Hi! I have come into a bit of an issue as a foreigner here.
I came here for studies and with all of the excitement of a new country I rushed into doing a lot of things, one of them being buying a motorbike even though I’ve never driven one before. My friends just kept convincing me I needed one so bad and that I needed to buy the coolest one so here I am now with an R15M Yamaha that I’ve barely touched the past year.
Stupid decision, I know.
I am now in need of selling it as I might possibly be moving out of the country in a few months and I wanted to ask if anyone knew what the best way to do it would be? It is basically a brand new bike with under 700 km on it, but because I’m a foreigner I’ve had people offer me prices like 30k baht which is just…not good. I’m trying to get the usual market value for a second hand one which is between 90-100k I’m just not sure where I should make my offers. I tried the dealership that sold it to me and that’s where they offered me 30k ‘because they don’t buy from foreigners usually’. She sold it to me brand new for 140k a year ago so I don’t think the price has dropped THAT much.
I just need the money from this bike so I can pay my tuition at the other university I’d be hopefully transferring to if all goes well.
My family has told me to either sell this bike or scrap it to make sure it’ll no longer be in my name and therefore no issues will arise one day out of it. So this is my second question. If I wanted to do that, where could I bring my bike to get scrapped, would I get any money from it (even if it’s a small amount) and where could I get a document from to prove that this bike is no longer under my name?
I know the situation and my questions might seem stupid, I just turned an adult when I came into this country and have honestly been struggling a bit to figure my way out in life, I currently have no proper support system in this country as all my family and friends are back home, so this is why I came on here. I hope the internet will be kind and help me out, but I understand again I’ve put myself in this situation due to poor decisions.
