The answer

This transaction is called Murabaha banking. For it to be religiously permissible, two essential conditions must be met: The bank must fully acquire ownership of the car, and then sell it to the buyer. The bank must not charge interest on overdue car installments. There is no harm in the car remaining registered under the bank's name, as this falls under the category of pledging the sold item with the seller.
