Popular Post AndyAndyAndy Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 What car do you drive in Thailand? Just last week I bought my first car (ever), Toyota Hilux Vigo 2015. Diesel, manual, 110 000 Km for 430 000 Baht. I'm quiet happy with it so far. What about others? 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crossy Posted April 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 Ancient Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 which we bought new, now it's the "go and get the building materials" car. This was the first car I had ever bought new. Isuzu Mu-X 3.0 4x4 again bought new, now 3 years old. General use car, used to go to work when we're not locked down. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyBlue Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Honda City ZX 2008 - might look for a bargain soon - think I will get something bigger - but not that big. Where is best place to look for private used cars - not a dealer/trader (dont trust ever).

Some people don't live in an Urban Jungle and actually need/use the 4x4 of their vehicle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work vehicle gets used in 4x4 mode regularly during the wet season, construction sites tend to get muddy. Most definitely not a Chelsea Tractor. Do you really need a pickup? 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Auctions (depending on where you live)......... 4 years ago, I picked up a 7 month old car---The owner must have started defaulting payments the day he got it. Why I say depending on your location---they don't Auction cars taken from that location , for obvious reasons. .

I'm living in a small village with a lot of dirt roads. But so far I didn't see one, that would need 4x4 even in rain season. But for construction sites with heavy machines it makes sense. Yeah, I need pick up. In first 14 days I already did a 1000+ trip fully loaded and with 5 people... . Also handy for my german shepherd dog which loves water and especially buffalo mud pools... . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
