night_rider Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siriweith Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) 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.

Randell Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) 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.

If anyone knows of good shops or markets for second hand bikes it would be much appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
