The Customs Department will auction off more than 200 vehicles it has seized and expects to generate at least Bt300 million.

 

 

The auction will be held on Saturday (August 8 ) from 8.30am at the Customs Department building in Bangkok’s Klong Toei district.

 

 

Seized cars and motorcycles scheduled to go under the gavel include sportscars such as the Ferrari California, Porsche Panamera Turbo and Nissan GTR.

 

 

Those interested can visit customsauction.sia.co.th to register, pay auction guarantee and see what’s up for sale. People can also visit the parking lot of the Customs Department from Wednesday between 9am and 6pm to check out the cars and motorbikes in person.

 

The event is organised by Siam Inter Auction.

Auction guarantee ????   is that the non refundable type ??

Also  I wonder if after buying these vehicles  does import tax still have to be paid ?

and what other obstacles  await registering for road use at the DLT ?

I've heard the stories of trying to get in to make a bid. Closed ecosystem.

That's a mere 1.5M per car. What are the others, Trabants?

Buy low, sell high. Classic insider sweetheart deals. ????

Trabants would be an excellent car for Thai's

Basically an underpowered plastic car

No more high speed impacts 

I wonder if Boss will be taking an interest.

Hope the ;police checked all the VIN numbers to see

if any of these cars were stolen from other countries.

Geezer

Imagine an open auto auction that farang expats could participate in....nah, will never happen.

Nice cars. Silver lining is they didn't end up being driven by some hi-so teen punk with zero driving skills - yet.

All the best ones will be sorted to go to the right places. The people they were meant for seemingly just send staff to buy these back and palms have been greased to make sure they get their cars back .

Apparently the Land Transport Dept refused to register cars bought in the customs auction last year.

or a Lambretta

Bloody hell. I wouldn't pay 4,380 on a bad day. Crazy prices. Skoda is the only car that's ever left me on the side of the road, in a -15 DegC snowstorm, so fond memories.
