Car Transfer Fee

[Burl Ives]

Sold the old car today and wanted to know how they charge the transfer fee. Asked the official and he reluctantly explained that they charge 0.5% of the car's value as sold.

Sounds reasonable until you realize my car's value was about 300,000 (as stated on the insurance certificate), but he wrote it down as 400,000, so a nice 500THB backhander for him, hence no printed or stated fees on the web site!

T.I.T!

[IMHO]

The insured value is not the market value. Insurers only cover 50-80% of the market value of your car.

Market value 320,000, just sold it!

???

Are you writing about the fee for transfer of ownership in the Blue Book at the Department of Land Transport?

-> 105 Baht.

% of value? You have been fooled I guess.
