I've read a few threads but nobody seems to have made any comparison - Has anyone actually used Carsome, MyTukar or Carlistbid to sell their car?
I have to sell mine quickly soon when I leave Malaysia - of course not expecting retail price - but has anyone used any of these? Or others? Was anyone surprised as to how high - or low - their selling price was?
If you've used them - maybe you'd share hints and tips - and your success or failures?

I sold my previous ride, a 2011 lagi best myvi 1.3 Auto to carsome for 18.8k, which in my opinion is fairly reasonable considering the ease of transaction. A tip is you can take your car to their competitor and get it valued, and tell the next competitor how much your car was valued and see if they can mark it up. For my case, after the inspector at carsome offered me 16k, I asked him why so low since MUV (their main competitor) able to offer me 19k. After some negotiation, he offered me 18.8k. Matter of fact is I did not even get my car valued at MUV

Tried testing the waters with Carsome last year and they gave me low-ball shitty price so then I just forget about them. Not sure about the others. Anyway I have sold one car just thru Mudah, not using any of those services.

In normal circumstances you're right - this is the thing to do - but as I'm leaving Malaysia - I need a car as late as possible - and then to sell it hassle free and quickly - so I do expect to sell it for less than retail price - but trying to work out which of these 'Sell you car to us in 24 hours or less' outfits are the best. Was it much of a difference percentage wise between what they offered you and what others were being sold for in the dealers? 30 percent less? or more?

Lol It was so low balling that it's like a joke! I immediately laughed at them on the phone then just said ok bye and shut the phone. Lol.

Getting Started

I tried MyTukar, they placed my car in to the online auction after the inspection, the outcome is not so satisfied but much more than used car dealer.
The good thing is you can just test water, not necessary to accept the offer if below your desire.
All these car bid centers are belongs to used car dealers also, if you opt for sellout without entering bid system, they will offer you a price, most of time will low ball you, like how Carsome offer me 30% below market price.
You can test it once, and check out what is the time frame after the inspection, normally 2 weeks after inspection must place to the auction, so you can plan your journey.

Cars are depreciating asset so got to have bigger leeway in case get stuck in inventory for more than 2years. I wonder can join bidding at Carsome or not. Buy for personal use

I would suggest sell the car earlier at market price and use the extra gain over quick sell for e-hailing or go-car. + piece of mind.
