MICHAELDUTCH Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 My wife bought a new Toyota Yaris 2 years before our wedding The result is that this new car only has 7000 km on the clock and is not used Now, partly due to the crisis, she can no longer pay her monthly payment of 8700 baht per month. Questions: 1/Can she now return her car to Toyota and arrange something? 2.Can she sell the car independently to a third party 3.Can she resell the 7 year contract to a third party? She has now paid every month for more than 2.3 years (about 220,000 baht) The purchase price was around 700,000 baht She will probably be on a blacklist, but that's no problem In short: What can she expect and what is the best thing to do?

Popular Post CharlieH Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 She can find a buyer, and use the proceeds if sufficient to clear the outstanding debt in front of the buyer at the finance company and the company can handle the transfer. If the person wanting the car wants to "take over" the finance that "may be" possible but is subject to the Finance company approval and would need further exploring for this "specific" loan and circumstances. If the car is surrendered to the finance company it will usually be sold to a trader or at auction and the lady is responsible for any shortfall between whats owed and the sale price achieved. My advice, if its possible, pay off the car and then sell it free and clear of any issues. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wprime Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If the residual value of the car is more than the remainder of the loan against it, then she can sell it. Go with the buyer to the finance provider, the buyer pays off the loan and pays any extra difference to her. If the residual value is lower, then she has two choices. - She can still sell the car, but she will need to make up the difference (the buyer pays off the loan, and she pays an additional amount). - Default on the loan, the finance provider recovers the car. She will be blacklisted but since it sounds like she has no other assets, they will not likely pursue this further. Note in the first case she may be able to negotiate down the debt. Since she has the option to default completely, they should be happy to get whatever they can. She can offer to make a partial payment as a full and final settlement in return for not getting blacklisted. If they refuse, they get nothing at all and she gets blacklisted. If they comply, they get a partial payment and she doesn't get blacklisted. Never heard of anyone succeeding with this in Thailand, but a good negotiator should be able to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stubuzz Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 The loan value will still be more than the car is worth. 96months x 8700 = 939,600bt You currently have to pay 72 x 8700= 626,400. A 2019 Yaris is worth about 450,000. A difference of about 175,000bt. Whatever you do, you are going to lose money. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many scheduled services in 7000 km? However many are scheduled in 2-3 years, see his post. Low mileage doesn't mean that a car does not have to be serviced, most manufacturers recommend X,000km/X months.

"3.Can she resell the 7 year contract to a third party? She has now paid every month for more than 2.3 years (about 220,000 baht)" She's paid 28 payments already according to the OP (2.3 years) so 56 more to pay. It's academic, I know, but if you're going to give him a maths example to point out how much he's going to lose, best to get it right.

If you return the car to Toyota, Toyota will auction it, and the car will be sold for X THB. At the moment you owe Toyota 483,392 THB, so after the car has been auctioned off, Toyota will say: 483,392 THB - X THB = Y THB. So you still owe Toyota Y THB that you have to pay them. And if you don't pay them, it will not only be a blacklist, they will take your wife to court for owing them money / defaulting on your loans. Your best option is to consider the money paid so far gone, and sell the car for the remaining of the loan. I understand,Thank you for your advice. I completely understand that the auction price is far below the market price Thanks for your reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
