  • 01

    WHICH CAR SHOULD I BUY?

    You should buy a car that you’ve always dreamed of owning, one that matches your personality and lifestyle. We can help you with that, since buying a pre-owned car will let you choose from a wider range even when you’re on a limited budget. For example, within a certain price band, you can not only choose a Toyota model but also look at options from a range of multibrand cars.

  • 02

    How Old is “Old”?

    While cars can’t be measured in human years their year of registration and mileage will factor in the age of your car. While model and make can also play a role in the condition of your car, it’s these two factors that will determine its age.

  • 03

    HOW SHOULD I EXAMINE THE EXTERIOR & INTERIORS OF THE CAR?

    Here are some points to lookout for while purchasing a used car:

    • Look for signs of an accident, such as dents or new paint or chrome.
    • Make sure the hood shuts properly and the panels don’t have gaps or any deformation.
    • Check the body for rust or fill.
    • Check for cracks in the frame, rusting or welding.
    • Also check the condition of the muffler, tailpipe and exhaust components.
    • Look for signs of fluids leaking from the car, including oil, brake or transmission fluid.
    • Lift the hood and check the condition of the belts and hoses.
    • Check for any cracks in the battery and test the dipstick oil level and see if it's dirty.
    • Ensure that all the parts and accessories, such as lights, horn, mirrors, seatbelts, radio, heater and windows work.
    • Make sure doors open and close easily, and that handles, and locks work well.
    • Check the dimmer switch, headlights and windshield washer.

    Don’t worry, if you can’t do all this yourself our consultant will help you examine the car and reveal their observations transparently.

  • 11

    How do you determine the value of my car?

    First, we will check all your documents before checking the car itself. We check the paint and body for signs of previous body repair and frame or flood damage. Paint and paint lines, overspray, body putty, dents and scratches as well as any frame damage will also affect your car's value. We’re stringent about our evaluation as the next owners of your car should feel just as amazing owning it, which is why we don't resell any frame-damaged vehicles. Lastly, we test drive your car to determine its mechanical condition. Excessive mileage, ownership and wear and tear may lower your car's value and decrease its resale value.

  • 12

    Will you explain how you evaluate my car?

    If you have any questions about the evaluation of your car, speak with our evaluator who has conducted the evaluation. Our evaluators are transparent about the evaluation process, and will give you all the details, including what they looked for and what impacted your car's value.

    WHAT IF MY CAR IS HYPOTHECATED WITH A FINANCE COMPANY & I OWE MORE ON MY CAR THAN THE AMOUNT OF YOUR OFFER?

    If your car is hypothecated with a finance company, it can’t be sold until the full loan amount is paid back. You need to collect a Foreclosure Statement from the finance company to know about the pay-off amount at the time of selling your car. You can either pay the pay-off amount or Toyota U Trust will pay on your behalf and you will receive the balance amount against the delivery of the car along with the relevant original documents. Also, Toyota U Trust will hold a small amount for the NOC, which will be given to you against the NOC issued by the finance company. If your pay-off amount is more than the value of your car, we’ll calculate the difference between your pay-off and our offer to you. We'll accept a cash or demand draft in favour of the finance company for the difference in amount and then pay off your loan to the company for you. Please note that you might be asked to visit the finance company office along with our evaluator to close the loan as this is a requirement by the financier.

  • 14

    What happens to the cars Toyota U Trust buys?

    Once we purchase your car after evaluation, it is refurbished and serviced before being sold at our stores. When we sell, we verify the status of the buyer and ensure that documentation for transfer is handled properly. Proof of transferred RC is kept in our records and can be sent to you for your reference on demand.

  • 15

    Can I trade in my leased car?

    In most cases, you can trade in your leased vehicle in almost the same way as any other financed vehicle. Please note that some leasing companies will not allow you to sell the vehicle prior to the expiration of the lease.
