Hal65 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 In the US there is a market for taking over car payments and lease payments on higher end cars (even exotics). Does anyone know if this is also done in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleftheros Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The person taking over the car payment (as new owner) needs to be able to show a solid credit story to the finance company. That process can take a week or so. Obviously the previous owner has to come along to the finance company with you to sign the relevant documents.

Is USA credit history considered? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukKrueng Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 AFAIK you don't "take over" loan, but actually pay off the original and take a new one. Usually a loan for 2nd hand car is more expensive than for me out of the dealership. Credit history out of Thailand means nothing as they can't really verify it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US it is legal to conduct a sale "subject to existing financing." The seller's recourse if you default is the purchase/sale reverses without compensation for payments made thus far. So it sounds like it's either that or nothing as I have 0 credit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely true... neither party can benefit unduly from a finance contract... for example... if one makes a down payment of 50% of purchase price and something goes wrong and they cannot fulfill the rest of the contract, they will only be out the difference between the recoverable value of the vehicle vs the down payment vs the remaining value of the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
