I suggest you to arrange inspection at Carsome & MyTukar on the same day - one morning, one afternoon. There is no rejection fee. Both Carsome & MyTukar charges RM500 handling fee once you agree & handover the car to them.

You need to be ready to handover your car as both of their process is quite quick:
Day 1 - Inspection
Day 2 - Live Bidding
If accept, the next following day need to handover to agent. Get paid within 1 day iinm.

MyTukar can buy directly from you - and if agree, immediately handover to them and get paid within a few hours.
*
The handling fee is only if you put it up for bidding. If you sell to them directly there are no handling fee.

i've used Carsome 3 times so far.

1st time - bidding
2nd time - outright sales
3rd time - outright selling to them.

if you car have outstanding you will just need to arrange 1 day go together with their rep to settle off your debt. What i love about Carsome they don't low ball you like how the typical 2nd hand dealer in the sales office would usually do.

I have not done mytukar and MUV before tough.

The last time I tried to sell my car to a used car dealer and complained about his low offer, he actually advised me to try carsome laugh.gif

Actually if u have the time just sell on your own at fb marketplace.

Carsome wanted around 25k for the old 2012 vw passat b7 we had..

Used car dealer wanted 21k. Sold to a buyer on fb marketplace for 34k..

And the moment i list the car on fb marketplace everyday kept getting around 3-4 enquiries every day, the buyer that bought it over is the second one after he test drove it. Even now after selling the car still getting people enquiring about the car.. had to reply that the car is sold..

If it's so easy for everyone to sell to direct buyer summore at a higher price then everyone would do it.

Notwithstanding the part where one would need to handle some of the paperwork themselves that runners cannot do, there is also the matter of personally meeting potential buyers and letting them test drive, which is a whole other can of worms that not everybody wants to risk, furthermore in the midst of a pandemic.

If you opt for bidding, are you forced to sell it at the last bid amount? Let's say car is worth RM20K, but during bidding the highest bid is RM15K only. Can you reject to sell?
*
Yes can reject.

Additionally, last time I checked, if the highest bid is lower than what they initially offered you, you can still take their initial offer. Eg, carsome offered you 20K, but you want to put it up for bidding. The highest bid only 15k, you can reject that and take carsome's initial offer of 20k.

Not sure if that's still true now, you can ask them.

How the auction works ?
Bidder view online or they come to carsome/mytukar place ?
If view online, how bidder inspect the car ?
*
View online. They will take pictures of your cars and the bidders can view them.

I've only put my car for bidding on mytukar. They sent me a link to a page to view the live bidding and what time it will end. On that page I can see the bid value in real time.

So bidder can't inspect the car, only view
This is good if the car got internal issue where seller can hide it
What seller need to do at least paint the car nicely to make it look nice in the picture
*
Bidders are also used car dealers, they also don't care if got hidden defect, janji their customers also x nampak lol

They will send someone to inspect the car for valuing.
These are experienced people who knows parts costs and repair efforts.
they look at interiors, colors, leathers, etc.

The car was still in my house when it was put up for bidding, how the dealers wanna inspect laugh.gif

Then it's not online view only
Someone will come n inspect the car
I thought online view only
*
Only carsome/mytukar staff will inspect your car during initial valuation.

The dealers who bid on the car DO NOT physically view your car, only view online.

During bidding, the car will still be in your possession, not parked at carsome/mytukar.

If you sold through bidding, will be charged a few hundred bucks fee.

If sold directly to carsome/mytukar, no fee.
