“Walaoeh, why CARSOME sell cars so expensive one?”
“Dun buy from CARSOME lah. Better buy your car from somewhere else.”
Is it true that CARSOME’s used car prices are expensive? We get plenty of comments like these when someone suggests buying from us. Some would rather pay even more for a brand-new one!
This is not an attempt to fan our ego. In all honesty, our prices are already fairly priced based on market value and the overall condition of the cars. How do we do that? More on this later but first, we’ll let you in on a little secret on how we price our cars.
Why CARSOME’s Used Car Prices So Expensive?
There are various factors in how goods and services are priced in the market – it’s simple economics. But for the sake of this article, let’s keep it for another day unless you’re interested in how economics and commerce work.
Just like any other product and service the market has to offer, our used car prices are always in tune with the current market. We constantly monitor the market for each used car model we have. Occasionally, we will set some of our cars below market prices. This is to ensure every income group from all walks of life can afford a ride, especially with a pre-owned car.
Thus, our customers will have more choices offered at a competitive price along with the promise of a quality car from CARSOME. Buying a car for yourself or for a family member? We have all sorts of choices to pick from. We even have a premium selection of pre-owned luxury cars!

Second-Hand Perodua Myvis Are Expensive?
Some people claim that used car prices may vary depending on the year, model, and variant. Thus, these models tend to be shunned by buyers. Take this second-hand Perodua Myvi for example. It is uncommon for many to grumble about its prices despite being a used car.
This statement may not exactly hold true to dear. As mentioned above, car prices are based on market value and demand. If demand is high, so are the prices. If demand is low, the prices drop.
The car’s make, model, and variant aren’t the main driving factors that affect used car prices. It is the car’s condition, service report, and other additional factors that can affect the pricing.
You can check the list of our Perodua Myvi second-hand units on CARSOME’s website here. Do you think our used car prices listed here are reasonable enough compared to other used car dealerships? We’ll let you be the judge.
At the end of the day, taking unsolicited advice from non-professionals is a fool’s game. If they have no background or evidence to strengthen their claims, just treat it as a personal opinion from them.
Is It Better to Buy a New Car?
“Haiyah, why waste money buy used car? If you add on RMXXXX then you can buy a new one ady!”
Again, we cannot deny, that buying a new car has its benefits. However, there are those who are in dire need of a quick set of wheels, cheap. In addition, some budget brands like Proton and Perodua have a waiting list of up to one year due to demand!
Ask yourself – are you willing to wait for months, even a year just to get your car? That’s why used cars are still a popular choice as there’s no waiting list. All the vehicles are always ready from the get-go.
