Nothing strange about getting rid of a vehicle that let me down twice, in dangerous conditions. Perhaps my sense of self-preservation is better than yours.

Wouldn't you be bettter to get rid of your service centre?

I'm retiring to Thailand soon and want to know where is the best place to sniff out some decent second hand QUALITY hi fi components. I'm a big fan of Cerwin Vega speakers and Marantz amps.

I am retiring to Thailand and will buy a used Mercedes Benz. Probably 2002 - 2008 model C Class. My query is will I be able to get class 1 insurance (fully comprehensive covering my car and the other car regardless of who is at fault). I believe Thai insurance companies are reticent to insure cars over 10 years old. Is this so?

The Benz I bought broke down in heavy traffic - twice.

The second time, it was because a Benz dealership had diagnosed the cause of the breakdown incorrectly. 

I could not get rid of the bloody thing quickly enough.

 

So you blamed the car for the technicians inablity to do his job? Strange logic.

From experience, I can say buying a used Benz is not a sensible decision.

Simple reason - servicing costs and spare parts are 3 times that of most other vehicles.

Buying a used Benz is a very sensible decision for me. I enjoy the inherent safety, the superiror engineering and engineered longevity. I do all the service myself.

• Can ownership be transferred? In Most Cases No as there is no Blue Book

May I enquire, what is a blue book?

I am looking to buy a used Benz as I will soon be retiring to Thailand. I noticed on Facebook Marketplace (first red flag) some very cheap 7-10 year old cars. A 3rd of the normal going price.

When I enquired about one vehicle and asked for the V.I.N. or plate number so I could do some due diligence on the car he refused and said I could see them when I picked the vehicle up. I asked why the vehicle was cheap and he said it was a PAWNED vehicle. It was a repossion from a finance company. He said all that was needed to "check the confiscated status and the confiscated status can be removed by hiring a deletion".

Obviously this all sounds very dodgy to say the least but I would love to know what these cars are and teir legal status.

• Are they repossesed?
• WIll the finance company come after you?
• Can ownership be transferred? 

If it's a head gasket or cracked head/block then it is a BIG problem. 

If it is an issue with an oil/water heat exchanger then not such a problem but it is a P.I.T.A. to get everthing clean again.

Did anyone get the UFiber NanoG working with 3BB Fibre? I would love to stick to all Ubiquiti Unifi stuff.

Looking for recommendations for high quality renovations to bathrooms (2) and a kitchen. Job is situated about 60 K's north of Korat.

Where is the best place to find a good C Class W203 (C200 or C180)?

• PTSD
• Got in with the wrong crow
• Had a drug problem.

These are just a few of the excuses being bandied about. But they are what they are - just excuses. This convicted rapist needs to be held responsible for his actions. Be it causing the girls death or at least just leaving her to die.

Trapped with 5000 screaming, rude, ignorant and peeing-on-the-floor chinese is what I imagine hell to resemble.
