If you don't want the hassle of selling it, see what they'll give you for it, and then ask your friends if any of them want it for the same money. I did this twice at Isuzu. First time after I got the offer from the guy at Isuzu for the old unit, I posted it at the plant for the same price and one of the guys bought it. The second time I did the same thing, but no one wanted it, so I sold it to the Isuzu guy. Easy-peasy. People buying for re-sale have to make money. Sure, I could have gotten more selling it myself but did not want to mess with it. I've had four Isuzu pick-ups and loved them all. I do not think there is a better value in Thailand.

I had a Cityboy (the high one) on a Toyota Tiger about 20 years ago. I do not recall it being noisy, nor did I have any trouble getting into parking garages all over Bangkok. BUT, it was a standard height pickup, not Highlander or some-such. In any event, I think most of the garages are built to accommodate vans. They look lowered than they really are. The extra height was nice, but the paint all cracked and peeled off the roof of mine, and the bolt holes on the back lift-gate wallowed out and had to be replaced with through-bolts. Door locking became an issue and the struts had to be replaced a couple times. To be fair, it was worked hard and parked in the Sun. I think whether or not the paint peels depends on the painter, not the manufacturer. All that said, the next three I had were all low-profile steel Sammitrs and I had no issues with them (but the struts) and thought the build quality was better. Also worked hard and parked in the Sun but suffered not paint issues at all. If the Cityboy is in good shape and the price is right, go for it.

I am going to replace my existing vented clothes dryer with a new one, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the heat-pump dryers? I know they use less energy, but the big attraction for me is that it would not have to vent to the outside, and the laundry room would be cooler.

I plan to mail my US passport for renewal after I do my 90-day report this week. After I get my new passport, will I need any documentation to transfer my extension of stay at Immigration? If so, will the consulate automatically provide whatever form I need to transfer my extension of stay at immigration? Anyone know how long mail-in renewals are currently taking? Thanks
