papa al Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 It will be a little easier if buying from a farang. You need to find an agent up north. Then prolly another in Phuket. It will be an adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Not enough details. He got the bike on finance? But is it fully paid now? In case it's not, Will you pay in cash or want to continue the financing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 if the finance is paid out it can still take weeks before the book is transferred from bank to owner.... how long can you wait to ride it to Phuket ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Thanks Guys I will pay cash for the bike, its not fully paid yet, I wanna ride down to Phuket same day Done it a few times before, but only when the owner had green book, easy transfer plate and bike IF you get the Green Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get the book from the bank there and then ...but it won't be in your name it will still be in his name and now fully paid for !!!...so then you both go to the "up north" Department of land transportation" to try and change the name in the book to yours and they ask you for your "up north" address...and then ?????

If the owner still has to pay to the finance company, better leave it and buy a bike that's paid off. You save a lot of time, money and hazzle.

Plus he could claim that his bike got stolen and the OP would be in deep shi_e. Never buy a bike if it's not in the seller's name. I went through that and needed six months of hard work. A bloke ripped me off, but I can be more than happy that it wasn't stolen. I had the book, but needed the signed ( after printed out) copy of the former owner's ID, who turned out to be a Thai woman who now lives in the US of A. Many thanks to the Irish gentleman up in Nakhon P. Should anybody see an add where somebody's trying to sell a bike with the book, but the owner's not in Thailand, forget about it and go on with your life.

hithere Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Guys read all the input, he is going to pay the rest to the bank, then he will get the book in his name, then i will buy the bike, i have bought around 11 bikes over the last 18 years (owners name in green book) but my first time when the bike is on finance, i told him no deal before he got the green book....

For the same reason have I added an extra high beamer on its own circuit. Should the "normal light" not function for whatever reason, I've got my high beamer as well. Better more lights than none.
