How To Buy A Car In Thailand

[mhaliqh]

Hello to all

I am Malaysian and would like to know how to purchase a car from Thailand.

What procedure do I have to take??? before buy

Seems my Place is attached to your country, do I need to go straight to cross the border???

Need your opinion from U alls

Thanks

Do you realise that buying from Thailand will mean you'll be paying high Thai taxes as well as high Malaysian taxes?

I'm struggling to think of a model on sale here that's not already on sale in MY - perhaps you want a > 2.5L pickup? Seems an awfully expensive way to own one..

but i see a lot of ppl in my places used to buy a car from thai..

without changing their plate no...

what i know they just go across the border every 6 month to renew road tax or something else what i didn't know

Well, if other people are doing it that way, maybe you can too Taking it back to TH every 6 months will most probably be because that's the maximum time it can spend in MY as a temporary import.

You are probably best discussing this with some Malaysians in the know so you can get an idea of what sort of problems, limits, and tea money might be involved.

The one possible caveat is that you cannot take a Thai car across a border unless it's fully paid for - so that rules out financing.
