teacherofwoe Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Firstly, apologies if this has been covered in a previous thread. I went to my local Toyota dealer yesterday to enquire about a Vios. As I was putting down at least B200,000 I didn't need anyone to guarantee the finance. Great! Not quite. He said that as I was a farang I couldn't register the car in my name until it had been paid for in full. Has anyone bought a new car on finance and registered it in their name right from the off?

scifi Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yes; needed my wife to act as guarantor. (At Toyota, end of 2007.) They also took a copy of my work permit, not sure if that is mandatory. My name is in the registration book, but I don't get the book until the finance is paid off.

skippybangkok Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 not sure about farang or all. The car remains in the Finance companies name until you have paid all the $$. upon completion, can transfer to ur name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody else has confirmed what you've said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 He said "farang mai dai". I usually leg it out of the shop pretty fast when the conversation is limited to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
