cmcex 4th Gear May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 Ahemmm....are u implying that SEs take a cut of the oredi lowball price when they refer to used car dealer?...*shock*horror* They refer to us, we offer a price and they cut the amount they want and offer to consumer, get it? Likewise for all bidding website when seller put up their vehicle for bids, we pay extra comm to the website ie Quotz, either we pay 1.5% or $500 which ever higher, and if for car near scrap, we offer $10000 they will offer $9700 and yes we still pay the $300 to Quotz ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcex 4th Gear May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 my recent experience with trade in price is can nego and sometimes it get escalated to Head of Sales, even GM/MD level cos is back to back to the purchase price and bundling of the new car buying but its still loss, just don lose so much and how much is so much is the key tat buyer hv to decide, before even signing on the dotted line both ways... The escalation is talking nonsense. In the end, its all decided between the "order taker" and the dealer he work with. Tan Chong, Motor Image: used car trade in controlled by Hua Yang Borneo Motors: used car trade in controlled by Inchcape C&C: used car trade in controlled by Republic Auto PML: used car trade in controlled by PPSL this is just to name a few that i know of, PPSL and Republic is just a JV entity away from the main brand to control the used car trade in market. For some, they even develop an app and as dealers we have to pay "member fee" and "entrance fee" to be able to bid the cars. Bcos agent doesnt wanna handle used cars, so JV with a dealer and do it, catch is the dealer has to hold the stocks with $ first meaninf $ to be paid for all trade ins whether to offset the new purchase, and then sell out to smaller dealers like us using bidding system app. Agent will be easier selling their cars cos someone is taking care of the trade in. Some that i know, like Hyundai, the "order takers" sell to whichever dealer they fell comfortable working with or give them better mark down margin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Borneo's 6-8k figure is what they can account officially in their books. Actual is much higher No wonder some SEs black face when i say i got no trade in car....

Eyke Supercharged May 17, 2019 Share May 17, 2019 SE get comm for trade in car, otherwise there's no incentive for them to try to get the trade in. so u'll always get better price on ur own compared to trade in, although it may not be obvious since dealer can adjust the new car price to offer u higher trade in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base on my understanding, if you retain you old carplate number, the swap must happen before the Vios is scrap. You can't retain your old carplate number once the car is scarp. This is why you receive the letter from LTA on the swap. What happen to your old Vios after that depends on the new owner and I don't think you can do anything about it. And I don't understand the fuss of the Vios still on the road if it is road worthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
