  Once you accept the offer, you will be given a maximum of 5 days to hand over your car and the necessary documents to us. If you agree to hand over your car on the day of the inspection, we can commence the ownership transfer and payment process right away if all the necessary documents are present.
• Put your car up for online bidding 
  We will schedule your car for bidding at the earliest available slot, where it will be bid by 2,300+ verified used car dealers. If your car receives bids, you have to reply with acceptance by 3pm on the next day of bidding date or reject the bid offer. If you accept, you will be given 5 days to prepare all the necessary documents and hand over the car to us.
  
  If your car does not receive any bids, you will be allowed to put up on the bidding platform 2 more times. Then, you can choose to accept the price offered by CARSOME (if applicable). Bear in mind that each subsequent starting bid price will be lower than the previous bid.

Step 4: Transfer of Ownership, Vehicle Handover, and Payment 
All paperwork for ownership transfer will be handled by us on the agreed date of the vehicle handover. The remaining loan settlement with the bank and final payment will be made directly to the owner’s bank account via online transfer.

The inspection appointment takes approximately 1 hour*. A CARSOME-certified auto inspector will conduct a thorough 175-point inspection of your car, which includes on-board diagnostics (OBD) scanning and a short road test. The road test helps us determine the realistic value of your car. Photos will also be taken for record and reporting purposes.

We will offer you a price to buy your car on the spot. If you agree to accept the offer and sell to us, we will complete all the necessary paperwork for you, and pay you via online transfer without delay. 

If you decide to try online bidding, we will schedule your car for a 2-hour online bidding among our verified used car dealer network. We will set the starting bid price by taking various factors into consideration such as the car's condition, age, and mileage before the bidding process starts.

*Subject to terms and conditions and receipt of all documents.

You will receive an email or SMS to view the live bidding session for your car. Here are the steps:

3. Log in to view the bid.

You have 2 options:

1. Accept our initial offer within 3 days of the inspection date.

2. If your car did not receive any bids from the first session, it will be automatically scheduled for the next available bidding session, usually on the same day or the following day. Should you go again for the bidding process, the subsequent starting bid price will be lower than the previous starting bid price. Should there be no bids after the second attempt and you still want to proceed with a sale, we recommend contacting your inspector-in-charge. Please note that our offered price may differ depending on the situation*.

*A new offer price may be provided upon a customer’s request should there be no bids after the first or second attempt. The new offer price will differ from the original offer price prior to bidding.

•  NRIC (or passport for non-Malaysians)
• Original vehicle Registration Card (RC) / Original Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC)
• Spare keys (if any)
• Outstanding hire purchase loan statement (if any)

If we do not receive your vehicle RC/VOC, we will withhold RM2,000 from the selling price as collateral. You must produce the RC/VOC within 14 days from the ownership transfer date or the RM2,000 will be forfeited.

1. Inform the e-hailing company that you are selling the car. The e-hailing company will inform the APAD (Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat), who will cancel the E-Hailing Vehicle Permit.

2. Go to Puspakom to run the B2 and B5 Inspection and complete the ownership transfer & 'Tukar Kelas'.

4. After steps 1-3 are complete, make an appointment at CARSOME.my or call our hotline at 1800-82-3388.

Note: you will be responsible for any fees/charges under steps 1-3.

If your road tax has expired for more than 1 year, you have to renew it, or we are not able to proceed with the inspection. Also, for reasons of the law, you should not drive on the road if your vehicle does not have a valid road tax.

If you attend the inspection process without the car grant, you must send a photocopy to the inspector-in-charge after the inspection to proceed with bidding/transaction.

CARSOME may offer your vehicle to the second-highest bidder if the highest bidder rejects the bid due to unforeseen circumstances. For cars with a final bid price of RM100,000 and higher, a transaction will only be considered successful upon receipt of a 30% deposit paid by the successful bidder. In the event that the bidder fails to fulfill payment requirements, CARSOME reserves the final rights to the purchase of the vehicle.

You are allowed to surrender your vehicle and car grant at any CARSOME location in Malaysia and do the ownership transfer* at a different CARSOME location. Make sure that your inspector is aware of the situation and transferring location. Do note that CARSOME will be withholding RM2,000 from the payment if the car and car grant are not surrendered prior to the ownership transfer.

*Ownership transfer must be performed by the car owner.

Once your hire purchase financing has been settled in full, contact your bank to request for E-Batal.

We help you with everything including applications and paperwork submission to ensure you get the best loan possible to finance your dream car.

Please see the loan eligibility requirements above. The financial providers will also take into account your creditworthiness by assessing your income level and documents submitted, among other requirements.

The maximum loan amount you can get on a car is usually 90% of its value. That means you will have to make a 10% down payment on the car. Used cars usually require a down payment of 20%, with the car loan amount being 80%. Feel free to speak to a CARSOME Consultant to come up with the best terms to suit your needs.

In a car loan agreement in Malaysia, the car serves as collateral. If the bank perceives the car to have a lower value than the loan, the chances for the loan to be approved might drop since the car’s value may not be enough to pay off the loan. This is important because if you are unable to pay your monthly installment and default on the loan, the bank will repossess the car.

The monthly payment for your car loan depends on the total car loan amount, car loan interest rate, and car loan tenure.

Yes. You can contact the bank/loan provider to enquire about the loan balance on your car. You can also use your loan provider’s online banking platform to check it. The car loan statement with details about the loan is usually available to download.

CARSOME partners with various loan financiers that have varying car loan interest rates. To help you get a good deal, CARSOME can assist you in choosing the financier or bank that suits your needs.
