Questions about buying second hand bike


VinnieK

Recommended Posts

Hi all 

Buying a second hand bike.

The shop insists on registering it themselves ,at a cost, and a 1 month waiting period 😱

Btw the bike is from a different province.

I believe I can do it myself in a day as I have done it before.

Any ideas?

 

Also....if I agree to let them do it, what insurance cover do I have during that period?  If any...

Advice appreciated.

If they don't let you do things the way 'you want' then why buy from the shop ? - just don't deal with the hassle of something questionable. 

 

Theoretically, they can register the bike in your name instantly, but that means they will have to go to the DLT with you, or issue you with Power of Attorney documents (that give permission for you to register the bike in your own name).

I have come across this before, in most cases the reason is they don't have the green book, either was bought in auction, or was repossesed by bank, and green book is on the way... 

 

Ask to see the green book, if they have it, then it maybe other docs needed from the above to arrive for transfer... 

 

If all docs are there they usually do it quickly and can give it to you to do as well, but as usual Thais don't tell the real reason for what they do..., they think farang don't understand and we think they are the same ...!!! lol
