December 11, 20187 yr Hi friends, I am leaving Chiang Mai soon to move to Vietnam so I need to let go of my dear bike. It is a Honda Wave 125i 2016. I bought it at big dealer shop (near Airport plaza) for 33,000baht with 6,000km. First I must say it was in an almost new conditions and I maintain it very well, no accidents whatsoever. I used it mainly to ride to work. During the 8 months of riding it, I even spent 5,000baht to add accessories to it so it looks really fancy, a good boy to go. In total, I paid 38,000baht for it. It comes with greenbook and tax paid for 2019. As I know, a new one costs 55,000 baht. I brought it to 2 rental shops and got offers for 20,000baht. I understand yes it depreciates overtime. But I found this to be so low ???? feel like being robbed. So I want to ask for your experience and opinion on selling motorbikes in Chiang Mai. And what is the fair price would be to sell my motorbike and where? I also heard that they offer lower price to farangs. Is it true? Appreciate your advice.
December 11, 20187 yr Popular Post Hardly being robbed. Whenever you sell anything to a re-seller, they have to leave their own headroom to make a profit. After all, that is what they are in business for. The trade off for you is that with little effort, you get a fairly decent price for a 33K investment that you have used for more than a year. Sell it privately and you might get around 25K, maybe a bit more but you will have to advertise, deal with callers, lowballers, people who want to take it for a ride and all the other annoyances of privately selling a vehicle. You can do it the easy way or the hard way: up to you.
December 11, 20187 yr Thai's love selling stuff on Facebook... Thus.. have a look on Facebook Market Place for Bangkok and search for similar bikes, you'll get a feel for the price... It looks like about 27-30k should be your asking price and accept about 25-27k https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/bangkok/search?query=honda wave 125i 2016&categoryID=vehicles&radiusKM=100&vertical=C2C

December 12, 20187 yr no mention of milage now, i would think between 25/30,000, the bling doesn't add value
December 12, 20187 yr 20k-25k baht, selling is hard here and could take a long time and hassle , buying is easier.. !
December 13, 20187 yr 20k seems a bit low, but it's convenient. I wouldn't want to lose days dealing with local tyre kickers for 5k Baht difference (if you're lucky). I'd take the 20k.
