Legal requirements for buying a New Car

Thinking about buying a new car from Toyota, remember the last car we bought we had to go to immigration to do some paperwork, that was 15 years ago. Anyone bought a new car lately from a dealer and what is the process?

Best Gas BBQ

Hi I'm looking for a good well made gas BBQ, I have had a couple of Charbroil models in the past but after a few years the grills erode and can't get replacements. Believe there is a Thai company that makes them.
Any information will be appreciated
