Sell or Trade My Car

Not necessarily, but we’d recommend it to make sure one of our sales team members is available to assist you.

Should you decline to have the vehicle purchased at your first appointment, the offer will be valid for 7 days from the day of the evaluation.  Should this 7-day window expire before the car is purchased, Shift will need to re-quote and re-inspect the vehicle before purchase

Of course!  Begin the estimation process here.

We review current market conditions as well as your car’s specific year, make, model, sub-model, mileage, and vehicle history (if any). We examine your car’s condition inside and out for major defects like frame or flood damage. We also test drive your car and check to see if there are any obvious issues with power, braking, tire noise, suspension noises, amongst other things. If repairs are needed, we may adjust our offer accordingly. In regards to cleanliness, the long-term maintenance and care of your car is what’s most important in determining our appraisal offer.

Yes, offers for trade-in and selling outright are the same.

We will pay for the DLT transfer fees, though you will need to either provide us with a valid residency certificate or pay for our service to arrange getting you one in order that we can transfer it out of your name.

We can either give you cash or we can arrange to have the money deposited into your local Thai bank account.  If your branch is outside of Chiang Mai there will be an out of province deposit fee you are responsible for.

As long as we have the buying power at the time we can either give you cash or we can arrange to have the money deposited into your local Thai bank account.  If your branch is outside of Chiang Mai there will be an out of province deposit fee you are responsible for. You are responsible for arranging any international transfers if you want the money sent to outside of Thailand.

Basically just a passport and a valid residency certificate, which we can help arrange for you at our office if you have a TM-30 from immigration.
