Buying used, which car evaluation service to go for?

[tomasulu]

sgcarmart's dealers seem to use STA by default. i am a little uncomfortable that dealers seem alright with them, if you know what i mean.

When I sold my previous ride, the buyer went with Vicom and I was surprised by how much they uncover, even noting a minor fender bender accident/repair.

what has been your experience? which car evaluation would you go for?

Any of our site sponsers - R2D, BVO or J4C.

bro, from what I know, if the car is brought to STA check by the workshop or the dealer, the reliability of the check drops significantly. (Well, most of the time).
Prob better if you bring it yourself, but for BMW, i belive J4C or BVO would be quite good as well

yeah the conflict of interest is what worries me... has anyone brought their cars to be evaluated by any of the companies here? VICOM is very good but expensive.
