Car Loan Transfer

Hi Expats,
I have a question , i bought a car with a car loan from ANB Bank, since am going for a final exit, I tried to move my car loan to my friend who is interested to buy my car, but when I enquired the bank they said he need to pay the down payment of 7000 SAR again to transfer on his name (treating as a new car loan)?
Is it true?
I heard only there will be a transaction fees of 1500-2000 SAR only.
But the bank guy is telling like this.
Is this correct?
Any help or experience like this

Shouldn't be like that. the lads on the desk are useless. Try and speak to their manager.

:/  yeah, maybe, these are scrupulous agents are just trying to squeeze more money outta ya!
and there's one guy here before @Uakine....having the same problem...(maybe same bank)....try to get in touch with him or browse through the forum here of his post
