, while authorities like JPJ, PDRM and even state city councils usually list their auctioned vehicles themselves, which means that you will have to check their Facebook page or websites.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter you\u2019ve found the listing of a vehicle that you\u2019re interested in, you can now make preparations to inspect the vehicle. For third party auction organisers, usually they have a storehouse where you can just drop by at any time to inspect and carefully study the vehicle you\u2019re most interested in. But keep in mind that the same method does not apply to auctioned cars from the authorities. Instead of inspecting the vehicle whenever you want, authorities usually host an open day for everyone to come and inspect the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\nBring along your mechanic while doing the inspection so you know the car\u2019s condition inside out. Also, don\u2019t forget to make sure that the serial number of the vehicle matches the one in the grant.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>During auction day<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\nAfter inspecting the vehicle and ensuring that it\u2019s in good condition, you can now bid on the vehicle. Unfortunately, you can\u2019t place your bids right then and there. Usually, how it works is that the auction organiser will set a date for the auction to commence. On that date, you will need to come to the auction site and compete with other bidders to obtain the vehicle you want.<\/span><\/li>\nAlways check the rules and regulations of each auction you participate in, as the conditions might be different. Some auction houses charge higher deposits than others, while some only allow cash payments. You don\u2019t want all your hard work to amount to nothing, so keep track of this.<\/li>\n You need to pay the deposit during registration for bidding, and you will be given a numbered card that you can raise to indicate your bid. If you\u2019re unsuccessful in your bid don\u2019t worry, as your deposit will be refunded fully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>After winning the auction<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\nNow that you\u2019ve successfully bid and won the vehicle you wanted, there\u2019s still some things left to do. The first one is to receive a contract that confirms the price of the vehicle you won, and the amount you need to pay in the period set. <\/span><\/li>\nYou also need to ensure that the vehicle passes a PUSPAKOM inspection to make sure that the car is roadworthy. The inspection can be done on the auction site at a set price.<\/span><\/li>\nIt is important for you to ensure that the inspection is done on site, as if the vehicle you won is not road worthy, you can demand your deposit back. However, some auction houses will not refund your deposit if the inspection is done off site.<\/li>\n After your vehicle has been deemed roadworthy, you will need to make the rest of the payment towards the bank where the vehicle was originally financed. Once you\u2019ve settled all the payments, the original financier of the vehicle will give you all the documents needed for you to complete the ownership transfer process.<\/li>\n Now all you have to do is go to any JPJ office, and complete the ownership transfer process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>Auctioned vehicles should only be bought after careful consideration<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nAlthough the prospect of buying an auctioned vehicle might be rife with the potential of a huge bargain, the most important part about buying an auctioned vehicle is due diligence.<\/span><\/p>\nThe risks associated with buying an auctioned vehicle are plentiful, so before you commit to a purchase make sure you know the car inside out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Did you know that for one reason or another, cars might get auctioned off for cheap?
