How to Identify Your Car Variant for a Faster Car Sale

Selling your car? Highlighting the exact variant can attract more interested buyers and potentially fetch you a better price. With so many car models having multiple trims and packages, how do you identify yours precisely? Fear not, this guide will steer you in the right direction!

Philippine OR/CR Example

1. Understanding Your Car: What the Papers Tell You:

Registration: Your car's official registration (OR) issued by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) holds the key. Look for the section detailing the "Body Type" or "Model." This usually specifies the variant, like "GL" for a base model or "SEL" for a higher trim.

Owner's Manual: This trusty booklet often mentions the variant alongside the model name. It might even include specific features or engine details unique to your variant.

Car Badge and sticker

2. Decipher the Badges and Stickers:

Keen eyes can spot clues on your car itself. Look for badges or stickers on the trunk or fenders. These might denote the engine type ("VVT-i" for variable valve timing) or trim level ("SE" for Sport Edition).

3. Leverage the Power of the Internet:

The internet offers a wealth of information. Here's how to utilize it:

Manufacturer's Website: Visit your car brand's Philippine website. Navigate to the model page and explore the different variants offered. Compare features and specifications with your car to pinpoint the match.

Car Websites: Renowned car websites in the Philippines often have detailed breakdowns of car models and their variants. Search for your car's make, model, and year to access variant-specific information.
