  1. For me just the process to buy second hand pushes me to only buy new. I do not like to look for problems.

    2MB you can get a brand new BM or Merc, so I would not take the risk. Better buy smaller but new.

    By the way I just found on ebay the $50 devices that are used to lower mileage with 3 clicks ????

     

    Sorry, not what you were asking, but related ????

    wish you good luck

    You may loose the warranty (if the car still has one), if you don’t have the car serviced at an authorized garage. In Thailand all official MB workshops are connected to a central MB data base, where they can see if the car has been regularly and properly serviced by an authorized workshop. 

     

    The official garage also has a computer to check if the engine, exhaust and electronic systems are functioning properly, and if needed they will recommend preventive maintenance. Non-authorized garages may not have that.

     

    If I spend that much money on a good car, I can and will also spend the money needed to have it properly serviced.

     

    The exception to that is the replacement batteries for the key fob. MB once charged me 1,500 Baht for a set of two, but at 7-11 I can buy the exact same batteries for 35 Baht a piece. However, at 7-11 the package does not have the same prestigious brand logo as it has from the MB workshop ????

     

    what is unbearable is the wait and queue, so annoying to even have to plan with an appointment.

    only forced to use them when car is still under warranty, then happy to escape if possible, each bill his half of what it is at MB

    now all good garages have MB computer and software, cf Bangna thomson

    In the UK the vast majority of Insurance Policies are ‘named driver(s)’ only. 

     

    If anyone else wishes to drive the car an additional premium is required. 
     

    Or, an ‘any driver’ policy is a lot more expensive such that the cost is prohibitive. 
     

    It is of course against the law to drive. Vehicle while uninsured & if driving a car which is covered under a ‘named driver’ policy and you are not one of those named drivers, you are indeed breaking the law. 

     

    Just as as I said, it's CLEARLY NOT AGAINST LAW to drive somebody else car, just as anywhere in the world, if you drive it, you must be insured, but there is of course NOWHERE IN THE WORLD (except maybe North Korea?) where you can drive someone else car if you are not insured.

    So ridiculous to even think that it's possible.

    And no, multi drivers insurances is not so expensive except if you are really poor, but then you should not own a car.

    yep, only the person who has the name on the car register can drive. if the police catches you they call the owner to the spot and ask the owner to take the car. And they give a ticket to you. This is for safety reasons. Imagine someone is driving your car and involved into a hit and run.. who the police will first come? And how can you prove that you were not driving the car. 

     

    so if what you say is true, the rest of the world where anybody can drive any car is wrong ? don't you feel ridiculous ?!

    what are you on? too much yaa bha?

    dude, in my country only the person whose name on the registration of the car can drive. If you drive someone else's car you must pay fee and police park at the spot they caught you till the owner of the car comes. its a law. I do believe this is also kind of same law in the UK too.  which part of this BS and why all my post is idiotic? I think everyone sees whos the BSer here, troll and idiotic.. 

     

     

    Please send link ? I traveled and used people cars all over the world, but never heard about such law which for sure doesn't exist in UK. Knowing how people understand nothing on this forum I wouldn't be surprised that you are wrong. It seems so ridiculous.

  6. it's so funny how people are convinced that experimental vaccines moderna and pfizer are better...

    i know nothing just as you, but that the dead virus vaccine are an old "process" that clearly works since hundred years, but any mARM vaccine is new and nobody know the future... But maybe you have enough with your wife or GF ?!

    Certainly not leaving. Government in Siam/Thailand has always been similar to this. Best time in my opinion was in the 80s under the Prem administration, and that was effectively a military government.  Life here now is still good as far as I'm concerned. I'm not much effected by whatever kind of government is in power.

     

    The only truth ! But maybe you are not as weak as many of the old men here ? I haven't seen you cry for a vaccine ?

    I still like it here no plans to go.

    I am surprised you did not post a thread like this sooner considering your historical posts expressing your disdain and hatred for the place.

    You asked so my suggestion is to sell everything and leave as soon as you can.  Why stay in a place with all those negative feelings building up doesn't seem worth it maybe try to find greener pastures.

     

    Correct ! then he will have a chance to visit the forum to complain about his krap life in the west and how much he misses Thailand !

    Those people living a playmobil life are so funny !
