Questions, answered
Everything sellers ask before they submit a board.
Selling
How the board, the bidding and the viewing work.
How fast can I sell my car?
Within 10 minutes during office hours, for most submissions. Once your details are in, our certified partner dealers bid on your car, we call you with only the highest offer, and if you say yes the deal is agreed on that call. Viewing, paperwork and payment follow at a time and place you choose.
Does it cost anything to sell through MABcars?
No. Submitting your car, receiving offers and arranging a viewing are free for sellers. Our partner dealers pay for access to the bidding platform, so you never pay a listing fee or commission.
Am I obligated to accept the offer?
Never. The offer is yours to accept, negotiate or decline. Even after a viewing, you can walk away if the final figure does not match what was quoted.
What happens at the viewing?
The winning dealer inspects the car in person, usually at a location you choose in Metro Manila or nearby provinces. They verify the condition matches your submission, confirm the offer, and if you agree, payment and paperwork follow on the same day or the next.
Can I sell a car that is still under financing?
Yes. Tell us the bank and your remaining balance. The dealer settles the outstanding loan directly with the bank as part of the purchase, and you receive the difference.
Valuation
Where the number comes from and who sees your details.
How accurate is the valuation?
Our valuation is not a formula guess; it is the actual highest bid from dealers who buy cars like yours every week. It reflects your brand, model, variant, year, mileage, condition, service history and current market demand.
Will you share my plate number or contact details?
Your plate number is masked from photos and never shown to dealers. Your name and mobile number are shared only with the winning dealer, and only after you accept the offer.
Paperwork
Documents, deeds of sale and the LTO transfer.
Who handles the LTO transfer of ownership?
MABcars and the dealer handle it. You sign a notarized Deed of Sale and hand over the original OR/CR; the dealer processes the transfer at the LTO so the car is no longer under your name.
What documents should I prepare to sell my car?
The original Certificate of Registration (CR) and latest Official Receipt (OR), a valid government ID, and, if applicable, a release of chattel mortgage from your bank. We will guide you through anything else on the day.
