Hey, present or future KL Expat!
- So, you're thinking of buying a used-car here in Malaysia. Congrats! It's an exciting decision that will open you up to all that KL (and beyond) has to offer.
But buying a car in Kuala Lumpur can be a challenge for a number of reasons:
----
1. It's not uncommon to find used-cars for sale in KL that have tampered odometers.
Shady Seller: "Everything in tip-top shape! Best-Price for you!" Expat: ".....uh huh."
2. Ask other expats... on direct sell websites like Mudah and Carlist, it can be hard to find good-quality cars at a fair price. Sellers can be pretty shady and there are lots of scams.
3. Also, searching for cars online is tedious, and you can be left feeling unsure of the history of the vehicle. Not to mention going in for all the viewings. It can all really start to feel like you're going in circles....
But there's a better way!
When you shop with a trusted, expat-oriented company like Expat Car Sales those problems are all taken care of!

Is the car safe?

Is the mileage and history of the vehicle genuine?
How many seats do you need?
What is the main purpose of your vehicle?
