HOW WAS IT BEFORE?

The maturity and rate limitation on personal vehicle loans came in July 2021. Accordingly, the loan term was reduced from 60 months to 48 months for vehicles with a price of ₺120 thousand or less, from 48 months to 36 months for vehicles between ₺120 thousand and ₺300 thousand, and from 36 months to 24 months for vehicles with ₺300 thousand-₺750 thousand.

In addition, credit utilization rates were also limited. For example, those who want to buy a car worth ₺500 thousand can get ₺150 thousand of this as a loan. He has to pay ₺350 thousand in advance. ₺150 thousand, on the other hand, could be divided into a maximum of 24 months, so monthly installments would exceed ₺8 thousand.
