We’ve all heard it before: you’ve just found the deal of a lifetime on a certain online classified, but as soon as payment is made, you realise that the actual car was not what’s initially promised.
Unfortunately, these kinds of scams happen more often than you think – whether it’s a salvaged “total loss” car, one with a fraudulent odometer reading, or in worst case scenarios, stolen cars being sold as used vehicles.
Buying a used car can be risky, especially when there are bad actors out to get unsuspecting victims – but otofacts.com can help.
Otofacts.com is Malaysia’s first online automotive bureau, offering detailed reports for used cars from Japan, United Kingdom, United States, and Malaysia. The company currently holds the country’s largest database of automotive records!
The reports, which can be purchased from as low as RM19.99, offer customers a detailed overview of their dream cars’ pasts, with information such as past accidents, mileage history, theft, ownership, written-off status, and recall records.
For vehicles imported from Japan, otofacts.com even offers additional data such as airbag deployment history and auction-grade reports.
Despite being one of the cheapest solutions in the market, otofacts.com does not compromise when it comes to data accuracy, thanks to its direct information access to auction houses, insurance companies, and even government agencies.
These information can significantly help improve transparency in the car buying process, aiding second hand car buyers in making informed decisions, and thus reducing their exposure to fraud.
In fact, otofacts.com’s database is so detailed, that even credit reporting agency CTOS is relying on their information for their CTOS Vehicle Check feature!
To obtain a report, all you need is your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or chassis number – a unique identifier for each vehicle on the road. These can be found on your front windscreen, door posts, inside the engine bay, or within your ownership documentation.
Once payment is made through the website, your detailed report will be delivered promptly, often within hours – and that’s it! otofacts.com’s responsive customer support team is also always ready to assist in case of any difficulties.
Since the launch of their consumer reports platform in 2021, otofacts.com has quickly become one of the most popular choices for buyers of reconditioned or imported vehicles in Malaysia, as just a quick “sanity check” can already give buyers invaluable assurances before a purchase.
But the detailed reports are not just useful for car buyers; they can be a valuable resource for those planning to sell their cars too! When selling a car, having a detailed report about your vehicle’s origins and history can help boost the value of your car.
So no matter if you’re buying or selling a used car, otofacts.com is here to help you get the most out of it. Learn more about their services on their website, linked here.
