You have to buy insurance as the owner & insured must be the same person. Insured period can exceed roadtax, not vise versa, so depending on the current road tax. Cancellation of roadtax can be done at JPJ during change of name, balance will be refunded but need to fill in form & must photocopy bank book with account details.

Yes, all this BEFORE you go JPJ, they are the last step.

Inspection is valid for 1 month, however since you mentioned the previous inspection done for the first name change and you no longer have the PUSPAKOM cert of inspection, which you will need to produce during change of ownership at JPJ, I would guess you'd have to do inspection again... Call up PUSPAKOM & JPJ to clarify.

Before change of ownership, new engine number must be registered in both their system and on your grant.

In all of years of selling my 4 cars, I've never had car dealers calling me insistently. Maybe its because all my cars are at least 15years old .

But seriously, what car are you selling?, it it below market price? I couldn't image used car dealers wanting more inventory from the many conversations I've had with them..but what do I know.

Ah, below market price sure alot of fish will bite.

I'm not clear on the change name procedure now, but I cant imagine they can change ownership (even temporary) without any official letter stating the vehicle is road worthy, sounds silly...but then again, we are living in a silly country...so anything is "boleh".

But on a serious note; https://www.myeg.com.my/faq/stms.html#q07

Looks like for Temporary Ownership Transfer System, no puspakom needed... looks like its time for us to return the favour to used car dealers & sell them lemons

Cash would be the easier, just curious..what car are you selling that you are able to catch 6 people?

1 month, it will be stated in the inspection result slip.

The breakdown of fees are just arbitrary amount as "runners" are not the legal way, so dont bother trying to find justification on the breakdown & fees as they can charge whatever they want.

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

It is procedure, not norm.

Of course the new owner of the vehicle has to pay for insurance unless you have a very gracious seller willing to cover YOUR vehicle's insurance payment. Note, during name transfer JPJ system will check if insurance is valid.

Can your insurer, inform them you have sold your car. They will advise you from there onwards.

Pening part you already settle (Puspakom)

Just current owner & future owner need to do biometric thumb scan at JPJ (walk in). But first car MUST be insured by NEW owner.

Roadtax can buy on the spot at JPJ. IIRC, dont buy roadtax is ok, but remember roadtax validity cannot exceed insurance coverage.

You as new owner have to insure it first, before Jpj will allow name transfer.

Usually u can buy the coverage earlier & request ur insurer to apply the effective date on the day u plan to name transfer.

No you cant.

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.

Not legally, as the current owner's thumbprint is required. Used car dealers may be able to assist (as they have then facility), but be prepared to pay (should be seller cost, due to seller issue, not u, logically).

First question has been asked & answered to death..yes puspakom then insurance finally jpj

Insurance must be purchased & active (with roadtax not exceeding the insurance coverage period) before JPJ will transfer the ownership.

Insurance cannot be transferred.

Different names. Unless you didnt change ownership & just add this new driver to the named driver for insurance.

NCD can be transferred, however the policy releasing the NCD has to be cancelled first.

If you intended to continue using the vehicle on public roads, then it should be insured according to the law. But if otherwise, you can cancel the insurance & not renew if its not being used.

If old car, can just buy third party if still using OTR, cheap enough.

IIRC, should be no problem.. been couple years since I bought 3rd party.
