Good question - went to one with cash in a briefcase...hoping to get a discount like in some countries. No, they want people to buy on hire-purchase. Also, noticed - and heard from others - that even when the motor shows were going on...some showrooms aound Bangkok had the same vehicles at a lower price,

Yep, finance 

If you got cash they don't want to know you 

 

I went to a Honda dealer (motorcycle) here in pattaya, not Mityon.

I wanted to buy a PCX160, much better price than Mityon but wouldn't sell for cash (not at a good price anyway) wanted me to finance.

I thought all the bike dealerships in Pattaya where Mityon ?

What was the interest rate on the finance ?  surely it wasn't 0%  or the dealer would have taken the cash,  I suspect a lot of the finance "deals" result in the buyer paying almost twice as much as the "recommended price"

Because they get a silent kick back from the finance company. Sometimes called a spotter fee.

There's a couple, the one I visited was on Sukhumvit corner Pattaya Nua, heading north 

They were asking 107,000 baht for the base model 

 

I didn't ask for the interest rate 

 

Over the many years the pricing for pcx has always been way above the listed Honda prices, Wave, click, Scoopy normal price at dealers.
