How Car Consignment Works in Malaysia
Sell to a retail buyer instead of taking a dealer's trade-in offer. RM0 upfront, you agree the price, and PCC handles the loan settlement and ownership transfer.
Car consignment at Philip Car Consignment (PCC) means we sell your car to a retail buyer on your behalf. It costs RM0 upfront: the wash, detailing, photography, showroom display and advertising on Facebook, Mudah and Carlist are free. You agree the price with us, and we handle the buyer, any bank loan settlement and the JPJ ownership transfer. PCC has 6 lots in Kepong.
- You sell to a retail buyer, not to a dealer who has to resell the car. The price is agreed with you, based on what similar cars actually sell for.
- RM0 upfront. Wash, detailing, photography, showroom display and ads on Facebook, Mudah and Carlist are free. Even if the car doesn't sell, you pay RM0.
- We do not sell below the price you agreed without checking with you first.
- If you still have a bank loan, we coordinate the settlement and the thumbprint when the buyer's loan is approved.
1. Why consign instead of trading in
A dealer who buys your car has to resell it, so the offer has to leave room for their own cost and risk. With consignment the buyer is a retail buyer, and the price is agreed between you and us.
PCC washes, details, photographs and advertises the car, and shows it at our lots, while the car stays yours until it is sold.
- Bring your original registration card (grant), a copy of your MyKad, the car keys and any service records or receipts. Service history helps us price your car higher.
2. The 3 steps
Step 1: Get a free valuation. We value the car against recent sales of similar cars and agree a price with you.
Step 2: We inspect, wash and list it. We take the photos, wash and detail the car, and list it on Facebook, Mudah, Carlist and our website.
Step 3: We sell it, you get paid. We handle viewings, test drives, buyer financing, the Puspakom inspection, any loan settlement and the JPJ transfer. You are paid on handover, once the buyer's payment or financing has cleared and the ownership transfer is done.
3. If you still have a bank loan
You can still consign. When the buyer's loan is approved, we contact you for the thumbprint and the loan settlement.
If there is a balance after your bank is paid, we pay it to you on the spot once the eBatal completes.
