Kuala Lumpur, 16 March 2022 - myTukar, the nation’s fastest growing digital used car marketplace has just concluded its very first car giveaway contest, as part of its fourth-year anniversary celebration. The lucky winner, Mohamad Ariff bin Mohamad Borhanud (27) from Kuala Lumpur, drove away with a mint-condition Proton X70, 1.8 TGDI Executive 2WD (2019), worth over RM100,000, the highest value car giveaway by myTukar, to date.
The car giveaway was hotly anticipated and contested over a period of 2 months, from 1st December 2021 till the 9th of January 2022. Over 300 participants participated in the contest, each hoping to be the chosen one. In the end only one contestant could drive away with the grand prize. The winner was chosen via a lucky draw on Facebook Live.
“I was excited and overwhelmed, when I found out that I won,” Ariff said about the moment he was told he was getting a Proton X70. “It definitely turned my entire day around. When I was announced as the winner, I was in shock! With my budget and financial planning, I was just thinking about buying a simple Proton Satria Neo, and did not even consider the possibility that I could win a car as grand as the Proton x70.”
Habibatun, Ariff’s wife said, “It was really surprising, I checked and rechecked through Facebook and the website and noticed the live video announcing the lucky draw winner. When I heard my husband’s name in the video, I was truly surprised. What has been even more pleasant is the condition and quality of the car. It drives great and feels brand new. I would definitely recommend everyone to get a car from myTukar, as the process was easy, and everything from A-Z was handled hassle-free and transparently."
Ariff’s new car, as with all other vehicles sold under myTukar, has undergone an extensive full service to ensure its safety and quality is top notch. The vehicle has also passed through myTukar’s comprehensive 360° Car Check, to detect any possible defects major and minor.
Commenting on the car giveaway, Derrick Eng, CEO of myTukar said, "The Proton X70 car giveaway has been the brand's first contest to date, and it is awesome to see it has encouraged more people to consider buying used cars. We are thrilled and excited to present Ariff with a high quality car such as the Proton X70. This is by far the highest value car giveaway being done in Malaysia to date.”
Derricks also explained that Ariff’s car buying journey as with all other customers purchasing their car under myTukar, was transparent and hassle free. “Customers buying their vehicles from myTukar will find the process seamless and smooth sailing, from obtaining JPJ’s approval, securing car insurance and financing options settled by myTukar’s Product Geniuses, right down to the transfer of ownership.”
When asked about if there were going to be more contests or similar giveaways, Derrick said, "We are actually planning on conducting even more contests and giveaways in 2022 through our retail campaigns. We might be even giving away premium car services. More details regarding the contests and giveaways will be revealed upon the commencement of the campaigns”.
With a strong track-record in the market, myTukar is aiming to achieve another major milestone - the opening of six new showrooms by mid 2022. Furthermore, in order to enhance the buying and selling experience of used cars via myTukar, the brand is also looking to launch a consumer app very soon.
