Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Auto loan in Safi

New vs used auto loan: what is the rate difference?

Loans on new cars enjoy rates 80-150 bps lower than on used cars (lower residual risk). Example: 5.8% new vs 7.2% used (3 years). Dealers often run subsidised promotional rates (2.9-3.9%) on new vehicles.

What is the optimal duration for an auto loan?

Sweet spot is 48-60 months. Beyond 60 months total interest cost balloons (up to 40% of the vehicle price) and the residual value drops below the outstanding principal.

Auto loan or leasing (LOA): which one to pick?

A classic loan makes you the owner immediately. Leasing with a purchase option (LOA) offers monthly payments 30-40% lower but you do not own the car during the contract. LOA suits professionals (tax benefits); a classic loan suits private buyers wanting to resell or keep the vehicle.

Can I repay my auto loan early?

Yes — Moroccan law (Law 31-08) allows partial or full early repayment. Penalties may apply (0.5-1% of the prepaid principal) unless repayment occurs in the last 3 months of the contract.

Auto loan in Safi: are rates different from elsewhere?
