Better way to sell used cars


A FEW months ago, I tried to buy a secondhand car but gave up midway due to the following reasons.

Firstly, the prices quoted were way above actual market value, sometimes up to 40% more. Secondly, there were hidden charges which didn’t make sense. Car dealers typically charge between RM1,500 and RM3,000 in “transfer fee”. This fee is apparently to cover the costs for Puspakom inspection, Road Transport Department transfer fee and time (excludes insurance).
