1FinickyOne Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I should be in the market soon for a new car... I see that prices in USA are skyrocketing - - and yet, prices here do not seem too far off what they were 10 years ago, last time I bought... opinions? will prices rise here soon too? should I buy now?

itsari Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Price of new cars are what they are . However the depreciation is far less than the US or Europe if you buy right . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 If the newest models (2022) are out, why not buy now. Unless looking at an EV, then waiting 6 months or so may be worth it, as news-blips of less taxes, maybe incentives, at worse, a few new models to chose from. MG & GWM seem to be the front runners for EVs, full or hybrids at the moment, unless going high end. Also offer ICEs. What are you actually looking for ? Inexpensive entry level sedans, small, from ฿330k (Suzuki Celerio) and up to about ฿600k +/- for larger entry model sedans & small mini vans, 'made in Thailand' models. Most < ฿700k, unless top end model of, with more added option than most need. Then imports start at ฿700k and up, larger engines, better fitted out, and soundproofing / less road noise for out & abouts. Then a bit comfier SUVs, smaller to larger, in the ฿700k to 1 mill range and up for the larger 7 psgr models. if actually needing / wanting that much vehicle. Larger usually imports and price accordingly. Plenty of practical trucks out there, if having the need. Made in Thailand models keep the pricing down for them, with imports adding quite a bit at times. Some worth the extra, some not. This site gives a ballpark idea of specs & pricing, and can compare models before making the rounds to the dealers. Find it always best to shop specs first, and they are usually fairly accurate on the website. Cross reference anything that catches your eye with dealer sites & reviews. https://www.zigwheels.co.th/en/compare-cars Happy Shopping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigwheels was a great site but appears to have stopped updating. GWM cars are not mentioned, neither is the Toyota Cross which must have been out for at 18 months now. Unless I am looking in the wrong place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
