Tropicalevo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Just advertise it on the Facebook pages for your local area (in Thai). If there is anything salvageable on it, someone will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Cars usually go to auto junkyards and get striped down for parts before being sold for scrap metal, maybe Google "auto junkyard near me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QballQ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've always wanted to know where I can buy cars with blown engines here. I have always fancied a 1UZ transplanted into a pick up or Tuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l4ml4m Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 the problem is that you need to sell it officially or Thai will put it back on the road using your name... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 21 hours ago, 3NUMBAS said: they just keep em running up in issan ,never scrap em ,even when the floor is rotted out like fred flintstones car Yes indeed, the same over in Lanna where I lived. My local car insurance agent had his office inside a large vehicle repair workshop where I could watch unbelievable reconstruction work being performed with pulleys, mallets and welders torches, for example, straightening a "U" shaped chassis!! I was advised at that time never to buy a second hand car in Thailand unless you knew its complete history. Rebuilt write-offs were quite common, including a few with engines from other manufacturers (Toyota in Nissan, Honda in Toyota etc.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabbing sideways, limping, and all manner of other un-roadworthy smash defects lol ???? Not an advertisement for 'the greatest nation on earth' that's for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirelad Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 There are numerous breakers yards in Bang Na, I don't know where specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MadMuhammad Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 There are guys that will pick them up for you for small sums of money. In saying that I called 3 of them then got tired of waiting for them to confirm a pickup (weeks) so I ended up stripping it, cutting it up with a sawzall and scrapping it myself. From memory we got around 4K for the scrap. I had plans for the drive train but sold some of the parts for extra baht. An option if you have a semi popular/desirable car to wreck IMG_5615.MP4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the wrecks just left for years on the road command a price gone now, I don't know if it was sold or the local council took it away was sat there for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in Surat Thani. I purchased it from a Thai woman. As you can see I have Blue Book and some other papers but not in my name. I have left it with my Thai Friend and he has posted all docs and so forth. He has posted it on facebook for 28,000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
