pazienza

I can't be of any help OP, but good luck! In the UK the circuit pack variant can be had for around £33500 (~1.47m Baht), just goes to show the crazy price hikes in Thailand! Sounds like you've got your heart set on this car only, but I'd definitely consider an A45 AMG. I've got a 2017 C63 AMG back in London which I miss dearly, if only there was a way to bring it over to Thailand (except in a million pieces!)

I was in a similar situation when I bought mine (Seller in the South). Made them fly to Bangkok - if they wanted rid of the property then a 1500 baht flight shouldn't be a problem at all and would save a lot of headache with power of attorneys, etc.

Thank you all for the replies. I bit the bullet and just went for it and..... nothing happened! Went through various police stops but just waved through every time. Had to stop at Phitsanulok for a snooze though! The road from Phitsanulok to Singburi is currently half under construction and awful (very rough terrain single lane traffic) , so upon my return I may go the Phetchabun road although it might be even slower. Anyone gone that way? (Bangkok to Chiang Rai)

Just to weigh in and give my 2p as I have just collected one of the 7AT ones. Quality and ride seems a lot better compared to older Navara's I have driven (even with the stupid wheels I put on it!). I was also looking at the Revo Mid and Isuzu Hi-Landers, but bang for buck the Nissan came with more toys such as the 360 cam. My feelings may change once i get more miles under it, but I'd say it is worth considering. I wasn't a fan of the original look so I altered mine a little bit prior to collection (each to their own!)

Potentially a silly/pointless question, and I know it's not allowed - but I do often see red plated cars driving at night. Anyone had personal experience of ramifications if stopped by the police? Most Thais I speak to are either unaware of the law or tell me not to worry! I have picked up my new truck in Chiang Rai and have been given a little log book to fill in which allows me to leave the province, I'd like to drive to Bangkok but would prefer to drive at night just to get the long haul out of the way. Just weighing up to see if it's worth it or not(!)
