Need a second hand car for Thai citizen for 140000 baht

[Neole]

Hello,

 

I need to buy a second hand car for a Thai citizen for a budget within 140000. Car needs to have proper paperwork obviously.

 

Is it possible to get a decent car in this budget? Where should I look?

Look at Thai s/h cars ads on the net.

Moving to the Motoring forum.

Significant point to consider: Who pays for the repairs?

 

A car worth 140,000 baht is more than likely going to require a great deal of maintenance to keep it running. 

 

There are plenty available for this price, it would take a good mechanic to check them out with any degree of confidence. 

 

Lots of Cars on this website.

Sticking to a very common vehicle with a ready supply of cheap spares would be ideal - Toyota would be the obvious go to choice.

Try a honda city/jazz or toyota vios. They will be early models but they are easy to service and get parts for.

Agree, a Toyota Vios with about 100-120 K on the odometer could be in that price range.

The OP should try to find one being sold by a Westerner, IMO many Asians do not understand the relationship between regular maintenance and longevity.

Would it be too an impertinent question to ask, is said "Thai Citizen" everso slightly  financially disadvantaged?

Ah good then. I shall let you have my late 2019 AMG C class Mercedes for 140,000Bt.  Due to seeing the error of my ways thanks to all these jolly nice chaps here on the forum.  Please feel free to PM me.

Perhaps said Thai Citizen does not feel the need to impress friends and neighbors with their possessions.

It's for a mother in a farm (Nakhon Sawan) who just drives around locally. It would be a replacement for a motorbike.

Distaceful as it is, only a cheap sarcastic dig at a few on here. Alcohol and boredom induced, sorry no excuse. I'd need a lot more money to ever justify MB prices here.  

Seriously I do know of a very nice clean Farang owned Honda City (or Jazz  not sure) 1 owner it's a 2009, quite near to you, up in Khon Kaen, a friend mines wife's be around 180-200,000Bht though?!?

For that sort of money I suppose means an oldish ride. The most reliable ride mechanically, I reckon, is a Toyota.

i know where to go and buy a s/h motor !!!!

[cornishcarlos]

This is probably a great time to buy a 2nd hand motor.. Unfortunate as it is, people are selling due to severe lack of funds !!

You might get a Vios or Jazz but at that price it will be old and in bad shape. 250k minimum for something in reasonable condition I would say.

Mazda , Suzuki, or Nissan maybe but more likely a manual trans at that price point... Auto will be more expensive generally.

100% correct Cornish. 

 

I have friend in phuket, business broken, want to sell 40 van. 

Nobody want. Not sell one.

 

Many camry now other guys want to sell. They can not pay the loan. Because no customer. Some is 1-2 old. Half the price can not sell. Nobody want.

 

if wait 2 more month, there be SO many sell, nobody buy sure. 

 

Cornish win Yinn POTY “Smart Foreigner Today Award” 

 

Congratulations Cornish!

Yinn,  i read that Ranong has the most rain in Thailand.   Is it really so much rain that not

enjoyable to live there?

 

oh,  agree about Ford.     i not think new Ford cost only 140 k  baht

 

serious question about rain.  off topic i know.    

 

on topic:   my vote for toyota vios.   i have had two and they are trouble free.   have mechanic check out the car before you buy.    If can buy from first owner that is best

Brand loyalty... Marketing... 

Mechanical longevity is only as good as electronic longevity these days.

Most common brands are as reliable as each other.
