants' monthly income to be 1.5 to 2 times the monthly payment. Having records of overdue repayments on the credit report can be problematic, especially if there have been more than three consecutive late payments in the past two years. Those with a debt-to-income ratio exceeding 50% have little chance, such as when existing mortgage and car loan payments already account for half of one's income. In terms of profession, stable occupations like civil servants, teachers, and doctors are most favored. The down payment must come from legal sources, and large sums suddenly deposited into an account require explanation. The guarantee aspect also cannot be overlooked, as many car models require local property as collateral or a guarantor with local household registration.
