Buying a used car from a car tent

[brianthainess]

After deciding to buy a used car, when to go to the bank to transfer money, what docs are needed. I presume once the transfer papers are signed ???

At the bank.

Nothing needed other than recipient name and account number.

Can even do it online from your laptop or banking app on your phone if you have one.

But yes, after vehicle transfer to your name at LTD.

Your question reads (to me) about money transfer.... not car and province transfer.

Sorry if i 'm confusing but the question remains, if he has signed the transfer papers, is then 'safe' to transfer the money to the owner/dealer. ? going tomorrow, he has the book shown on their car2car site.

Me personally.. would wait till book is in my name.

I purchased a BKK registered car, transferred at BKK LTD to my name, then had to come to Chonburi LTD to complete the transfer and get new plates.

I used an agent... I followed along so they had a face to point to.

Sorry, no one is going to sell you a car, wait for the book to be in your name without any money in the bank.

 

Transfer papers signed together, money in the bank at the same time is the way it should work.

Once in your name, no real need to transfer from BKK to Chonburi. Can renew tax regardless.

 

Perhaps something I am not aware off, but I think you will find that's the case.

You must have bought cars of the most gullible people in the world.

 

I've told you how the process works for the other 99.99%, so please don't tell me I am wrong ????

And yet you have the hide to call me wrong on something I have done.

The cheek of some people.

Ok, I'll rephrase, no one in their right mind is going to sell you a car.........

 

You've already admitted you know nothing of the process as you said you used an agent. You really have nothing to offer on this thread.

If the car is in your name you will not be allowed to drive on BKK plates...you will be made to change.

Sorry but you are 100% wrong. Last time I changed mine to my province from BKK to Trat simply because the dealer's tent staff found it to hard to put in a 'falang' name, so put in my wife's name. I only changed it bcoz i wanted it in my name. 

But having said that i do preferer it registered in my province as, right or wrong, i think the local cops don't bother so much to scrutinize you when stopped.

OK all this is how it went down, ref. when to hand over the money, arrived at the tent later than expected, they have 2 tents/show rooms only one shown on their site, eventually they came and showed us the way. 

having checked the car over, road test (floored it to get it hot as) got back and checked for oil leaks etc.

By now nearly 3pm, handed over my yellow book and PP (No prob. "we take care falang a lot.)  now the DMV was near to closing, so they went and changed the name, meanwhile off we went with a staff member to 'my' bank' after some discussions with bank staff, could direct transfer to their bank, or take cash, dealer did not want bank check,

A nice male customer there who spoke perfect English, suggested take the cash, so bank has all details and SMS me, which I did, got back to their tent, no car or book, told name is now you, but DMV vely busy, to check car, so finished tomorrow, plus they changed the oil, 4 new tires, taxed for 6mths  

Anyhow with lots of signing their, forms, copies of my passport, photos of handing over cash, and them counting it, receipt in hand (by now I'm very tired and need to find hotel) as my wife is an inexperienced driver, they offered to deliver the car tomorrow to KOH CHANG ferry from Chon Buri  Phew my missus drives really slow and not used to heavy traffic, we stayed in Klang that night, we got to the ferry and waited till the agreed time 1pm, it arrived bang on time, we had also been sent a vid of it being loaded that morning, the Blue book will be sent EMS ASAP, so we have the car at home now, I would recommend this dealer (so far) on Car2Car  'My Best Cars'.

I won't bother now to change it to my province, no need.  

Sorry if this is a long post.
