JoePai Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The 5k will be a 'reserve' fee - once paid the Dealer will tell you the delivery date of your vehicle. Once the vehicle arrives you turn up at the Dealers, pay the balance and drive away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I always pay a 10K deposit on signing contract to purchase a vehicle which is deducted from the balance owed on the vehicle Only way they can keep your deposit is if you cancel the contract, then you loose your deposit this applies in all countries Normal practice is for the motor dealer to license the vehicle in your name once its paid for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaviolit Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sorry, but, have you ever bought a car in your country? is the same, give deposit and wait for a car, when car is ready you must to pay the balance, in cash or with tranfer bank, if you cancel contract or not pay the difference you will lost deposit. Like all countries !!! But I say if you have all these fears of Thailand, stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP it is worth asking how long you have to wait for the delivery and trying to get them to agree that if it is not delivered within a certain no. of weeks after that you can cancel and get your deposit back. If not an issue or no other alternatives then don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We put a small deposit on our new car to hold it before we bought it. We had a receipt given to us, and at the time of purchase the deposit was credited to the purchase price. You should not have a problem. Just make sure you have a paper trail.

Rori ban khun fang Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I did pay all for my last car when agreed on it. 890.000 bath. Three days later i could get the car. All arranged insurance, licence plate and registration. Even got free rubber mats. Telephone holder. Warning triangle. And three services for free. I am from the Europe but there it is same. To do. Only get the car when payd it. So what is 5000 bath on the total amount. When not trust the dealer why even go there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutoie2 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 In Dec 2010 I ordered new pickup truck from local Toyota dealer and give 5000 Baht to secure order. Later in March 2011 the dealer informs the truck not coming, stating tsunami in Japan cause big probs, come to dealer and get your money back. Late June 2011 dealer phones and says your truck come on transporter last night come and get. Still have the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ordered cars in the UK and US and ultimately canceled the purchase due to changing circumstance and/or mind, deposits refunded in full. Meanwhile in LOS, 5k is enough for the average plebs car and I have read that some get their deposit back if they cancel while others get stiffed. Otherwise the 5k comes off the agreed final purchase price on delivery. I also read that those ordering BMW's and Merc's are 'expected' to lodge 30k depoits.
