Motorbike Purchase

[night_rider]

I am in Thoeng just south of Chiang Rai. I’m looking to purchase a scooter for getting around. We’ve been looking at PCX

 

Shops in town have PCX around 72000. That was a bit high for me. At that price I’d just buy new. 
 

On a trip to Khon Kaen years ago I was surprised how cheap good second hand bikes were. That’s not been the case here

 

It has me thinking of taking the bus up to Chiang Rai to shop and I’m looking for recommendations for second hand shops

I have pcx before

i sold after 2 years with 10.000 km

and I get 40.000 Thai baht

because the weel are small

I understand is a new model

but I sold for the old scooter Honda 

sh 150 cc.

Cannot comparate

but for know must to drive both.

with Pcx if I arrive hight speed in a sharp

sametimes happen expecially with the sand in the street o oil o the rain I must to put one leg in the street or I will follow down.

I am in Chiang rai

if you want one scooter second hand honda 52.400 km sh 150 cc.

Honda shop give to me 12.000 Thai baht

but for this money I not give.

if you give to me 20.000 Thai baht I will sell

but is not a problem because is fantastic

i am here not for make business 

but just for you understand price of second hand.

When farang have motorbike take care change oil weel and everythink and you know what you buy.

If you want drive for free one day and make a trip on the mountain you will understand the difference if you know pcx,if you never drive pcx is another story....

But is samething I do also in the past to buy one scooter or motorbike because I like but drive is different

i buy one Vespa and I sell after 1 year for 60.000 Thai baht and 2000 km

or I can continue ........ with other model.

Night-rider Siriweith's offer sound like a very good deal. Papa Al has praised the SH i50 version before as being a solid scooter. and with the test ride offer and price sounds to me like you couldn't go wrong.

Still looking for a scooter in Chiang Rai province. I'll be in Meung Chiang Rai next week for an Immigration run. If anyone knows of good shops or markets for second hand bikes it would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you
