  1. Thanks to everyone for their time and suggestions.After reading all posts it seems PASSAT cars good and nice to ride.I am surprised that no one recommended NISSAN here.

    I have discussed with few Thai people and read few more motor forum about PASSAT.

    They said it is good European car but expensive to fix it here in Thailand and it's hard to resale it also.One or two good garages only in Bangkok to fix it.Spare parts are too expensive also.One more thing is in Thailand Passat has lesser resale value than Nissan cars because the main buyers are Thai here and they prefer Nisaan.

    Few people advised to have for Nissan-Sunny-NEO but I am not sure about safety issues.I think they have no air bags.They said as you are buying car first time in Thailand and in case you don't like it Nissan car later you can easily resale it .I hope I got right information about resale value and garages in Thailand for Passat.I am going for test drive of Passat soon.One more question I have how to trust the meter of second hand cars here.Anyone can do cheating on meter reading and I need more advice about Nissan cars in Thailand.

    A friend of ours has a nissan sunny neo and has run it on lpg for many years with no issues. 1 baht / km. They would be about 400K or so now, and many have already had lpg installed. The honda brio and nissan march sell for 400-500K and would be good for city use.

    Nissan sunny Neo is good but I am not able to find the good one for test drive yet.

    I took test drive today for Chevrolet,Zafira 1.8 CD year 2000 and I liked it.That car tent is offering a price 335,000 ฿ .I think I need a mechanic to check before finalizing this one.What you guys think about this car, is it a good deal?Please let me know.I have taken test drive of Toyota cars also but as per the safety issues I like this one .

  3. Thanks for the reply.

    I am looking for mid size car with comfort and safety.My purpose is to drop kid to school and may be wife to office.But most important is go out of Bangkok on saturday-sunday or any long holiday. If I want small family car I would go for Nissan-March.Small,Good for parking not expensive but also not safe for highways.My wife recommend me V-40 Volvo as she want safety first. So you can say I am looking for mid size car which can fulfill my daily chores as well as fun and safe travel out of Bangkok.I am agree with your comments on toyota but toyota body is also not that safe as volvo v-40 1997.As I do not want to spend too much on car so I didn't check about BMW I thought BMW would be very expensive,I have to check the price for BMW.

  4. Hello

    I am looking for reliable second hand car in Thailand. I have read many posts regarding cars in Thailand and I am little confused to choose the best option.Some people suggest Volvo V-40 (european) is good but hard to find the parts at cheap price,have to import it from Europe.Someone suggest Nissan(Japanese) cars are better in Thailand . When I asked some Thai people they suggest Toyota only.As they told me for Japanese cars you can get parts easily and there are many workshops here which can fix the car at reasonable price.My priority is safety,average and easy maintainable.My budget is maximum 400k.I also want to know that what is the best way to check the second hand car before buying. There are agents who can help out or only way to check by yourself?

    Looking for advice from experienced people..

    Thanks in advance

    Jolly
