Scam Expats Motors in Thailand

After being notified by some of our readers about a topic on the Thaivisaforum.com and the Pattayadailynews.com forum we decided to write something about it.
The problem is that Expat Motors have been selling cars and not giving the owners the blue book to finalize the deal. They blame a seller that they bought many of the cars from saying he did not give them any blue book. Expat Motors have bought very cheap cars and since they are a car dealer should have known that various scams going on in Thailand with cars. The Expat Motors did nothing to check up if the car was fully paid but just sold it to customers making a hefty profit. Expat motors have according to the forum been selling these kinds of cars to many people but only 10 customers have got problems. Since they do not have the blue book of the car they will always have problem when dealing with government officials and trying to sell the car.
Expat motors have themselves told the customers in the various forums that they do not have any money to buy back the car but still they continue to do business as usual. The owner has apparently left for the UK to take care of his other business but says he still does not have any money to buy back the cars.

My advice to the customers would be sue Expat Motor for fraud and ask for the money back in court before they go bankrupt. I would not recommend anyone to buy or sell any cars to Expat motors at the moment since they say they do not have any money. That they coming out and blaming someone else give them no kudos in my corner it just a smoke screen to keep these customers quiet. The old car seller has nothing to do with the deal between the new customers and Expat Motors.

This statement is from the Expat Motors:

This is Tim from Expat Motors; I would like to clarify some of the points raised in this thread. Many of the comments are going off topic and facts are becoming lost in speculation and opinion.
3-4 years ago we realized that we had a problem with a supplier, he became greedy, and this problem arose. From the moment we knew there was an issue we used alternative suppliers and started to find a solution. After it became clear that mediation was going nowhere we opted for the legal route. As soon as we were aware that this unfortunate situation could not be easily resolved easily we notified all involved. As many of you will know the Thai legal system is very slow. It is highly frustrating for all involved but there isn’t any way we can speed up this process. There is an alternative that we will be discussing with anyone involved which may offer a more speedy resolution.
Some of the issues I would like to raise as they would seem to be lost in the majority of this thread are:
Some of the people involved have sought independent legal advice on our recommendation. Their representatives have been in contact with our lawyers and they are happy with the way the case is progressing.
We have been forthcoming with information and assistance to the individuals involved and their legal representatives.
We have not shirked our responsibilities. We are fighting this case through the proper channels; it would be detrimental to our case to make any out of court arrangements for individual cars.
We have continued to supply new and used cars to a large number of very happy customers and would not let ourselves fall foul of rapacious criminals again.
It is equally frustrating for us as it is for the individuals who still do not have their legal registrations. Our goals are the same, a resolution to this problem that has hung around our necks for far too long already.

Thaivisa.com has chosen not to take away Expat Motors as a sponsor of the forum and I found that pretty strange since they can refuse anyone. They also closed the thread discussing this issue.
