Hope this can fit under "everything else". Seeking advice for selling via installments. I have posted my motorbike for selling on the marketplace, and today somebody approached me and asked if I accepted payment via installments. 4000 baht upfront, and the rest via weekly payments. Would you recommend this or he can just take the bike and disappear? Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The majority of responses advise against accepting payment in installments for selling a motorbike in Thailand. Concerns center around the high likelihood of non-payment or the buyer disappearing after taking possession of the bike. Many commenters suggest that selling outright for cash is a safer option, emphasizing trust issues associated with installment agreements. Some respondents mention the importance of holding onto the motorcycle until full payment is received, while a few suggest possible strategies, like requiring a security deposit, but these too were met with skepticism. Overall, the consensus leans strongly against installment payment plans.
