Hi guys,
Thanks for all the advice shown here.
Was about to buy a used car with Hire Purchase using a runner.
Runner charges :-
1. Transfer fee :- RM360
2. Inspection fee :- RM200
3. Agreement fee :- RM600
4. GST : RM1000
5. Insurance : RM480

Looks like I'll save about RM2000 without using a runner.

Thanks.

I am in the same situation right now. Want to buy a car situated in Johor but am in KL. Checked with runner and they are charging similar to yours. What is this GST fee? Gst on what? Loan amount or car sales price? Anyone know? My case alone runner wants 4k plus.

During the transfer, do i need purchase the insurance and renew road tax. Because not use at thia moment and want to buy insurance latter

Thank you in advance

Ive seen this question quite a few times here and there, just thought ill do a short step by step write up to help those who needs to DIY cause runner fee's are RIDICULOUS.

1. Buyer and seller to discuss who will pay for inspection and change of ownership fee's.
-Inspection Rm30
-Change Name - Rm150

2.Seller to bring car to puspakom to complete inspection with geran/registration card. Request for form at the counter. complete inspection and collect the slip/result.
B5 - if new owner buys with cash
B5/B7 - if new owner is using hire purchase/car loan, once done provide approval slip to bank and bank will do name transfer on their side, you pay the bank rm300-400 depends on the banks...they call this transfer fee if im not mistaken.

-please remove your tint if its too dark yourself by going over to an accesory shop, they can charge between rm30-60 depends on car/place etc.. if not puspakom guys will just tear it off and leave the gum all there or just fail you.
-some are even open on saturdays for those who are busy working during weekdays. can check out their site
Puspakom Branches and Opening Hours

3.Once done, print out chang of ownership form 2 copies or go to the nearest used car dealer and get the form from them. One for buyer and one for seller. A copy of each IC, sign on the form together with right THUMBPRINT. (it is not indicated on the form which finger,so please take note). If buyer or seller are from different states, can be done via courier/post, only original is accepted.

Tukar Milik JPJ Forms

4.Proceed to JPJ for change of name request with geran and all the documents above.

For those who cant go to jpj directly:

Runner fees for inspection can range from rm80-rm150, and change name rm300. for those who dont have time, can use this services. For those who needs special request due to punched engine number, mounting modification, no approvla for sunroof etc or aka special case, you have no choice but to bare the fee's of a runner which is going to cost definitely more than Rm150 for special case. I even heard of Rm1k for this kind of situations.

Prepare your geran, photocopy of IC buyer and seller and hand over to runner. He will also need the original signed copy of the forms mentioned above.

ADDED:

For those who want, can aslo call puspakom 03-20527474 and schedule an appointment 3 days in advance to come over to your house and perform the inspection Rm100 service fee+rm30. However only certain branches can offer this services, so check at the link above or contact them.

Hi guys. I need advice. I'm buying vw pre reg car. Which already registered under different number. Now i want to change to my own number.  The vw runner asking rm1.7k to change number. But i found few motor bike shop willing to do for rm1k. So im planning do it my self without using vw runner. Can list down the procedure bros?  Thank u in advance

Why not ask the motor shop to settle for you?

I believe u just need to make an appointment with puspakom and inspect your car.

Tell puspakom what u intend to do, they should be able to advise you the type of inspection that you need to do.

hei guys i am looking to buy a hyundai elantra 2001-2 model and the owner says the road tax and insurance is valid till next year
i heard that no matter the length of the insurance and road tax you have to cancel both of them and then buy new ones when you buy a car
can i get some info ?
thanks

Yes, both insurance & roadtax must be cancelled by the previous owner.

so whats the norm around here ?
does the buyer or seller has to pay for the insurance around here if its cancelled by the owner ?
