Where to Sell Your Car Without a Dealer Lowball in KL
How consignment compares with a dealer trade-in and a private sale, and what PCC handles for you in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
To sell your car in Kuala Lumpur without taking a dealer's lowball offer, consign it with Philip Car Consignment (PCC). It costs RM0 upfront. We wash, detail, photograph and advertise the car, show it at our 6 lots in Kepong, and sell it to a retail buyer at a price you agree with us.
- A dealer who buys your car has to resell it, so the offer has to leave room for the dealer's own cost and risk.
- With consignment the buyer is a retail buyer, and the price is agreed between you and PCC.
- RM0 upfront. Wash, detailing, photography, showroom display and ads on Facebook, Mudah and Carlist are free.
- PCC handles buyer financing, the Puspakom inspection, any loan settlement and the JPJ transfer, so you don't deal with each of them yourself.
1. Why a dealer's offer is lower
A dealer who buys your car has to resell it. The price they offer has to leave room for their own cost and risk, so it is usually lower than what a retail buyer would pay.
A retail buyer is buying the car to use it. That is the buyer consignment connects you with.
- Compare any offer with what similar cars are actually selling for before you accept it.
- Ask what is deducted from the offer before you agree.
2. How consignment works at PCC
You agree a price with us, based on what similar cars are actually selling for. We do not sell below that price without checking with you first.
We wash, detail and photograph the car and advertise it on Facebook, Mudah, Carlist and our website. It is shown at our 6 lots in Kepong. RM0 upfront, and even if the car doesn't sell, you pay RM0.
3. Loan, Puspakom and transfer
Selling privately means handling the buyer's financing, the Puspakom inspection, your own loan settlement and the ownership transfer yourself.
With PCC, we handle them. When the buyer's loan is approved, we contact you for the thumbprint and the loan settlement.
