The process

Here is how our car buying service works

Navigate the complex auction landscape with our seasoned professionals. As registered dealer auction participants with a wealth of experience, we can access, assess, and acquire vehicles on your behalf, saving you time and ensuring you get the best value for your money.

1. Auction Schedule & Car List: Multiple auctions take place each week. We receive a list of upcoming cars for auction five days before the set auction date.

2. Vehicle Information: Two days prior to the auction, we gain access to complete vehicle information, including inspection grade, specifications, and photographs. We focus only on certain grades where cars have no mechanical or cosmetic damage.

3. Inspection Videos & Starting Bids: A day before the auction, we receive a short video clip of the car engine running and the starting bids are posted.

4. Deposit & Participation: To participate in the auction, a deposit of 40,000 baht is required. If a bid is won but the purchase is cancelled or full payment is not made, the deposit will be seized by the auction.

5. Auction Location & Delivery: Most auctions occur in Bangkok. Delivering the car to another province incurs a transportation fee ranging from 5,000 - 12,000 baht, depending on the destination and auction location.

6. Payment Schedule: The day of the auction, 20% of the winning total bid plus 7% VAT is due. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction. Failure to pay in time results in a daily storage charge.

7. Car Release: The car can only be released or delivered when full payment has been made.

8. Ownership Transfer: Cars are usually bank repossessions. Banks take 2 - 6 weeks to process ownership transfer documentation. If the car is paid in full, it can be delivered and used while waiting for the title book and transfer documentation.

9. Fees: The auction has a flat fee of 10,000 baht per car. Standard charges a flat fee of 5,000 baht for facilitating the process and risking our registration with the auction.

10. Customer Involvement: Customers specify a car model and their budget. We monitor the auctions for matching cars and propose potential purchases. Once agreed upon, a contract is drafted and a deposit of 40,000 baht is made at one of our offices. Customers must provide the necessary ownership transfer documents at this stage.

11. Transparency & Billing: Customers receive invoices issued by the auctions, giving complete transparency about the total cost of the car. We charge a flat rate to ensure you know exactly what the car costs. Additional charges like the auction fee, transportation fee, and our facilitation fee are billed separately with 7% VAT added to all charges.

12. Delivery: Depending on the auction location, transportation can take anywhere from 5-10 days after full payment has been received.

Frequently
asked questions

Our service begins with you selecting your desired car model and setting a budget. After a deposit is made, we scan upcoming auctions for cars that meet your criteria. Once a suitable vehicle is found, we provide you with the details and estimated bid for approval. If successful at the auction, we handle payment, paperwork, and delivery of the car to your preferred location.

A 40,000 baht deposit is required to initiate the auction sourcing process. This deposit is used towards the auction bid and is fully refundable if we don’t win the bid for your chosen car or if you decide not to proceed with the purchase after the auction.

Yes, you can use the car immediately after purchase. However, the transfer of ownership from banks may take between 2 to 6 weeks. We manage all the paperwork involved in the ownership transfer to ensure a smooth process for you.

Apart from the auction bid, additional fees include a 7% VAT on the bid amount, a transport fee (varying based on the destination), our flat service fee, and a transfer fee for ownership change. These costs will be detailed in the final sales agreement, ensuring transparency throughout the process.

We strive to find a car that perfectly matches your preferences and budget. However, if you're not satisfied with the options available or if we can't find a suitable car within an agreed timeframe, we offer a money-back guarantee on your deposit, demonstrating our commitment to customer satisfaction and confidence in our service.
