SINGAPORE - Private car sellers can now get the best price for
their vehicles by using new service Wheel Deal.
Launched by Singapore Press Holdings at The [email protected], the service helps mine the market
for the best prices.
Wheel Deal allows owners to gather and shortlist offers from used
car dealers, and receive the highest quote for their vehicle within
one working day.
Open to commercial vehicle owners, companies or even government
agencies, users can sign up for the service via a hotline, SMS, or
on itswebsite.
Sellers who complete successful transactions with any one of the
Wheel Deal recommended dealers will receive $50 worth of petrol
vouchers.
"Not every car owner is familiar with the used car market," said Ms
Florence Tan, senior advertisement sales director at SPH Print
Classified Call Centre.
"Most car owners trade in their cars when they buy a new one. They
are not aware that other car dealers may buy their used cars at a
higher price," Ms Tan added.
"People selling their cars always want the best price but may not
know how or lack the time to get the best quotes," head of SPH
Classified Call Centre Angie Choong said.
"Wheel Deal gets our readers the best value when they sell their
car."
Mr Derrick Sim, 44, who is self-employed, is among the first to
successfully sell their cars through Wheel Deal after the service
soft-launched on Oct 1.
He sold his six-year-old Kia Cerato to 99 Motors Trading within a
few days of getting the quote through Wheel Deal.
"When I found out there was this new service to help me sell my car
at the best price, I decided to give it a try. It is a fast and
convenient way to sell my car. I saved myself the trouble of having
to receive calls and letting strangers test drive my car. With
Wheel Deal, there is an assurance that I am getting quotes from
serious buyers," he said.
