Buy a new car in Thailand ownership and finance

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Thinking about buying a new car and have been to a couple dealerships but have had different advice in both on buying.

 

The car I am thinking about is the new Mazda 2 hatchback 1.3 high pass. I can only afford to put down the 25% and the rest will come with finance. Currently there is a 0% finance.

 

I currently working in an international IT company so I have my driving license, work permit and salary slips.

 

1 dealer said I can get the finance with my current set of documents without any problem.

Another dealer said I will need to get a local Thai person to guarantee the finance and will also co-own the car (this would be difficult)

 

Does anyone have any idea about this?

 

 

 

 

 

Guarantor does not co own.

Do you know any Thai that will act as a guarantor?? 

I suspect both are correct. 

 

Although you are more likely to be approved financing with a Thai Guarantor.

 

It may be an option to apply for both types of finance (i.e. apply before placing any deposit) and chose the option you prefer. 

 

Note: A Guarantor does not own the car - the Finance company owns the car until full payments have been made. The Guarantor co-owns the dept and is responsible should you fall short. 

You will have problems to get the finance done without a thai involved.I tried to get the car in my own name with a finance but only some car-names would do that and ofcourse not the car I wanted.So we ended up putting it in my girlfriends name.Not my choice but the only chance for me to get the car I wanted.We asked in Mazda also but they said no finance for foreigners.Maybe it can work for you when you have a job and payslip from Thailand..Chevrolet have finance for foreigners.

 

Good luck

Nice to see that someone know everything.

Far from it, just correcting some incorrect information.

then use the dealer that says you can get it with your current paperwork!!!!

duhhhhhh

Before christmas i tried to buy a Mazda 2 with finance. Tried 2 dealerships and they just gave me the runaround and no deal. Bought a Mitsubishi.

Bought a new car with financing, first time I got a car financed in Thailand. 25% down and no guarantor required. Documents I gave were passport, work permit, certified income letter from HR and my driving license.
