Great info as usual Chris. I had my fair shares on used car dealers. 99% of them are just deceitful. Why? Well, these are the norms now :- - Fake year made advertised (some can differ by 2 years or more!) - Fake mileage (this applies almost to every used car dealer) - Super high processing fees (football fees), as what you mentioned can go as high as RM 4k etc. (I kena RM 5 - 6k before) - No service records - Badly damaged car sold as "accident free"! - and the list goes on and on. Since many moons ago, I've shy away from buying from a used car dealer. They are really like those petaling street sellers and their mindset is just to get rid of the car by whatever means and to maximize profit from the buyer! I can understand on maximizing profit from a business point of view but it's getting ridiculous if you advertise the car at RM20k and after all those 'fees', the end price would be RM 25k (without roadtax and insurance!). As what you've rightly said, best is to buy from a private owner but it's pretty tedious if it involves loans by both side. Either way, both seller and buyer need to exercise patience in this manner. BTW, do you know that some used car dealers provide these 'runner' fees to settle your problem on seller's outstanding loan together with applying for buyer's loan? Not many does it and they only do it for certain customers that is familiar to them. Anyway, they do charge a fees for this process too. It'll perhaps cost RM2-3k for this, however this figures are from 2-3 years ago. Anyway, stay away from used car dealers if you can. Buy if you want an unreg recond car but also practice with caution!
Hi SK, thanks very much for that excellent feedback!! Yeah, it's really ridiculous how much some UCD charge for merely processing a used car, madness!! I once negotiated this fee from 2.5k to 1k, that just goes to show how ridiculous it is because it's intangible, it's just a figure they pluck out of thin air. Buyers must be wary of this, always! Thanks again for sharing bro 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
Buy a brand new car you’re buying a commodity with no soul. Buy a used car particularly a banger you’re buying something that has a back story attached. Thanks for the vid Chris, a joy to watch as always 😀
Hi Chris, Thanks for sharing your experiences dealing with private sellers and used car dealers. I found these information very useful (do's and don'ts) especially some of those underhand tactics. Please continue your good work as I have certainly learned a lot from you.
This is a much needed guide and thank you for making it!!! I'm sure plenty of us ordinary folks prefer to get a used car instead of new and this video is a good place to start researching! Great content!! Thanks!!👍🏼
Great video, very informative! I was lucky that the ex-owner of my current car did everything for me, and I just had to settle the payment and drive it home. p.s. Love your car collection! Met you at the petrol station last Saturday but didn't get to talk to you, nice KE30!
Great video as always! I have been quite lucky as I have dealt with some very decent used car dealers in the past. One even allowed me to take the car for a test drive alone which was a Merc which I eventually bought.
good words. Agreed, used car dealers tend to know little about the cars being sold and inaccurate mileage is just a put off. Also dont understand why used car dealers dont collect service records and keep original owners manual/ booklets. They see no importance in these.
Best is to just grab a trustable mechanic friend to get the car checked.... UC dealers are just like banks they're not buddy buddy kawan kawan.... Buying a used car requires loads of patience and research.... Best is buying from direct owners.... A lil bit hassle... But at least you get the true story of the car and make true friends along the way.... Priceless like u say.....if can afford new that's the best... But if can't then you'll need hell loads of patience to pick the best apple from the basket.... Good video mate!!
Thanks DC!! Yep, what u said is accurate, there's a lot of shady deals out there, one has to be very wary of this, hope this video helped with that. Tq for the feedback!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏽😊
Wish I knew about this 2 years ago, I got scammed by private seller for selling a "good condition" Honda that have been heavily modified, its also my fault to put the cash on him after getting the car without getting inspected for name changing. After that he ask to use runner for name changing since the car engine has been changed and not declared on the card which add more problem into it. Until now the car haven't changed the name on card and I didn't even try to contact him, apparently I heard somewhere that he sold a Ford pickup that been used by drug dealers still under his name (must be his fault) and he got asked go to the court. Now the car is running fine just kept hidden for certain reason, What should I do with the car? Sell for parts? Use runner? Buy a new clean titled car? Hide the car in barn?
Ouch. That's a sticky situation bud, very messy. Hence why it's always better to get the car inspected first before paying in full, also unless the engine has been endorsed, stay away from cars like that. Do u have the surat enjin? If so, u can make an appeal/aduan at JPJ, to get it endorsed and reinspected. I've never been in a situation like that though, and this is my best advice on the matter, it might not be that easy, but I hope it is for you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage thanks for the reply sir, its a relief for me maybe I can try to report at jpj but I always thought if they take the car (sita kereta) for having unendorsed engine Edit: no surat engine for the car, maybe have a new engine swap can solve the problem?
I am preparing myself to buy an AR from a used car dealer (Instant Portfolio), car of about RM31,500. Was told the processing fee is RM3500, and for pre-sales inspection, would need to pay for RM1,000 booking fee. Would want to check is this a norm? Thanks!
Thanks Chris.. I was quoted RM4900 for running fee on a RM140,000 used car.. I guess I would treat it as RM144,900 asking price and nego from there.. but I walked out anyway..
Most welcome bro, hope u found that useful!! A rm4.9k football fee is bloody ridiculous!! This is what I mean about so called "processing fees", which are uncontrolled. Buyers end up paying thousands more for something that costs mere hundreds, total f(beeeeep)king b(beeeep)it I tell you!! Good for u for walking away, it's utter nonsense 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏽😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage It was a 3rd Gen IS250 that I saw .. and I said it I will get you to review it if I ever got one.. lol.. Anyway, saw you when we are heading up Gohtong, didn't manage to say hello to you, your yellow KE(?) was easily spotted... 😁
Wrong channel. Hahaha!! Just kidding. Buying brand new is the easiest, the official dealership will settle everything for ya, all part of their service I think, all included 😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage ha sorry. Anyway, recently i bought a car from a consignment deal instead. Felt that from brand new cars, it can be quite "dodgy" when they are throwing too many freebies. Kind of speaks of the percentage on the profit margin that they have.
@@eugenechong2179 Ooh yes, I remember I almost bought an Altima brand new long ago cos it was no money down, the down payment was the discount, paid by the company! In retrospect, it was a good deal actually, hahaha!!😊😊😊
Yeah. Have met dealers that wanna charge around 2k football fees for a 1.6L 15yr car. But the worst type is those that demand a deposit just for a test drive. One that did that even told me up front 'you pay me a deposit then we can test drive. I can tell u the car only has a steering rack issue. Other than that its just normal issues'. 🙄
OH YES I would!! Tbh, I still wanna get another one someday, this time I want one with an endorsed 4AGE transplant done already, hahaha!!😆😆😆 Sadly the KE70 is very prone to rust issues, so be wary of that when choosing one, the original engine though is absolutely bulletproof 🙏🏽😊
Tq fr the info and on the full payment which can be to private or dealer, we normally be asked to settle the payment before proceeding with name change....there would b a fear of cheat...how to overcome.... On a side note...ur thumbnail shows a KE70....R u up fr it???
Hi Sam! The small pic shows my two ex-KE70s, a sedan and liftback, yes always up for another one, they're great cars!!😉 Ideally both the name change, the full settlement and acquisition should be done at the same time. The buyer shouldn't have to pay in full if the car isn't with them yet, nor should the seller release the car without being fully paid for it. In my Sentra B13 purchase recently, I paid the remaining half to the seller right after name transfer, and drove the car back from home from the JPJ parking lot 😊
Had a dealer who had the gall to ask for 6k for the transfer, insurance and stuff (so-called processing fees). Promptly said thank you and walked off. Bah. That was in October 2019, and the car is still on carlist. Hahaha P.S. Also no test driving without a deposit too!
if u have choice then buy a car from a private seller. today process is so simple. prebooked puspakom doesnt even 1 day. buy an online insurance. transfer name can be done on different time if each seller and buyer cannot meet together. rather than paying some 3k runner fees from those conman dealers...
Hi chris, I had bad experience buying from ucd so I always prefer buying direct from owner. Was looking at a car priced at rm7k, when I asked for a testdrive salesman asked for deposit. Asked a few more question then he mentioned the processing fee is rm3k. Crazy! On another thing, this happened to my relative's friend selling his alfa if not mistaken. A guy came to look at his car. That guy looked trustworthy, he handed his car key to him, then took the alfa for a testdrive and disappeared. It turns out that the car he left with our friend is a stolen car. So be very careful.
OMG!! That really sucks man, sheesh. Thanks for sharing that with us bud, sorry to hear about your friend too. Yeah, as I said, it happens man!! I no bluff wan, haha!!🙏🏽👍🏾😁
Hi guys... Just wanted to ask... Lacking knowledge on buying used car... Can i know how much will it cost to transfer ownership of the vehicle.. planning to buy a 2nd hand car from an individual and not from a dealership... And who should be incharge of the name transfer... The seller or the buyer?? Any wan can guide me on this??
Both. And as mentioned in the video, it costs rm100 for the transfer fee. Have look at one of the comments below for the second part of ur question about the process 😊
Few years back I bought a used car from N9. Used car dealer charged me RM1000 for the processing and runner fee. Used car dealer was honest and told me in KL it cost a lot more. As happen about same time, my friend was trying to buy car from his customer and looking for runner to do it in KL. He got quoted 3.5k for the runner fee. He then settled with rm2.2k due to unfamiliar process and time as you mentioned. To me it was just same process but amazing they charge much higher in KL. So I would widen my option to explore other state dealer if I am to purchase a used car. The travel is another cuti cuti Malaysia.
Jeez man, that's just nuts!! But u know what, ppl are willing to pay that cos of the time they save, as they say "just close eye and do", hahaha!! 😊 3.5k runner fee, mad ah? I can buy a whole decent car for that kind of money 😆🙏🏽👍🏾😉
My 1st experience, paid deposit for a test drive😔. Then when I want to cancel the deal, a lot of 'janji manis' given by the dealer. 2nd experience, the dealer also asked deposit, but at that time I'm already smart😜 I told him, "u asked me deposit for a test drive??? Bye bye bro, bye bye" after a while, his manager called me for a test drive for free.
Good for you!! Well done bud, good to hear this. Yes, we all live and learn, I too have been nearly duped in the past, but we learn from our mistakes and experiences too 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
I heard some dealers wont give test drive because they say this car do not have valid insuran no roadtax bla2 so cannot take risk to give test drive.. is this normal?
Nope. Not normal at all, there are always ways to do so, most dealers have trade-plates, or the test drive can always be just around that area, away from main highways 😊🙏🏽👍🏾
I just want to ask if I want to buy a car that is under 5k from Mudah but they say that the car needs to be loaned but I want to pay with cash. What should I do? I want to find a 190e and I want to buy it but the description says it needs to be loaned. Just asking.
Hi Den!! Loan for a 5k car? That doesn't make any sense, cos it's too cheap for a loan, unless that 5k stated in the ad is actually just the downpayment and not the full price. Also a 5k car is definitely more than 10yrs old and not eligible for any bank loan, only a "loan kedai", which is a private contract between u and the shop selling the car, no official financial institutions involved. I don't think any UCD would refuse a full cash payment though, so be careful of the ones asking u to take a private loan with them, sound a very fishy to me 🙏🏽 😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage I know that is why I was skeptical but thanks for the advice bro, I think I should stick with private sellers because it is more honest and I always tend to not trust the pictures too much.
Hey Chris, great video and love how you restore all these old cars and give them a second life. Just wondering how do you find some of your cars that are relatively rare? because I don’t see them on mudah or carlist. Can you get the dealers to find them for you? Thanks a keep up the good work :)
Hey thanks for the kind words and for watching my silly vids bud, much appreciated 🙏🏽😀 Well, apart from Mudah, I've found a few of my Weevils on FB marketplace, as well as via word of mouth among friends 😊 One of my fave time-wasting-pasttimes is to trawl FB marketplace, ill advised though, it's a very dangerous place 😆😆😆
Chris Wee ohh thanks for the tip. Didn’t think of FB marketplace. Yup, you are right it is a dangerous place. Lol. Immediately found what I was looking for! Thanks again :D
Thanks bud!! Hope u found it useful. Buying recon cars would be the same as local cars, just make sure all the documentation is in order if buying from a private seller (this is where Puspakom is vital) cos usually a used car dealer would have all this prepared in advance, but to be on the safe side, ask to see the Puspakom cert once the car has passed inspection 😊
Just wondering Chris, since I'm not even in a position yet to buy any car 😂, but let's say I'm willingly mentioned to process the Puspakom, changing name etc² like you said to the dealer, what's the procedure then? I noticed each time in your vids your cars change names at UTC, you will go together with the new owner. Does the dealer need a representative to be with you during that change?
Currently UTC is still not operating, but when it opens, yes, u can do your name transfer at the JPJ office in there. Ideally both buyer & seller should be there, however if the seller is out of state, he/she can do their thumbprint at any JPJ wherever they are, and u can do yours here subsequently. Everything is online now. Both of u need a photo of each other's MyKad for form-filling purposes, the transfer fee is rm100, bourne by the buyer who will get a new VOC in their name on the spot. The dealer does not need to be present unless the car being bought has been transferred to their company name, and he will need to be there to furnish all the necessary documents 😊
but charging 4k-8k for additional processing fees is absurd, that happen to me many times when I walk into some of the more common second hand car dealers area like Sg Besi, Cheras, Old Klang Road. Agree with you bullshit!! I straight away walk off. And I heard you cannot apply car loan on your own in owner-to-owner car selling.
Thanks for the info, that's new to me about the car loan thing!! Yeah, it's blatantly absurd how much they try to charge, when I can get it all done myself for a tenth of the "football fee" price, it's ridiculous really. Thanks for watching and the feedback bud!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage yes, I was shocked to hear about the loan thingy and I called up the banks to verify the here say. It seems it is partially correct, some banks wouldn't entertain while some will entertain depending on who you know and how much money you have in the bank account. It is good if you can look up on this matter as well.
Hi folks. Buying from direct car owner and applying bank loan , you need a least 30 percent Downpayment according to CIMB hire purchase VP whom I encountered. For car dealers , the bank had strong connection with them,thus need lesser dp for the car.
@@grandehowe yes!! public bank doesn't even entertain if you deal direct with owner and set up a car loan for yourself. It seems that these banks wants 2nd hand car buyers to buy and set up loans via 2nd hand car dealers.
OMG i keep laughing when the *beeps* comes up... 🤣🤣 i would say the same things for all these BS... yeah that's kind of my main reasons i dont like to go for used car dealers too... n i nvr know the runner fees over there is this expensive it costs me RM300 from a runner i have known for years (for company lorry inspection) for the passenger car Puspakom inspection + JPJ ownership transfer + VOC over here in JB...
That a still reasonable cos runners need to earn a living too, it's when the UCD hikes up the runner fee for their own pocket that makes the HUGE difference sometimes, all in the name of "processing fee". What s bunch of BS (oops, need another blip)😆😆😆🙏🏽😊 Thanks for watching and the comment!!😊👍🏾
Great info as usual Chris.
I had my fair shares on used car dealers. 99% of them are just deceitful. Why? Well, these are the norms now :-
- Fake year made advertised (some can differ by 2 years or more!)
- Fake mileage (this applies almost to every used car dealer)
- Super high processing fees (football fees), as what you mentioned can go as high as RM 4k etc. (I kena RM 5 - 6k before)
- No service records
- Badly damaged car sold as "accident free"!
- and the list goes on and on.
Since many moons ago, I've shy away from buying from a used car dealer. They are really like those petaling street sellers and their mindset is just to get rid of the car by whatever means and to maximize profit from the buyer! I can understand on maximizing profit from a business point of view but it's getting ridiculous if you advertise the car at RM20k and after all those 'fees', the end price would be RM 25k (without roadtax and insurance!).
As what you've rightly said, best is to buy from a private owner but it's pretty tedious if it involves loans by both side. Either way, both seller and buyer need to exercise patience in this manner. BTW, do you know that some used car dealers provide these 'runner' fees to settle your problem on seller's outstanding loan together with applying for buyer's loan? Not many does it and they only do it for certain customers that is familiar to them. Anyway, they do charge a fees for this process too. It'll perhaps cost RM2-3k for this, however this figures are from 2-3 years ago.
Anyway, stay away from used car dealers if you can. Buy if you want an unreg recond car but also practice with caution!

OMG!! That really sucks man, sheesh. Thanks for sharing that with us bud, sorry to hear about your friend too. Yeah, as I said, it happens man!! I no bluff wan, haha!!🙏🏽👍🏾😁
Hi guys... Just wanted to ask... Lacking knowledge on buying used car... Can i know how much will it cost to transfer ownership of the vehicle.. planning to buy a 2nd hand car from an individual and not from a dealership... And who should be incharge of the name transfer... The seller or the buyer?? Any wan can guide me on this??
Both. And as mentioned in the video, it costs rm100 for the transfer fee. Have look at one of the comments below for the second part of ur question about the process 😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage thanks chris... Love your videos and passion for the cars...
@@vince_1018 most welcome bud, thank you for watching my silly vids and for the comment too!!🙏🏽👍🏾😀
Few years back I bought a used car from N9. Used car dealer charged me RM1000 for the processing and runner fee. Used car dealer was honest and told me in KL it cost a lot more. As happen about same time, my friend was trying to buy car from his customer and looking for runner to do it in KL. He got quoted 3.5k for the runner fee. He then settled with rm2.2k due to unfamiliar process and time as you mentioned. To me it was just same process but amazing they charge much higher in KL. So I would widen my option to explore other state dealer if I am to purchase a used car. The travel is another cuti cuti Malaysia.
Jeez man, that's just nuts!! But u know what, ppl are willing to pay that cos of the time they save, as they say "just close eye and do", hahaha!! 😊
3.5k runner fee, mad ah? I can buy a whole decent car for that kind of money 😆🙏🏽👍🏾😉
Ya, 3.5k can get b13 sentra, sm4.
@@HotRod16 exactly, and many others too 😁🙏🏽👍🏾
My 1st experience, paid deposit for a test drive😔. Then when I want to cancel the deal, a lot of 'janji manis' given by the dealer. 2nd experience, the dealer also asked deposit, but at that time I'm already smart😜 I told him, "u asked me deposit for a test drive??? Bye bye bro, bye bye" after a while, his manager called me for a test drive for free.
Good for you!! Well done bud, good to hear this. Yes, we all live and learn, I too have been nearly duped in the past, but we learn from our mistakes and experiences too 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
I heard some dealers wont give test drive because they say this car do not have valid insuran no roadtax bla2 so cannot take risk to give test drive.. is this normal?
Nope. Not normal at all, there are always ways to do so, most dealers have trade-plates, or the test drive can always be just around that area, away from main highways 😊🙏🏽👍🏾
I just want to ask if I want to buy a car that is under 5k from Mudah but they say that the car needs to be loaned but I want to pay with cash. What should I do? I want to find a 190e and I want to buy it but the description says it needs to be loaned. Just asking.
Hi Den!! Loan for a 5k car? That doesn't make any sense, cos it's too cheap for a loan, unless that 5k stated in the ad is actually just the downpayment and not the full price. Also a 5k car is definitely more than 10yrs old and not eligible for any bank loan, only a "loan kedai", which is a private contract between u and the shop selling the car, no official financial institutions involved. I don't think any UCD would refuse a full cash payment though, so be careful of the ones asking u to take a private loan with them, sound a very fishy to me 🙏🏽 😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage I know that is why I was skeptical but thanks for the advice bro, I think I should stick with private sellers because it is more honest and I always tend to not trust the pictures too much.
@@denshengho7505 you're most welcome bud, cheers 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
Chris, if I want to get the car inspected at an independent workshop...is it all right then to pay a deposit?
I guess so, but I would actually recommend taking a mechanic with u to see the car, pay for his time. I've done this before 😊👍🏾
Noted, thanks much for the reply 😊
Anytime, thanks for watching and the comment too!!🙏🏽😊
Hey Chris, great video and love how you restore all these old cars and give them a second life. Just wondering how do you find some of your cars that are relatively rare? because I don’t see them on mudah or carlist. Can you get the dealers to find them for you? Thanks a keep up the good work :)
Hey thanks for the kind words and for watching my silly vids bud, much appreciated 🙏🏽😀
Well, apart from Mudah, I've found a few of my Weevils on FB marketplace, as well as via word of mouth among friends 😊
One of my fave time-wasting-pasttimes is to trawl FB marketplace, ill advised though, it's a very dangerous place 😆😆😆
Chris Wee ohh thanks for the tip. Didn’t think of FB marketplace. Yup, you are right it is a dangerous place. Lol. Immediately found what I was looking for! Thanks again :D
good info Chris... what about buying recon cars. what are the things to look out for?
Thanks bud!! Hope u found it useful. Buying recon cars would be the same as local cars, just make sure all the documentation is in order if buying from a private seller (this is where Puspakom is vital) cos usually a used car dealer would have all this prepared in advance, but to be on the safe side, ask to see the Puspakom cert once the car has passed inspection 😊
Actually, from a certain angle, you do have some similarities with brad pitt Chris.In Fight Club
Hahaha!! After he got his face bashed in by the owner of the bar, mayyyyyyybe 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks bud!!🙏🏽👍🏾😁
Just wondering Chris, since I'm not even in a position yet to buy any car 😂, but let's say I'm willingly mentioned to process the Puspakom, changing name etc² like you said to the dealer, what's the procedure then? I noticed each time in your vids your cars change names at UTC, you will go together with the new owner. Does the dealer need a representative to be with you during that change?
Currently UTC is still not operating, but when it opens, yes, u can do your name transfer at the JPJ office in there. Ideally both buyer & seller should be there, however if the seller is out of state, he/she can do their thumbprint at any JPJ wherever they are, and u can do yours here subsequently. Everything is online now. Both of u need a photo of each other's MyKad for form-filling purposes, the transfer fee is rm100, bourne by the buyer who will get a new VOC in their name on the spot. The dealer does not need to be present unless the car being bought has been transferred to their company name, and he will need to be there to furnish all the necessary documents 😊
Owh okay. Thanks for the enlightenment. Keep the great insights coming! Can't wait for your upcoming vids :)
Cheers bud, stay tuned!!👍🏾😊🙏🏽
There are lots of variables second dealers to play with to rob your money, they announce 4% discount during the pandemic, more like 4% rip off to me🤣
LOL!! GOOD ONE!! Thanks for the laugh 😂😂😂
but charging 4k-8k for additional processing fees is absurd, that happen to me many times when I walk into some of the more common second hand car dealers area like Sg Besi, Cheras, Old Klang Road. Agree with you bullshit!!
I straight away walk off.
And I heard you cannot apply car loan on your own in owner-to-owner car selling.
Thanks for the info, that's new to me about the car loan thing!!
Yeah, it's blatantly absurd how much they try to charge, when I can get it all done myself for a tenth of the "football fee" price, it's ridiculous really. Thanks for watching and the feedback bud!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage yes, I was shocked to hear about the loan thingy and I called up the banks to verify the here say. It seems it is partially correct, some banks wouldn't entertain while some will entertain depending on who you know and how much money you have in the bank account.
It is good if you can look up on this matter as well.
I will do so, thanks for letting me know!! It's been 2 decades since I applied for a car loan, I'm sure a lot has changed in that time 😀
Hi folks. Buying from direct car owner and applying bank loan , you need a least 30 percent Downpayment according to CIMB hire purchase VP whom I encountered. For car dealers , the bank had strong connection with them,thus need lesser dp for the car.
@@grandehowe yes!! public bank doesn't even entertain if you deal direct with owner and set up a car loan for yourself.
It seems that these banks wants 2nd hand car buyers to buy and set up loans via 2nd hand car dealers.
Wow! All from Toyota...classic that never dissapponited the owner...are u going to buy those Corollas?
Those used to be mine bud, hahaha!!🙏🏽👍🏾😉
I need the cartoon pic where the salesperson slaps the roof of the car
Google image search for exactly that, hahaha!!😆
@@ChrisWeevilGarage you can say "this bad boy needs RM4000 runner's fee", hahaha
@@adamlee3709 hahaha!! I wish! Then again a fee like that would cost more than most of my cars, LOL!!!😂😂😂🤭
OMG i keep laughing when the *beeps* comes up... 🤣🤣
i would say the same things for all these BS...
yeah that's kind of my main reasons i dont like to go for used car dealers too...
n i nvr know the runner fees over there is this expensive
it costs me RM300 from a runner i have known for years (for company lorry inspection) for the passenger car Puspakom inspection + JPJ ownership transfer + VOC over here in JB...
That a still reasonable cos runners need to earn a living too, it's when the UCD hikes up the runner fee for their own pocket that makes the HUGE difference sometimes, all in the name of "processing fee". What s bunch of BS (oops, need another blip)😆😆😆🙏🏽😊
Thanks for watching and the comment!!😊👍🏾
The thumbnail con me here.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Awhh..
Lol!! It was either that, or my face... and I'm tired of my face 😆😆😆
