Spellforce Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I would like to replace my old Honda PCX 150. I did a search and apparently the new 2021 PCX are 160cc. Honda advertised the ABS model at 91,900 Bahts: ... but I called Mythion (Pattaya Tai, corner 3rd road) and they told me that this model is for sale at 107,000 Bahts... 15,000 bahts more than the official retail price ? What such a difference of price ? Where could I find that model with a good price ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Mityon owns all the shops in Patts. Bowin Honda shop better maybe. Edited November 24, 2021 by papa al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows what shop has the best deals in Bangkok ? Call the big guys. When I bought mine in 2018 I went to a lot of dealers. The one with the best price was the largest. And their customer service has been great. Bought my CRF from them also. In CNX Edited November 24, 2021 by seedy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellforce Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 It looks like they raised the prices for 2 reasons: - the new 160cc models are new (less than 2-3 months) and will replace the old 150cc models = the pride to ride the last new model - Honda has some problems of production (electonic componants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fab5BKK Posted November 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Almost 6 years ago, when I bought my scooter I had to deal with the same problem. I was hesitating between a Yamaha Nmax and a Honda PCX. With Yamaha, it was straightforward. The dealers I visited in the West part of Bangkok were using the official retail price (published on Yamaha TH web site) and offered some goodies (helmet, jacket, etc.). On the other hand, with Honda it was another story! First, I had to call Honda customer center to get the "official price". In order to get the price I had to use my senior contacts on LinkedIn. Then, the dealers I visited, in the same area, typically offered 3 main answers: 1. Trying to sell me a previous-year bike 2. Refusing to sell me a PCX without a finance deal 3. Selling me the current PCX and charging at least 15% more than the "official price". Obviously, YMMV, this is what I had to deal with! Result # 1: I bought a Yamaha Nmax and I'm happy with it! Result # 2: I'll think twice before buying a scooter from Honda (despite the good quality of their products) Edited November 24, 2021 by Fab5BKK 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brick Top Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Today I checked at Honda in Phuket , the price as shown in the photo was 93,500 includes the registration fee ect . Not much good if you live in Pattaya but thought I would add it as a reference . Edited November 25, 2021 by Brick Top Add a 2nd image 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The quote your getting is the base or lowest priced model. You could call a few other dealers including ones in Bangkok. I doubt you'll find much variation in prices. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the website below for years and pcx models always differ hugely. Click, wave, Scoopy same price as dealer, not pcx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chongalulu Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Certainly in Europe official dealers are not permitted by the manufacture to charge over list price to take advantage of shortages etc. I would have thought that would be a global policy.Perhaps contact Honda Thailand to clarify and draw to their attention? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the very first gen 150cc PCX from them because the Pattaya dealers wanted about 5-7000 baht above the sticker price but ACM sold it at sticker price. They even delivered the scooter to my house in Pattaya for free. I still have the scooter by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP24 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 You guys are lucky, having the option to buy one from your local showroom just by either financing it there or by paying a bit of a premium over MSRP. Here in the U.S. I'd have to drive to another state to find either a Yamaha or Honda new in stock for the 150cc models. The 125s are only slightly more available. On the other hand there are lots of Taiwanese scooters to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
