Hi, has anybody out there sold or bought a car privately? I would like to know what procedures and docs are required. Any help would be appreciated.

 to buy and sell a car as i did last week i had to make 2 residents letters from immigration one for buying and one for selling. my insurance broker who i insured it with done the rest of the paper work for me with the car i bought.

all very simple. good luck

Normally the person you are selling or buying from knows all the details....or an agent can be employed.

Just be very careful who you're dealing with. 

OK thanks to all

The blue book is very important.

That goes without saying 

The main hurdle might be this official/government form in Thai language that has to be filled and signed by both seller and buyer.

As far as I remember the signatures would have to be witnessed at the DLT office.

So both would have to be present.

 

I don't how other ways work ("notarizing" signatures and copies of documents?).

I think it's possible at the district offices (amphoe)?

 

These hurdles save the agents job

 

Of course both parties have to proof their identity and address.

For a Thai person as simple as showing the ID card.

Having the vehicle registration book (blue book) is a matter of course.
