Trading in for a new Perodua? Know your car’s value first.

Perodua is one of the participating national carmakers in the government's matching grant programme launched in January 2026 — a government grant of up to RM2,000, matched by up to RM2,000 from the carmaker, for owners who scrap a car aged 20 years or more and buy a new national car. Perodua's model-by-model amounts had not been announced when the programme launched, so check the latest coverage for current details. Separately, Perodua runs monthly promotional offers — cash rebates and discounts that vary by model and month.

They're separate things. The monthly promo is a rebate or discount on the new car, announced by Perodua and the same for everyone. Your trade-in value is negotiated with the dealer for your specific car — and because both numbers land inside one deal, it's easy to lose track of what your car actually contributed. An independent valuation of your car keeps the two honest.

No. Dealers generally accept trade-ins of any make, and the government matching grant only requires that the car being scrapped is 20 years or older and that the new car is a national make — the old car can be any brand. The same goes for a Carro valuation: any make, any model from around 2001 onwards.

A dealer trade-in is one convenient transaction — car in, car out — but the trade-in value is negotiated inside the same deal as the new car's price, which makes it hard to see what you're really getting. Selling outright separates the two: you get a market price for your car, then negotiate the new Perodua as a cash buyer. Neither is always better — but you can only compare them if you have an independent number for your car first. That's what the free quote on this page is for.

You're in matching-grant territory: scrapping it via JPJ's e-Dereg and buying a new national car could be worth up to RM4,000 under the programme's structure. But check the car's sale value first if it still runs — a working car is valued as a car, not as scrap metal. Our old-car guide walks through the whole decision, including the JPJ procedure.

You will likely need the original registration card (geran/VOC), your MyKad or equivalent ID, and anything that evidences service history if you have it. If the car is still financed, bring or request an up-to-date settlement letter from your bank. Carro will confirm the exact list for your situation; the dealer will do the same for a trade-in.

Payment timing is part of Carro's sale terms — it is usually targeted to complete within about one working day after everything is signed and settled, but hire-purchase settlements and document delays can change that. Confirm the schedule in writing with Carro for your transaction.
