Mine has, tested on the lawn all good.

So what are the difference between the R and ABS version then?

I am confused about the advertised pricing and dealer pricing.

is the advertised pricing inclusive of VAT?

For example, version R is advertised as 66,900 THB, should I decide upon finance with 35% down over 18 months, this equates to 81,699 THB - re: attached. 

All the dealer managed to blurt out,even to my Thai companion was 83,000. This included 2,000 for 2 years of lost/stolen "insurance"

This seemed odd as this would be covered in the class 2 insurance I would be taking out.

 

any tip/pointers would be most helpful.

Read somewhere that the R version also has ABS, true or false? 

You get what you pay for, this is a top range dashcam. About 4000 THB cheaper than in my home country. You dont get GPS in a 1000 Baht cam....

I have done some research myself about dashcams for my new car. And DOD seemes to be one of the best brands out there. 

I am considering this one: http://www.invadeit.co.th/product/dash-cams/dod/ls470w-full-hd-gps-dashcam-p027179/

Isuzu makes good engines. 400 km/day on average...seems like a delivery truck :)

Haha, yes. Some numbers here dont add up....No way a foreigner drive that much, ask your friend again @dagling (aperumpe) 

I swear that I will never buy a car in Thailand with gas. I dont care if it saves your running costs...

However, they also insisted that I had to wear LONG trousers.

 

 

 

Yes that is the norm when you go to some "goverment office" You find that strange?? That might explain the overprice they took for your licences....  

For those who are considering the CRF now, go for the Rally! Then no mods are needed...

Just completed a 1 week trip, 1650 km.  From my home outside of Korat to Khon Kaen for 1 night.  Went to American Embassy outreach next morning for Notary letter.  Then down to Pattaya for 2 nights to see a visiting friend.  Then to Chaiyaphum for 1 night.  Then on to Nong Khai for 2 nights.  Then home.  

 

Was great ride and very comfortable.  General road speed was 110 to 120 on the highways.

 

They put the turn signal switch on the bottom and the horn switch above that.  Just the opposite of my Honda Phantom.  This takes some getting used to.

 

Overall, quite happy with the bike and the ride.

 

How is the fuel consumption on this Rebel 300? How many Km did you normally get on one tank?

Why was the PCX a back buster? Did it still have the stupid little back rest lump in the middle of the seat? If os i would agree no good. But by removing that and leveling the seat with extra foam i found that it is the most comfortable bike i have ever ridden.

 

Pattaya to Nong Khai in a day, with just a slight shoulder ache. But any bike needs to be comfortable for long trips.

No that lump in the seat was removed when the PCX had a facelift a few years ago....

I have one, good bang for the buck in my opinion. Good quality and easy to remove washable inner liner.

No....

What do you do with your old cars then? Trade it in when buying a new one, or sell it yourself? 

@properperson Why did you not go for the ABS model?

Geir: There are several expat rider groups on Facebook. Try to look them up.

Hmm, yes a 4 liter can and they charged him twice....

If your friend did not have a licence from his home country, then yes it might be necessary to book an appointment.

Wow, your truck needs 9 liters of engine oil? That's twice for the vehicles I've used.

Everytime you get a service, the service advisor will go through with you the list and the price for each before it's approved and signed by you. There are no surprises. If you didn't like the price of a certain job, simply refuse it. Your work order is still considered pretty honest compared to the crap "recommendations" I've been offered each time at the stealerships. I always take the Job Order list and take the pen and cross out anything I don't need done, then the technician goes back and reprints the job order and comes back until it's a Job Order I am pleased with and I know exactly how much I would be paying. I bring my own oil and usually only pay for oil filter, gasket. The air filters are a 5 second job, why bother complaining about the cost. Buy one, pop them in. I rarely pay over 1k each time for warranty required maintenance schedules. Yes, they hate me. =)

You have to read that bill one more time, for me it looks like 5 liters of oil....

First date is the issue date for the first licence....

10 years, never heard anyone gotten that. Can you please post a photo of your new licence?

Just another example of why I will never own or drive a vehicle in Thailand. Bad enough being a passenger. I have the luxury of being in Bangkok, so taxis and motocy are abundant. I realize those in further out places, and with families to transport, have a much more difficult situation and often need to have a vehicle. Good luck to those who must drive...

LOL, why are you on this forum?

Mitsubishi has Diamond Second Hand outlets.

Nissan also has certified second hand outlets and so does Isuzu.

Isuzu sertified second hand outlets have a name?
