Hello,

I am from Bangalore and looking to purchase a used car and came across PreCarMart (https://www.precarmart.com/). Just wanted to know if anyone had any dealings with them and any reviews about them? I see very good ratings on google.

Also, the salesperson said they have an unofficial 1 year policy if there are any problems with the purchased car (unofficial because they don't own a service center and can't officially give it). I asked them if they give this in writing but since it is unofficial they don't. So just wanted to check if anyone had any experience with them about this particular "unofficial" commitment as well.

Anything said "unofficially" should not be trusted.

How is they not owning a workshop relevant here?

I had bought a Tata Nano as a second car from them two years ago. The transactions were smooth and they also assisted in getting the RC changes as well as all related changes. Assistance received was in, getting insurance transferred from previous owner, PUC certificate, Document stating that I had bought the car from the dealer and the car isn't involved in theft etc.

They had even assured that for 1 year, if any issue is found out with the car, they would get the issue resolved (excluding battery issues). Fortunately even after 2 years, I haven't had any issues in the car bought from them.

Hope this helps.

Not sure, that was the reasoning they gave.

Thanks @carlosTHEjackal for sharing your review.

Folks, any recent interactions with precarmart. Has anyone sold or bought from them recently. Are they trustworthy and dependable or should be avoided.

I got a reasonable offer from them for my Polo GT and was wondering if I should go ahead or not.

Thanks

Thanks

Last week, I handed over my second-hand car to PreCarMart and and like you, I received a slightly better offer.

A few years ago, I found their contact details through a Google search and saved their number on my phone, even though I did not purchase from them for later use .

They post pre-owned cars in their inventory on their WhatsApp status, which are, most of the time, good vehicles (based on the exterior, interior photos, and kilometers run).

I thought of using their services after receiving quotes from OLX, Cars24, and my previous dealer.
PreCarMart requested an inspection before committing to any price, and their representative came to my office for the inspection, which took about an hour. Within 15 minutes of completing the inspection, PreCarMart offered me a price, which I tried to negotiate. They agreed to increase the price, but they needed me to hand over the RC to their representative to lock the deal.
This made me worried, so I requested to meet their staff in person at their office. They agreed, and I sent them soft copies of the documents they needed along with my bank details. PreCarMart credited a token amount of 10,000 rupees to my account.

Their office was located on the first floor of a building in HSR 27th main, which was hard to locate as I was expecting a garage or space to display the vehicles. I met the person who was dealing with me till then, and after discussing the matter, I handed over the RC to them, requesting them to wait until Saturday to take the car.

On Saturday, two different people came to inspect the car again, test drove it, and explained the transfer procedure. We signed the RTO form and NOC, and I received a copy stating that PreCarMart would be responsible from that day until the transfer to the new owner. Once everything was confirmed, they credited the remaining amount, minus the traffic fine, and took the keys, and drove away.

Overall, I feel that PreCarMart's processes and confidence are better than most dealers, including Cars24 and OLX, as they sell directly to the next owner rather than to another dealer.

I agree with your assessment. My Polo GT TSI was sold to them in March fordt week and I got the copy of the transferred RC copy in April. The process was very smooth and they paid the best price. I would overall recommend them over other ls any time.

I got a 2021 MG Hector from them yesterday and the entire process was pretty smooth. Their SA's are decently informed about all cars & guide us along the whole process with no push whatsoever and provide the test drives as many times as we want. I even took the car to the service center for a checkup which took almost the entire day and they were okay with it. Post the checkup there were recommendations to change a couple of things on the car. Precarmart folks were fine to reduce the amount of those from the final price. The whole process was transparent and gave me an actual dealership experience.

An overall happy customer of them. I would recommend them.
