General Procedure Followed By Banks
When a car pledge is extended by a person for some loan, as the first step of the process, the bank sends over some experts of vehicles so that they can examine the condition of your car. Since they are accepting your car as the collateral, they need to make an appreciation of your car’s age, the overall status of the vehicle and also the general depreciation that can be expected out of the vehicle.
The loan amount that will be extended by the bank can vary from 80% value of the car to that of 150%. It will be affected by the bank’s policy and also your risk profile. Once you have extended your car as collateral, you cannot sell it any further. An endorsement will be made on the registration document stating that your car has been extended as collateral for a loan.
