rambling Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 My 2c are that the age of the production line is more important than the location. New production lines will always have some kinks to iron out for a while. Even with strict quality control, they will improve with time and there will be more experienced people on the line. That applies to both the assembly and production of any locally sourced items. For a brand/model which has been built or assembled in Thailand for years I see no issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month I sat into a Thailand assembled X5 and...the steering wheel was on the right side! I mean dude, one also pays 70% on top of taxes and duties for these poorly assembled cars? Definitely not worth it. Better buy a Proton. there is no 70% tax on a car assembled in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a guy at The hash once very proud of his German built BMW. We had to set him straight it was built by Turkish gastarbeiters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no deal Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 i get a big discount that why i get delivery i suppose to get a new 2020 car not a 2019,i told the dealer when i order i do not want a model 2019! my civic was sold all ready,my wife was so happy and so sad when i start that,so i take the car ,when i order the car i try to get a discount, i can not , just get free staff,but everything change after i check the VIN number of the car before taking delivery! my new car is probably 3/4 month old and all ready and loose value,i ask 200.000tb discount, but i get less, i am happy now, everything ok! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Thai friend bought his Merc ML, I asked why Merc, his answer that it was stronger and better than a Japanese car because the steel flexes more on the bodywork of the Japanese car, ergo the Merc is safer. Perhaps he was right, but his preconceptions were flawed and based on dated opinions. Is there really any difference in where a car is manufactured these days? I'm not so sure. A Mercedes ML is almost guaranteed to be better than any Japanese car in the same class. I owned one until recently and it was a superb car. Having said that nobody produces bad cars anymore. I also owned a Renault Laguna and it was better in some ways than the spectacular VW Touareg 10 cylinder monster I had. Love Renault, Citroen look even better. I'm now driving a Japanese car and amazed how good that car is. Even a Kia Stinger has a German putting it together. I heard even the British Range Rover, previously notorious for shoddy workmanship is now a half way decent car. Whilst everyone today makes very good cards, I'd still choose the German made Mercedes any day of the week, even if it is assembled by a Turkish or Afghan Gastarbeiter using a robot, for the simple reason that they will be supervised and quality controlled by a German system. I would trust Thai or any other systems considerably less. Edited April 23, 2020 by Logosone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW’s are also assembled in the UK, Austria, China, USA etc etc etc.... The ‘local content quality’ is just a Thai bash - A UK, US, China, Thai made model of the same car would be indistinguishable* *Thats an assumption - we’d need to line up the same model from different factories (different countries) and drive them for a few years to actually see if there is any difference. ... said the guy proudly driving a mazda tin box ! hahahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
