Nobody but the person listed in the Blue Book can sell the car. Period. Read it again.

Walk away.

You can buy the car from her if she has the permission of the persons name in the blue book with their signature on the line regarding their intent to sell said vehicle.

ALSO a signed copy of their Thai ID card and signed copy of their house registration both matching EXACTLY as it reads in the blue book.

They need to go with you to change the name and you should not pay the balance until you are certain the folks in the motor vehicle office confim the paperwork is in order.

Pretty simple. Don't release the money until the book is in your name.

Sorry to comment, but if it's a dealer, he will never transfer the car in your name, unless you gonna pay first. The dealer or the seller or even the owner have the same risk. Once the car is in your name, you don't have to pay him anymore, or he can't "push" you to pay. So you got it for 5'000 Baht. If you don't trust, go and get a lawyer and he make sure that all the document are in order, pay the seller and change it in your name by your self or let the lawyer do it for you. Of corse you have to pay for the lawyers cost.

Why can't he just make a written contract with the seller that he will get all the money back if the ownership can not be transferred to the buyer due to reasons that is not related to the buyer? I did that, but i don't know if it works because i didn't have any problems to transfer the ownership to the new name. :o
