Car Buying & Sales FAQs

Sorry we cannot offer this service at this time as most of our vehicles do not have a current collision insurance policy until the buyer pays for a year policy after the sale.

Yes. We are your one-stop shop! If we can’t take care of it we will find someone who can. Our repair garage and service department is not only set up to prepare our vehicles for sale but also to be able to provide ongoing assistance for our clients automotive needs.

Since all of our cars have undergone a thorough inspection we have been able to categorize them into our car classification/grading system.

Platinum and Gold classifications have had all repairs completed. For the Silver and Bronze categories, you can ask our sales staff if there are any items that have not been done.

Our policy is full disclosure of everything we have been able to find out.  You can read more about our inspection, renewal process, and classification system here.

In many cases yes.  This will depend on the car’s condition and our current inventory and buying capacity. If we can’t buy it from you though we do have other services to help you sell your car such as our consignment service.

Yes this is also possible for serious buyers within a reasonable distance from our office. If it's not convenient for you to come into our shop and you are interested in several vehicles you may want to schedule a live video walkaround of a few cars with one of our sales team members before scheduling the in person viewing at your house of one car.

Yes!  We offer virtual test drives, live video walk-arounds on and off a lift, more detailed pictures, etc.  Whatever you may need for your peace of mind.

 

Transport to many cities is possible on a multi-car trailer (This method would require you to pick up the car from a particular location). Alternatively transport to your house can be arranged on an individual car trailer, but this costs about 3-4 times as much. More details and FAQs here.

 

The ownership transfer into your name still has to happen locally in your city after you pick up the car though because the residency certificate for the buyer must be in the province where they are registering the vehicle.   Depending on where you are we may be able to work with an agent to assist you with this.

 

Other services we could offer our out of province clients:

- Collision Insurance policy

- 24 hour roadside assistance policy

- Car accessories pre-delivery to Bangkok.

Expat’s Autos standard warranty terms are generally only valid for claims at our office in Chiang Mai.  

 

For our Platinum Certified class cars we can make an exception to provide the 1 month full coverage remotely as long as prior approval for a repair has been requested.  Expat Auto still reserves the right to have the owner take the car to a garage of our choice for warranty claims.

 

Expat Auto’s Limited warranty will not be provided on any cars.  As long as the car is not older than 10 years old we suggest to purchase a third-party mechanical insurance through us that can cover many of your car’s components anywhere in Thailand at the main dealer.  See more details about this coverage here.
