I Guess less than 10k for just the bumper. Are the lights ok?

Why is that...?
It's very common for car makers to sell one generation of the cars for 6-8 years with one or two mid life facelifts. Normally they keep the chassis and engines same but make changes to bumpers and exterior lights to make the car look "new" again after 3 years since launch. If I'm not mistaken, the previous Tuna had at least 3 major facelifts, basically same body for over 10 years, one of the longest Toyota model sold. -
Expect some minor cosmetic change which we call face-lifts, Japanese makers always do after 3 or 4 years after fresh release. Hope they don't keep this model for more than 10 yrs like the previous model.

Driving here requires extra attention because anything is possible. The Corolla is lucky, if the pickup was a truck, I bet it would be much worse.
-
The new boxes are well worth it because s912 boxes normally cost more than 2k baht. Octa cores might be overkill but 2gb ram makes big difference because AIS launcher is quite memory consuming. I barely had more than 100MB of free Ram when using the older one with 1GB of RAM.

I wonder if you have tried Honda HR-V? I believe it's in your budget and more reliable than Fords...
-
These crimes are pretty common at neighboring Malaysia so I'm surprised people here thinks it's safe to keep valuables in car.
-
Should be other way round. Someone in higher position and salary should be doing a favor, not asking for it.
-
Quite common for people here to do this. Poor judgment from the driver for not checking before changing lanes.
-
Audits should be done randomly without prior notification. Else it's waste of time and resources because everyone prepares for the special day and back to normal after that.

Toyota is not even in my mind. As stated in a earlier post, I testdrove the Accord, and I didn't like the way it was handling the road (light steering). On the other side, the backseat could be folded down, but only 100%. Not split or 60/40. So very unpractical. And if you want all the bells and whistles, you have to go top model hybrid, which have even less space in the back and cant fold the backseat down.
I am looking into a car more practical than my Volvo S60 (I can fold the seats 60/40 now) and that handles almost as well on the road. And in that regard, I think the coming CX5 tick all my boxes so far....
Mazda makes great driver car but Cx5 rear legroom is too small for me. I wished they would introduce cx9 here but it will cost more than 2mil baht. -
Gary, a VERY interesting message. It is obvious that you are very knowledgeable in this respect. Unfortunately, I am not. I could never buy the necessary equipment and put it together by myself. I did not even know that there is such a thing as a DEEP CYCLE battery or an AUTOMATIC battery charger. Therefore, please allow me to ask:
1. I presume you live in/near Bangkok but do you know whether all of these items are available in Chiangmai?
2. If not, I will go to Bangkok. Where to buy them?
3. Where should I try to find a knowledgeable electrical professional (engineer?) here? All we have here are the little boys with a screwdriver/tester. They call themselves "electrician" but they know nothing. Do you think one of the local universities could point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your courtesy.
You can try looking for these in Lazada. -
You can check your 2nd box if it comes with newer S905x or S912 cpu with 2GB of Ram. The box I got end of last year was older one with S812 Cpu with 1gb of Ram. Performance was pretty sluggish due to AIS launcher. I recommend using Cpuz or AIDA64 app.

All condos must be owned 51% by Thais so most living in Bangkok earn decent income.

Can I take it there in person? I'd rather go there than the post office! Thanks for the quick reply...
Yes you can submit in person but you still need to wait 2 weeks. They will send back the disk to you by courier. -
Isn't it the ground clearance that gives you the higher seating position?
Nope it's the seat height. Placing a SUV and sedan side by side and you will understand what I mean. You get extra 20-30cm of seat height for 10cm of ground clearance difference. -
If you use a good power supply most probably you need to replace the power supply or charger. Other parts should be fine.
-
If I'm not mistaken, you can create an online RMA and ship it to their collection center in Pantip Plaza. Then they will ship back replacement unit to you. Usually it takes about 2 weeks.
-
It seems like you are paying a premium for that couple of inches of extra height. I preferred the older small SUV's like the Suzuki Rav4 and the Vitara.
I don't care much about ground clearance, seating position and comfort are more important for me. I find these SUVs are even more confortable than big saloons due to confortable seat height. Also ride with SUVs are more confortable due to the bigger wheels. Rav4 is comparable to crv but Toyota don't sell here. -
For me it's the ride height and easy of going in and coming out. I'm 1.8m and I find these just nice to get in and out and the seating height is just comfortable. Pickup SUVs are little to high for me. Interior space wise, I find crv have comparable space to a big saloon like camry
and accord. I've tried the latest everest and Fortuner and don't find them much more spacious then crv. The extra 2 seats at the back are not conformable at all.

Go for AIS their coverage should be better countrywide.

Why don't you negotiate to pay the bill directly?

You cant park in your condo?
