  Hi,
  
  Beware when u r dealing w car-agents. Ooopss.. sori no offence.
  
  Just sharing my experience.. I hv quite a couple of unpleasant dealings la ... Very helpless & feel like at their mercy & svs no good olso la...
  
  BTW, I knew of this agent who is so far generous & reliable. He willingly to answer my questions/ doubts.. ( sori .. guys .. I am a lady-driver who knows "nuts" abt cars ) .. And find him very honest ... in terms of cars dealings.
  
  So if u interested, call HP: ******** for further details..
  
  cheers

  Most likely, the dealer will makan your car at scrap value + your body. If exporting the car, you might be getting scrap value + about $2K-$4K at most or even lesser. The dealer will then export the car and earn about $3K-$5K.
  
  Your car should be under the old scheme of 80% PARF (before May 2002). So your rebate for PARF will be 1.3 x OMV, plus the remaining COE left.

  check how much u own the bank.
  
  Normally the dealer will tell u he settle everything for u, including the bank loan, then pass the balance to u. /and the best thing is the bank never sent the settle statement to u. so the dealer normally will just add 300 to 500 to the amount, without u knowing. and people just too lazy to check with the bank, and the dealer got off with extra $500.
  
  when one finds out, the dealer will normally say, oh it is a mistake on their part, soorrry hor, we will refund u.
  and so no one report this type of cheating to the police and it continue.
  
  good luck to your sale.
