Vehicle Sale Agreement, Thailand
The money is simple; the paperwork is where buyers get hurt. This bilingual agreement makes the registration book the center of the deal: the name must match the seller, the chassis number must match the book, outstanding finance is paid at the finance company counter, and the balance changes hands only against the book and signed transfer documents. It also fixes the trap nobody thinks about: fines and accident liability chase the name in the book until the transfer is registered.
