Huayrat Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Salesman is telling me indeed a Blue Book which I not allowed to be on so how can I buy this car.. Surely this can't be the same everywhere or is it.. Hopefully I've found a salesman who knows little.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneyboy Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I purchased a car on a visa exemption with a 150,000 deposit and the aid of two Thai guarantors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 YOu mean the car blue book? If you have salary slips or some way yo show income, the car can be in your name . 200k may not be high enough without a guarantor. One my first loan on a civic i put down 50 percent with no need for a guarantor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You need proof of address for the registration. Can be house book, work permit or certificate from immigration or embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huayrat Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 You need proof of address for the registration. Can be house book, work permit or certificate from immigration or embassy. 200000 baht + Guarantor and he says my name needs to be on the blue book.. Is this the same at every Honda Dealership? So if I get a letter stating that I live at this Address and I'm not on the blue book you think that will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 As a Foreigner you can not be in the Blue House book. Thai only. Some Amphur will allow you to have a Yellow house book with your name in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me - and the salesman insisted on something that is not possible, I would shop elsewhere. If he - I assume it is a he - is Thai - another assumption - and does not know that Foreigner can not be in a Blue House book, what else is he not sure of ? Again - assuming there is not a translation issue here and he says house book but means the foreigner equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisH Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 i think the op is talking about the house book. i agree with DavisH maybe a larger deposit will be needed. Oh the house book. Was thinking it's the blue book for the car. I'm pretty sure I was not on our house book when I purchased the honda. The house is / was / will always be in the wife's name But I still got the car in my name based on the deposit and pay slips. I'm sure there's other ways to prove address. I seem to recall using my work permit, but forgot now as it was 12 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said all I need is passport, work permit and Bank statements and pension letter showing my pension.. Have to put Atleast 300000 Baht down as Deposit and will be OK..

Was asked for it today, but the Thai person with me explained to the salesman that foreigners aren't allowed on a house registration. He said he didn't know because he'd never sold a car to a foreigner before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Op: You can get yourself into a Yellow Book (the same equivalent as the Blue Book but for foreigners) - I'm not sure of how useful that will be to you though, when all you really need to show is a Work Permit or Affirmation of Residence. I've had discussions with garages before who suggested I put my car in my Wife's as I don't have a work permit. After double checking the Sales Person confirmed that I could register the car in my name with an 'Affirmation of Address' from my Consulate. What will also work as proof of address: - Work Permit - Yellow Book (Same as blue book but for foreigners) - Proof of Address from Thai Immigration (only possible after a 90 day report).

DepDavid Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I shopped Buriram at 2 Toyota dealers, Ford, and Chevrolet. I got the same answer... put it in your wife's name and no problem. Without a work permit they will not finance, period. I have a yellow book, made no difference, if in my name no finance.

Jeffrey346 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Your knocking your head against a brick wall. I can show more income than most Thais, have a yellow book but still can not finance a car or anything else as I do not have a work permit. Thai salespeople are like puppets. They are told no work permit no loans.. So pay cash or get a guarantor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
