Used car dealers setting up car portal, led by CarTimes

The 5 million keep and give out discounts to customer more better.

Actually the listing fee is the least of my concern when it comes to selling my cars.

 

It's the whole second hand car industry's business ethics and culture that needs a major shake up that simply starting a car portal themselves are not going to cut it.

 

Every business needs to make money. But making money with every known (or unknown) unscrupulous methods to maximize profit at customer's expense is what makes this industry a necessary evil. 

 

The day you decide to sell your current car to change to another car is fraught with trepidation on the prospect of having to deal with the 2nd hand dealers.

 

I, for one, will rather sell or buy from direct buyers/sellers than these dealers if possible.

 

The MOF/IRAS should breath down harder on this group of business.

Since kallang auto time till now seems their imagine hardly improved... I also kana from used car dealer when bought a 2nd hand car... Say till so good so good... In the end bought a piece of crab... Now only considering brand new.. Dont think new portal can be much help unless they lower their selling price and dont mark up the car condition..

Good luck to this bunch of people. They are 10 years too late.

 

If you can believe car-dealers, then pigs can really fly.
