"Close enough" for your narrative, yes, but it wasn't two years old when he bought it...if it was, he would have responded to those who asked him the date he bought it.

The OP does not need to worry about defamation, thinking the Mazda a going to sue a customer that for complaining about perceived quality issues is silly. 

 

If the OP squeaks direct to Mazda they will likely make it right. He won't get a new vehicle but they might clean up his wheels and give him an undercoat of some-such.

 

In any evert, there does not seem to be anything to really worry about. 

 

 

 

Mazda wont acknowledge the warranty claim. They say more or less it is our own fault

Thanks for all the good and helpful comments. I will let you know the outcome of talks to Mazda

Did they tell you it was a used ride when you bought it....?

No, absolutely not. Paid the full price exactly

I have now found out that the car is produced in january 2021 and was used as a show room car. Must be the reason for the corrosion. The car looked fine outside and inside and unfortunately I did not look underneath as I assumed it was a new car. The odometer showed 89 km.

What book..?

There is a book following the plates to show to the police in case

Looks like the lacquer on the wheels is breaking down and allowing the alloy to corrode.  Common on much older cars, and ones that have been driven regularly through seawater. On older cars you just remove the lacquer and polish the wheels.  Unusual on a new car though.

 

I see in the news that nine owners of defective Mazda 2's had to complain to the Consumer Protection department, and eventually Mazda were forced to pay compensation and recall all effected models.  Looks like you may have to make a formal complaint?

 

I think I will. Thank you for your reply

I reckon it's been in a fire, the metal has been damaged, it's fatigued.

 

The car looks fine on the outside, only the hidden iron underneath

What does the blue book say about owners, you may not be the first one, or it was flood damaged and parked up, probably trying to find someone to buy it....

I still have red plates, and that book does not say anything about t6his car, the details have not been filled in

Show us pictures?  Maybe a flood car?  Maybe it's normal looking underside.

The OP has had the vehicle for 3 months, it may be months older though.

 

 

It was produced sometime in 2021 according to VIN number.

Corrosion of steel and aluminium would not occur on a 3-month old car, unless it has been driven in a severe marine environment. I doubt the car is new, its age can be verified with the VIN.

As for what to do, this is Thailand. Buyer beware.

Minor surface corrosion is common on full chassis vehicles so nothing new there on the BT-50.

Mazda will not change the chassis under warranty, nor will any other manufacturer.

There is also corrosion on the alu wheels

Is there some information missing from your post. You say that you bought the car new, and it is now only 3 months old. As far as I know, all Mazda cars come with a 3 year warranty from new, so I don’t understand why you have problem.

Mazda dealer won't recognice the warranty claim. He says it is my own fault and due to the way the car is driven, even though it has only been driven at larger roads

Hi

I was so lucky I got the kor ror 22 without certification of the marriage certificate at the embassy /Mfa. 

My question is then, will the Immigration Office require the marriage certificate to be verified by embassy and Mfa or are they okay with a translated Marriage Certificate. 

Thank you for all the very good replies????

I would like to change my visa to extension based on marriage instead of based on retirement. Is that possible. Do I need to apply 30 days before the old visa expire. 

Thanks all for the advice and comments. A great help.

No problem

Hi

I have an extension based on Retirement. I was planning to change to Extension based on Marriage. Is that possible directly without a new Non Immigrant O.  

I am married with my thai wife abroad. I think I need Letter of Evidence regarding the marriage certificate from my Embassy. Do I also need Kor Ror 2 from local Ampur.

Thanks in advance.

What has changed. Before one would get a 3 month permit to stay upon re entering Thailand with a nearly expired Non Immigrant O
