Seven vehicle shopping features of Carmudi you don't know

By now you may have experienced browsing for your dream vehicle on Carmudi Philippines. Whether you are looking for cars, motorcycles or commercial vehicles, this online car buying and selling site has the largest number of listings to choose from. But, did you know that Carmudi also has very unique features that are not found on other similar platforms? Below are ten features that can better your vehicle shopping on Carmudi's website.

Carmudi apps

Can't get enough of vehicle shopping or are you a car trader looking for a vehicle that you can grab for your buy and sell business? You can actually bring the whole Carmudi experience right to your fingertips just by downloading its app, available in both Android and iOS versions. And get this: if you are a Smart subscriber you actually get free data when using the Carmudi App giving you more time to do your online car shopping.

Type your query in the search box

Do you find it hard to navigate the site using the drop-down search buttons that narrow your search to find the car’s brand, model, year built, price range, location and condition? You can also narrow your search by typing it in the search box. It also generates the same results page and saves you a lot of time (if not clicks). Other terms that you can type in this box are the vehicle’s color, fuel and drivetrain.

Negotiable prices button

Are you the type of buyer who likes to haggle (tawad)? Here is a function for you. There are a lot of listings on Carmudi PH that have the letter “I” icon which signals that this vehicle’s price is not yet final and can still be negotiated. Take advantage of at least contacting the dealer and asking for his bottom price, so you can better assess if the car is within your budget.

Refining your car search

Did your first search not yield the result that you wanted? You can further refine your search by using these parameters at the top of the listing so you can sort through them according to your preferences- from price, mileage and even the year the vehicle was released. Do note, however, that featured vehicles usually occupy the top three spots of each results page, and you need just a bit of scrolling down to get your desired list. The left side drop-down tabs are also used to further narrow down your inquiries.

Online garage for comparison

When you have registered on Carmudi PH, as a seller or just as a buyer, you can actually view your search history in the virtual garage. This function allows you to track and easily compare your shortlist of vehicles. If you find the car or any vehicle you like you can simply click the "Park and Compare" button and it will instantly be saved. To review your favorite vehicles just click on the "My Garage" button found either on the bottom of each listing or on the top side of the homepage.

Dealer information and working hours

Are you having second thoughts about whether the vehicle you are viewing came from a trusted dealer? Here is a nifty tip for you. Simply scroll down near the end of each product or listing page and you can find who the dealer of the vehicle is. Click on the dealer's name and it will bring you to another page where you can find a short description and other information regarding his or her operation. The working hours of the establishment are also listed on the page so you can match your schedule if you want to inspect your target vehicle.

Carmudi FAQ page

If you still have questions about anything related to the use of Carmudi PH's website and its apps, you can easily drop by its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page on: www.carmudi.com.ph/faq. Answers go both ways for buyers and sellers, alike. Those who are also wary of some posts that may be fraudulent can rest assured that Carmudi is doing its best to prevent scammers from committing their acts on the website.
