Foo Mee Har

Ms Foo Mee Har asked the Minister for Transport what can be done to improve the vehicle transfer process for used cars to facilitate concurrency of payment and ownership transfer so that consumers can be protected from the risk of having made payment without a proper transfer of car ownership.

Lui Tuck Yew

The sale of a used vehicle is a private transaction between a buyer and a seller. The onus is on both parties to agree on how the owner would transfer the ownership of the vehicle to the buyer.

LTA has measures in place to ensure that used car transactions are properly carried out. The buyer and seller can arrange for concurrent payment and registration of the transfer of vehicle ownership with LTA if they meet certain pre-requisites, such as having cleared all outstanding vehicle loans and have obtained the necessary identification documents. Upon the transfer, LTA will issue a notification letter to both parties to inform them of the change in ownership. This can also be verified online at the OneMotoring website.

LTA also works closely with the Consumers' Association of Singapore (CASE) and the Singapore Vehicle Traders Association (SVTA) to promote industry best practices, including CaseTrust accreditation for motor vehicle dealers.
