The honest version of how selling works — how the number’s set, the loan we clear, the auction, and what dealers need to know. No fine print, no runaround.
Can’t find it? A real person answers, any time.
Real people, real answersSelling your car.
The number, the honesty, the loan, the paperwork, and your two ways to sell — answered plainly.
Snap your log card and Carle reads it — make, model, COE left and paper value, straight off the LTA data. Then we price your car against the live market: real recent sales and depreciation, not a fishing offer.
You see every line the moment you get the number. No black box, no lowball.

Indicative — firmed at inspection.The online number is indicative— an honest estimate from your log card and the market. It’s firmed at a quick inspection, where we confirm condition and mileage.
If the car matches what you told us, the number holds. If something’s different, we explain exactly what changed and why — no surprise haircut at the door. And you’re never obligated: walk away, free.
Indicative online, firmed at inspectionNo hidden cutYes. Most cars we buy still have finance owing — it’s normal.
We settle the outstanding loan directly with your bank or finance company, then pay you the balance. You don’t front the difference, and you don’t chase the paperwork. If the loan is more than the car’s worth, we tell you upfront what you’d need to top up — before you commit to anything.
We clear the finance, then pay you the balanceS$0 upfrontWe do — the whole ownership transfer. Once you accept and we’ve inspected the car, our team files the LTA transfer, handles the road tax and insurance hand-back, and sorts the COE rebate where it applies.
You bring the car and your IC. We handle the forms. Payment and handover are done within 7 days of you accepting.
We file the transfer, road tax and insurance7-day doneTwo ways, same starting number. Sell to Carle is fast and certain: take our offer, get paid in 7 days, done. List on the auction can fetch more: licensed dealers bid for 48 hours and you set the floor — nothing sells below your minimum.
Either way it’s free to you, and you can walk away at any point. Most people who want certainty sell to us; most people chasing the top price list it.
Same number to start — you pick the pathS$0 to youYour car goes live as a lot, starting from your Carle value. Licensed dealers bid against each other — never against you — for 48 hours. You set the floor, so nothing sells below your minimum.
The final five minutes are sealed: bids are hidden, so no one can snipe at the last second or collude on a ceiling. Our team watches every lot and calls you the moment a strong offer lands. You decide — never obligated.
Bid figures are members-only — they stay off the open web. Here’s how a real spread looks to a seller:

Deposit, commission, disputes and the sealed phase — the numbers, stated as fact.
You place a S$500 deposit per lotwhen you bid. It’s refundable — held while you’re in the running and auto-released when the lot closes if you don’t win.
It’s only forfeited if you win and then back out, per the dealer terms. The deposit keeps bidding genuine: every bidder is real, ID-checked and committed.
Deposit held on bidS$500Auto-released at close (no win)+ S$500A flat 1% +GST commission, invoiced only on a completed win. No win, no fee. No listing fee, no monthly fee, no charge for losing bids.
You pay the seller for the car off-platform, the usual way. Carle invoices the 1% +GST as a tax invoice once the win is confirmed.
Commission on a win1% +GSTRaise a dispute with proof. Every lot is backed by the seller’s log card, so make, model, COE and paper value are on record before you bid.
If the car materially differs from its listing at handover, our team reviews the evidence — photos, inspection notes — and decides fairly. A genuine, proven misrepresentation isn’t held against you. Frivolous disputes are, per the dealer terms.
Reviewed on evidence, log-card-backedProof-basedFor 48 hours it’s open bidding — you see the current high and bid in $100 steps; an outbid fires a notification. The final five minutes are sealed: bids are hidden from everyone, so the close is decided on your best honest offer, not a last-second snipe.
Sealed final bids are never shown publicly. It keeps the finish fair for every dealer — no ceiling collusion, no sniping war.
