If you want to get your loan approved as soon as possible, there are four ways to help you achieve a quick approval.\r\n<h2>How do you get a quick car loan approval?<\/h2>\r\n<h3>1. Know the Required Documentation<\/h3>\r\nThere is more to a car loan than just signing an agreement. The number one documentation loaners want to see is proof of income. Why would they approve of a $27,000 loan if you only make $500 a month? Make sure you have proof or your earnings and you can contact the loaner beforehand to find out what types of documentation, like a computerized payslip or employer letter, they accept. You will need proof of identification as well so make sure you have your driver\u2019s license ready and find out if you need a secondary form of identification. Failing to bring all the required documentation can slow down the approval process.\r\n<h3>2. Calculate Your Down Payment<\/h3>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_5888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5888\" style=\"width: 386px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5888\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpwww.firstcarguide.comwordpresswp-contentuploadshow-much-down-payment-on-car-loan.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"386\" height=\"257\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: httpwww.firstcarguide.comwordpresswp-contentuploadshow-much-down-payment-on-car-loan.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nThe Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) requires open market value (OMV) prices of $20,000 or lower to have up to a 40% down payment. Cars reaching above OMV of $20,000 can require a 30% down payment. If you are going to get a loan agreement and cannot make the appropriate down payment, you are not going to get approved. Be mindful not to walk-in with just enough money to pay the down-payment. Loaners or dealers may have fees for you to pay that are not included in the down payment. You can contact the appropriate agency to see if there are other expenses you can expect aside from the down payment.\r\n<h3>3. Understand What You Qualify For<\/h3>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_5889\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5889\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5889\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-1068x534.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg-840x420.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: httpi.huffpost.comgen1898842imageso-INCOME-facebook.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nCar loan approvals take things like your current debts and monthly income into consideration when making a final decision. Average car payments will take 20 to 40 per cent of your monthly income. So, if your monthly income can afford a $700 monthly payment but you apply for a loan that will require $850, you are going to be denied and will have to start the process all over. The monthly amount you can afford can be based on what your average income is or how much money is already being taken out for other debts. Find out what payment percentage will be applicable to you and apply for a loan amount that you can afford.\r\n<h3>4. Don\u2019t Forget Your Credit Score<\/h3>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_5890\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5890\" style=\"width: 302px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5890\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpsmesamortgage.comwp-contentuploads201502credit-score-ratings.png.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"171\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpsmesamortgage.comwp-contentuploads201502credit-score-ratings.png.png 302w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/httpsmesamortgage.comwp-contentuploads201502credit-score-ratings.png-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: httpsmesamortgage.comwp-contentuploads201502credit-score-ratings.png<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nYour credit score will influence whether your loan would be approved or the quantum would be given. Although you can be loaned 70% of the purchase price, the bank is not forced to give you that amount; making you pay a higher down payment. See where your credit score is at and determine if you need to save more money or build higher credit.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">5.
