\u201cWalaoeh, why CARSOME sell cars so expensive one?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDun buy from CARSOME lah. Better buy your car from somewhere else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it true that CARSOME\u2019s 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!<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019ll let you in on a little secret on how we price our cars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why CARSOME\u2019s Used Car Prices So Expensive?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"WhyThere are various factors in how goods and services are priced in the market \u2013 it\u2019s simple economics. But for the sake of this article,\u00a0 let\u2019s keep it for another day unless you\u2019re interested in how economics and commerce work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/p>\n

Second-Hand Perodua Myvis Are Expensive?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WhyThis 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The car\u2019s make, model, and variant aren\u2019t the main driving factors that affect used car prices. It is the car\u2019s condition, service report, and other additional factors that can affect the pricing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can check the list of our Perodua Myvi second-hand units on <\/span>CARSOME\u2019s website here<\/span><\/a>. Do you think our used car prices listed here are reasonable enough compared to other used car dealerships? We\u2019ll let you be the judge.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, taking unsolicited advice from non-professionals is a fool\u2019s game. If they have no background or evidence to strengthen their claims, just treat it as a personal opinion from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is It Better to Buy a New Car?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cHaiyah, why waste money buy used car? If you add on RMXXXX then you can buy a new one ady!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WhyAsk yourself \u2013 are you willing to wait for months, even a year just to get your car? That\u2019s why used cars are still a popular choice as there\u2019s no waiting list. All the vehicles are always ready from the get-go.<\/span><\/p>\n

At CARSOME, if any vehicle captures your fancy, all you have to do is put down the booking fee for the car you want. Give it a test drive too before you proceed with the purchases. Moreover, if you change your mind, you can always cancel the booking and your booking fee will be refunded.*<\/span><\/p>\n

*Terms and Conditions apply.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So, Is CARSOME\u2019s Cars Cheap or Expensive?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s the thing. Our car prices are strictly based on market conditions. It\u2019s not just CARSOME who’s doing this; in fact, there are other dealers who utilize the same strategy too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WhyWhat\u2019s cemented as a fact is the prices on CARSOME\u2019s website are always final without any surcharges. What you see is what you\u2019ll be paying for, unless you’re going for an extended warranty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
