KUALA LUMPUR: Used-car dealers are calling for less red tape under the Hire Purchase (Amendment 2010) Act 1967 which will take effect in June.
Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Car Dealers and Credit Companies Association (KLSCDCCA) president Khoo Kah Jin wanted clarification on whether there would be one or two vehicle inspections under the amendment.
“It is still not clear if used-cars need to be inspected by the JPJ (Road Transport Department) and then Puspakom before they can be sold,” Khoo said at the KLSCDCCA annual general meeting here yesterday.
“We hear that second-hand cars will need to undergo a multi-point inspection before the JPJ inspection for transfer of ownership.

“We hear that second-hand cars will need to undergo a multi-point inspection before the JPJ inspection for transfer of ownership.
“There should only be one inspection to streamline the process and the inspection should be opened up to the vehicle distributors as well.”
Khoo said if there were two inspections, it would mean buyers would have to wait longer for their cars.
“Disputes on the car's condition can also arise because our appraisal of the car may not match Puspakom's criteria. Since Puspakom is the only body conducting the inspections, we will have no choice but to repair the car at our expense,” he added.
Last week, Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that all second-hand, refurbished and modified motorised vehicles would be required to undergo inspections at Puspakom before they can be sold.
