Letters from the Equator

A lesson to learn for everyone intending to buy a used car in Malaysia, and plan to find out specifically which documents are important.

• prepare photostated IC of buyer and seller, complete with Borang C1 for each IC, stamped by commissioner of oath (RM6 fee)
• 2 original copies of JPJ K3 Form, signed by both buyer and seller
• prepare cover letter or copy of insurance policy
• prepare copies of Form 9, 44 and 49, from the seller if the car is company owned. Forms have to be signed by the company secretary with appropriate stamp.
• Puspakom check-up (can be done by runner, RM40 for full checkup). Not necessary if end financer is not a bank or something, but recommended anyway.
• letter of indemnity for the runner.
• transfer of ownership agreement letter.
• pay runner RM250, which covers stamp fees of RM100, and other miscellaneous fees (mostly runner fees).

Main Puspakom + JPJ centers in the Klang Valley are…
