I'm looking to buy a new Aerox and have visited some local shops in and around Pattaya. I suspect like many things in Pattaya the prices are higher because it is farang land. Anybody find a good retailer out of town? Perhaps Lam Chabang or Bang Saray?

 

Please no casual replies, only those experienced in buying a new motorbike in the area. Thank you.

Watchara on occasion does a good deal.

 

Other than that, only Honda in Bowin, Yamaha prices higher outside town.

 

But then the question is, if you were to save 2000 baht (because thats about what it is) is it worth all the hassle?

Thanks, OK. Yea I have seen some price differences here and there usually, like you say 2k THB. thanks, I'll check out Watchara Marine

Hmm, Looks like Watchara has some bad reviews on Google. Bad followup service. Maybe it's better just to stick with Mitiyan etc..

Mityon has a fair share of bad reviews and experiences.  I have bought from Watchara before and yes, had to go back a few times, because sales forgot this or that and then had to wait for book twice as long.BUT as they say, you get what you pay for and hence why earlier i said if its really worth the hassle over 2000 baht.

 

On the bright side, if you get a good deal at Watchara, you do not need to service it there, you can take it to any Yamaha dealer if its warranty work

 

One thing to note about Watchara, hardly any English at all.

Buy from a main dealer.
