Selling My Car via Carsome 🚗

Sold my 2010 car via Carsome.

The process was fast and stress-free, it was worth it!

I didn't have to go to Puspakom to get the B5 inspection, run ads, answer calls / enquiries, or host multiple meet ups with strangers for test drives.

First, I scheduled an appointment with Carsome online, and arrived on time on the day of the appointment for the car inspection which took about an hour. You need to bring your vehicle ownership registration card (geran), road tax copy, IC and spare car keys for the inspection. (In my case, the car was no longer under a loan)

I washed the car, pumped the tyres and ensured all personal belongings were cleared out beforehand so the car was in tip top condition during the inspection, having been recently serviced too.

After the car inspection, they quote an offer price for the car, and you have to confirm whether to accept it within 24 hours. If you are not satisfied with the offer, you can opt for online bidding (which comes with a slightly higher handling fee). You can choose not to proceed if the bidded price is still unsatisfactory, but you can no longer accept the initial direct offer from Carsome.

On the same day, I also did an inspection with Carro (f.k.a MyTukar) to get a comparison quote. I negotiated with both platforms to get the best deal, and eventually I decided to go with Carsome.

I handed in the car the following morning, e-signed the offer letter from Carsome, did the thumbprint, received the ownership transfer copy via email, and received the full payment by afternoon. 

Make sure the amount stated on the Carsome offer letter matches the agreed price.

Will miss my baby car 💕

Thank you for taking me places. 

So proud to have owned you ❤️
