The answer

If the bank genuinely purchases the car, it is permissible for it to sell it to the customer at the agreed price, whether paid in installments or deferred. However, if the bank does not actually purchase the car, but instead pays its price to the seller so that it can take more from the customer in installments, this is considered a usurious loan; because "every loan that draws a benefit is usury."
