Buying a used car has become a popular choice for many because it’s more affordable than buying a brand-new vehicle. With a budget of around Rp100 million, you can secure a car in excellent condition.

One of the easiest and most transparent places to buy a used car is Balai Lelang Serasi, or IBID for short. IBID offers a wide selection of cars from various brands, models, and manufacturing years, allowing you to find the perfect match for your needs and budget.

However, picking the best unit from a sea of options can be challenging. So, IBID introduced the “Compare” (Bandingkan) feature to help you conveniently make a more objective decision.

What is the “Compare” Feature on IBID?

The “Compare” feature allows you to evaluate 2–4 cars side-by-side on a single screen. The information you can compare includes:

• Base price
• Technical specifications
• Manufacture year
• Vehicle documentation
• Grade based on the inspection report (interior, exterior, frame, and engine)

This feature provides a clear overview of the differences between each car before you make your final decision. Currently, the “Compare” feature is available on the IBID website only.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the “Compare” feature on the IBID website.

• Visit the IBID website at www.ibid.astra.co.id
• Navigate to the IBID used car auction page and search for the vehicle you are interested in
• Select a car
• Click on a car to open its details page.
• Click the “Compare” (Bandingkan) button
• On the car details page, click the Compare option. The car will be automatically added to your comparison list.
• Add other cars
• Repeat the previous steps for any other cars you wish to compare. You can select a minimum of two and a maximum of four cars at a time.
• View the comparison
• Once you have selected all the cars, click the comparison option to view their details side by side on a single screen.

On the comparison page, you can evaluate differences in specifications, overall condition, and grades. IBID categorizes car conditions into grades ranging from A (highest) to E (lowest), based on inspection reports.

This allows you to bid with confidence, knowing you have chosen the car that best meets your needs.
