How FATCAR Works
FATCAR helps overseas buyers define a vehicle request, search Singapore opportunities, inspect the selected candidate and coordinate the next commercial and export steps without relying on a large owned inventory.
Three details begin the process
From request to export coordination
Each stage should provide enough information for the buyer to decide whether to continue. FATCAR does not need to purchase and hold every car before a customer request exists.
A sourcing option, inspection booking and vehicle purchase are separate decisions with separately confirmed costs.
Send your request
Tell FATCAR the model, year range, mileage, budget, quantity and destination.
FATCAR reviews the brief
We identify missing information, practical alternatives and points requiring destination confirmation.
Receive suitable options
Current Singapore vehicle opportunities are checked and presented with available seller information.
Select a candidate
The buyer chooses which vehicle deserves a closer review or inspection.
Inspect before purchase
Photos, video and visible-condition findings support the buyer decision.
Confirm quotation and export steps
Commercial terms, payment instructions and export coordination are confirmed before proceeding.
A process for individuals, dealers and importers
The core workflow remains the same, but recurring commercial buyers usually need clearer quantity and specification rules.
One vehicle, clear priorities
- Define one preferred model and alternatives
- Confirm personal budget and destination
- Review the candidate information carefully
- Arrange inspection before purchase
- Confirm all costs before payment
Repeatable sourcing criteria
- Share repeat models and buying ranges
- State quantity and shipment frequency
- Accept practical alternative specifications
- Use inspection criteria consistently
- Track quotations and confirmed availability
Who confirms what during the process
Clear responsibility reduces misunderstandings, especially around import rules, hidden condition risks and commercial commitments.
| Area | Buyer | FATCAR |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle requirements | Buyer provides the intended model, budget, destination and timing. | FATCAR reviews and searches around the confirmed brief. |
| Import eligibility | Buyer confirms destination rules with relevant authorities or import professionals. | FATCAR can flag issues but does not replace destination authority approval. |
| Condition decision | Buyer chooses the acceptable risk and inspection scope. | FATCAR documents accessible visible findings when inspection is booked. |
| Commercial approval | Buyer approves the quoted vehicle and service costs. | FATCAR confirms the applicable payment and coordination steps. |
Questions about the FATCAR process
Understanding the checkpoints before payment helps buyers use the sourcing service more effectively.
When does FATCAR start searching?
After receiving enough detail about the preferred vehicle, budget, quantity and destination to build a realistic search brief.
Do I have to pay before seeing any options?
The sourcing and service terms are confirmed for the enquiry. Vehicle purchase, inspection and export costs should not be assumed to be one automatic payment.
Can I reject a vehicle after inspection?
Yes. Inspection exists to support the buyer decision before purchase, subject to any seller reservation or service costs already incurred.
How long does the full process take?
Timing depends on the difficulty of the request, seller access, inspection, buyer decisions, documents and shipping arrangements.
Does FATCAR guarantee destination approval?
No. Destination authorities and import professionals determine final eligibility. FATCAR can support vehicle information and coordination.
