Documents, Payments And Trial Second Hand Car

[alyx]

Hey

I am interested in the purchase of "vintage" car (1989) planning to check it out some time tomorrow. Of course, the garage doesn't garantee anything once the purchase is done, if done.

I wonder how sales go

1) I am not allowed to drive the car...but will be a passenger for the essay ( fair enough I guess as I might decide to flee?)

2) The garage will do all necessary paperwork but when do I have to pay the vehicle? Once the papers are in my name or/and give some deposit beforehand? Which guarantees do I get if the transaction doesn't go through?

3) I would have to pay for the inherent taxes and the plates. Do you any idea about how much that would amount to, knowing that the price is roughly 600.000 baht?

Thanks

With respect I think you are maybe struggling with translation, go along to your local DLT office ( department of land & transport) and ask them what you need to do, no worries,

As I said, I am going to see the vehicle on Sunday...

As for struggling with translation....do you mean that my questions are not clear ? Which parts? Thanks

Go to your local DLT office and ask what you have to do, I refer to my post a few moments ago.

Ah, ok

Then, would it be too much asking you to refrain from posting on my thread as your answer was quite unhelpful

No offence meant

alyx. You rascal. got the money from TPC already, without telling anyone ?

1. Ofcourse you should be able to take the car for a testdrive on your own. Just leave a copy of your passport with the seller.

2. Get a cashiers check and pay at the DLT office, when the blue book in your name is in your hand.

3. By doing the deal at the DLT office, you make sure that all backtaxes are paid. Cost for the ownerchange 1000-1200. Plus another 1000 if you need to change the numberplates.

Good luck !

Hey Soi 41

Keeping my fingers crossed (actually I would have gone for the a new one rather than a second hand (*~*))

Thank you so much for the precise and concise answer

Just out of curiousity what car from 1989 has a pricetag of 600k ? I only ask because it is in my line of business.

Porsche 928

But I did not go for it as the guy was a bit too rigid...

If you have something along this line maybe you could let me know...

[soi41]

600k for a 928, that was a good price. What about a Maserati Ghibli 1995, twin turbo in the same pricebracket. A car to love and hate, many summers ago I had a 430 biturbo, and when everything was working, there was no better car, BUT when something was wrong, it was a major headache, expensive parts and mechanics who knew nothing about the brand. If you are interested I can direct you to the webpage, where it is for sale. I have no financial interest in this whatsoever, just doing you a favor.

I appreciate

Maserati...yes but I would be looking at a quadroporte and it is certainly not in that range

Agreed for the 928 but it sounded more like a lottery with this car and I am not the lucky type when it comes to game

[soi41]

Check www.one2car.com , two 928's both under 600k. I do in more simple cars=Willys Jeeps, at the moment I've 6 for sale, but I guess you want something a little more sophisticated. If I find something, I'll pm you.

Thanks

These are the ones

The cleaner/cheaper one has a Toyota engine and the second one is the one I saw: apa from not being able to drive it myself, it seemed that the miles were quite high....even for a Porsche. Let alone I would have had the robe completely redone

But thanks again for taking the time
