I've 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 need to DIY cause runner fee's are RIDICULOUS.

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

2.Seller to bring the vehicle to puspakom for inspection with geran/registration card. Request for a 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 I'm not mistaken.

-please remove your tint if it's 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

Update:
3.Proceed to JPJ for change of name request with geran and all the documents above., request change of ownership(tukar nama) document at front desk. Fill form of new and old owners details. Obtain que number from front desk and proceed to counter for IC and thumbrpint verification for both new and old vehicle owner.

4.If one party is out of state, they can go to their respective JPJ branch and complete the procedure seperately.
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.
ADDED - Hire Purchase

I thought we need to buy car insurance on the 2nd hand car we want to buy 1st, before JPJ allow us to change name ?

you can change name, just cant get roadtax if insurance isnt active. as jpj  procedure requires owner to cancel existing roadtax

Means new owner has to buy insurance 1st B4 going to JPJ to change name, cos once change name no road tax and thus can't drive the car ?

Hi I am recently selling my used car which I already have finished paying and have the geran with me. I'm selling privately to another buyer which is taking a hire purchase loan but he does it through a dealer which helps him apply the hire purchase with the bank.

Recently, he has gotten his approval and has sent me a picture of the letter of undertaking that the bank has issued to his dealer. I need to ask what is the correct measures needed to be taken from here.

1. Take car to Puspakom to get B5 & B7.
2. Do I now proceed to cancel my insurance and bring the car to JPJ for ownership transfer?

This is where I am very cautious. I do not want to do any transfers until I have been given the money for the car purchase. Does the transfer come first or the money first? Does the bank disburse the money to the dealer which then transfers the money to me? This doesn't seem very trustworthy as the dealer can run away with the money after we transfer the car even if the buyer is genuine.

So far, neither the bank or the dealer has called me up, I am worried that I will get cheated.

Really appreciate your advise guys.

Can we skip Puspakom inspection if buy direct in cash? No more loan. And no need to tear off tinting.

that would be best practice.

Old owner usually doesn't need to worry since transfer of ownership was completed, any new offences is under the new owner. New owner can also buy insurance and roadtax after change of ownership is done. As in right after. Depends on new owner.

Some do it before and straight apply for roadtax, some do it after change of ownership, they contact their agent or go outside and choose an insurance provider, then later go back in and get their roadtax

You can't!

Without puspakom report in JPJ system, no transfer of ownership can be done.

Hello, i'm new to this stuff & got a few question.

I've read all the steps but i'm not sure if i understand it right. All these steps are only applicable if you're dealing with direct seller, correct? Can we actually use these steps with used car dealer to avoid the ridiculous admin charge?

Hi I have some questions :

1) buyer agrees to buy in cash
2) car still with outstanding with bank

a)Do I proceed to settle with bank first or puspakom first?

b) assuming buyer agrees to buy , I collect a non refundable deposit, then I settle bank loan and then to jpj to change name ... then only collect full payment from buyer?

C) if buyer pays with cheque, I'll need to wait for the cheque to clear first before handling over the keys?  Wouldn't the buyer be worried if cheque cleared  and car is notwhere to be seen?

What's the best practices ya

a) you can get the puspakom inspection done first, no issue, its only the validity period that may expire IF the buyer flakes.

b & c) [once u have the ebatal] if cash, just count it when both are at JPJ (discrete la ofcourse), if cheque, it should be bankers cheque, as way less to zero chances of bouncing, as the buyer has paid the full amount to the bank in order to get the cheque.

As precaution, while waiting for cheque amount to clear, the owner may take the registration card with his name on it, while you (the ex-owner) keep the car & only send it to him once you see the cash in your account. Just make sure there is black & while on this agreement to prevent any miscommunication/hassle.

i want to ask if seller not free to go JPJ for name transfer and Puspakom for inspection, can the buyer do it himself?

Does the person need to make insurance immediately or can use current insurance? Can I transfer the insurance to the person? The person has never had a car and this will be the person first car
