i am going to sell my car, and my car has leather tear off from steering (a few holes), seat (a little), to gear knob. and steering has some issue as well, there is fraction feel and noise when turning the steering wheel, it is not fixable by replacing the steering coupler. need to change entire steering shaft. was thinking to find buyer myself. but i dont think anyone will take my car, after testing drive my car. any alternative to get higher value? carsome? mytukar?

Spray some wd40 and let next owner figure out

first go see mudah, carlist, fb marketplace to see how much your car is worth.
then check with mechanic and see if the amount to repair is worth your time. sometimes after repair can get your money worth.
or just fix any mechanical issues, cosmectics just leave it.

mytukar/carro and carsome cant really tipu, they're used car salesman as well, will check every nook and cranny before giving you a quote.

or you can sell as is under market value while letting the buyers know the existing issues.
the unethical route would be selling it as is and hoping the buyer don't know cars.

go carsome, mytukar. let them handle the headache of fussy buyer. your car got value of course, check market price. its somehow 10-20% cheaper than that if go carsome/mytukar.

market price should be around the same as what is estimated by my insurance company right?

nope, insurance estimate vehicle pricing following a depreciation rate calculation. second hand cars resale value follows demand and supply and popularity.
such as certain brand like H and T holds higher resales value

not only 10-20% cheaper, is much 40% + cheaper

Civic FE?

This is probably the worst time to sell since Honda throwing discount for new units and also with the facelift on the horizon

If really desperate to sell have to accept the loss and move on

if got accident confirm 40%

elantra

never

Oh kimchi brand.... honestly to minimise loss you have to sell yourself. Go through dealer confirm they lowball
