Basic 2.3k is roughly there, transport allowance $850 is quite high, most companies are giving $500-$700.

2.3k might be too high since you have no experience. Diploma current starting pay ranges from 1.7-2.1k. As for transport allowance, usually company got fix policy not up for negotiation.

If I were you, I would ask the interviewer the salary range for this position and work towards that, if you would like to get a foot into this industry.
Having a vehicle does not justify that you can be in sales line. Always remember that.
Fresh from the force will cast doubts on a lot of recruiter. First of all, zero experience in sales. Zero experience in private sectors and markets. Now, tell me how can you justify in getting into the company in the first place.
Humble might be the only way to proof yourself.

Kelvin, no one is going to penalize you for not putting your expected salary on the interview form without first knowing the nature of the jobs and the competitive pay scale. If the job sounds interesting and got a lot of prospect, I think you won't mind about the basic pay. It is about how much can you bring in for the company and from there, you will get your commission or incentive by year end.
Don't be intimated by filling up your expectation. If the company is ethical, they will like to interview you based on your presentation skills and honesty, since you do not have much experience to talk about. Probably, they will shoot you some questions on what projects you have done in Poly and the relevancy to their products.
