Car colour as a search option in SGcarmart

[Mkl22]

wondering why not to have the car colour as one of the search options in sgcarmart.

makes it easier if one is looking for particular colours. the log card already has the car colour input.

Maybe because wrapping so common? Imagine you search for white colour, but turn out results shows purple/ red etc 😂

Yes please.

LTA log how? Just use the same colors as LTA has in their system will be enough

[shrjun]

No point.Majority of cars in Singapore are the non colors - black / white / grey / silver /  nondescript browns.Throw a stone and you will hit one of these cars.

Could be useful to have a color option to search by.

And also, not forgetting a search for Registration Date by a specific month/year combination - not just year (too wide!)

I buy used car, dare not to ask for so much, as long as I can afford I am happy already, I buy base on the color I can afford,  still  want to ask for color. 😅😅😅

I last checked that there were 170 units of 2019 avante for sale. Would help if I could thin them down some. 
anyway sgcarmart could also gather the search criteria on colors and make some analysis.

heck why am I teaching sgcarmart how to improve. 🤣

I can unreservedly say australian Carsales website beats sgcarmart hands down.

If someone can specify a colour when he is ordering a new car at AD, he should also be able to filter by car colour when they are buying a used car. What's so difficult? Red is red, and it works the majority of the time if you make the ad poster choose one of the primary colours.

Not just colour...it is impossible to filter cars without COE extension as well.

Was looking for a short term used car...so I did a filter by date of reg..did not help.

[Lol88]

@Davidklt did you select PARF cars option under the advanced search option?

[DylanChen]

bo liao.

You need a search option by "dereg value".

This is interesting. Do people choose their car by color? Because after all you buy knowing that you can respray or wrap it to your choice of color anyway. For myself personally, the search filter that matters 1 Price range 2 Depreciation 3 Vehicle Type (prefer hatch). After that, I'll browse through the search results and shortlist those that fit my budget. Other than obviously the price, first impressions - I pay special attention to the exterior condition of the car and the cleanliness of the interior. If the car is full of dings and dents, I take it that it's reflective of how the owner treats his car. If the interior is dirty and messy, high chance I won't even bother viewing as he or she probably has a habit of eating in the car. That's something I cannot accept even though I can and will send the car to fumigation after purchasing.

So, is car color important to you when looking for a car on our used car pages? Super curious. Probably maybe... if it's a high-end model but if it's your bread and butter Altis, Civic, Swift, etc?

As I mentioned before if one has 170units of 2019 Hyundai avante to choose from. Won’t having a colour choice help to manage the list better? 
honestly why would someone respray a 2year old car unless really really need to. Won’t one try to find a color that you like before that. 
don’t Understand why you guys are so resistant to it.
