retarius Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 8 million views of an Audi A4. I expect it might be expensive in Thailand because of the import taxes, but in the states it is the cheapest Audi you can buy. And I wouldn't think it was so marvellous 8 million people would want to view it. 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 In Europe all Mercs and Audi are favorites of the Uber drivers or the local neighbourhood friendly drug peddlars. No more prestige in having such a brand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not say about the reliability of the brand but the servicing, or lack of, unless it is an old modal with the simpler petrol engine. The Audis and Merks built over the past 15 years are full of chips and need the proper servicing that go with them, which a lot of Thais cannot afford. Parts which will probably have to be imported, ouch. Your Somchie spanner man at the end of the Soi could not do a proper service on them no diagnostic equipment. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I am a bit more "surprised" and in real admiration on seing luxury cars parked in the staff reserved parkings of major police stations or the door steps of cop mansions all over the country. Considering the toil of the farmers, can we consider that can be a deserved treat...or not ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted October 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2023 Can this thread be removed? It's fake news as evidence by the cited Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/variety_farmer/ This is clearly not a Thai man, contrary to what is stated in the article. Thaiger is not a news site but an organisation that dishonesty uses AI to paraphrase articles published by genuine news organisations. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercede's and Audi's among others downfall, was when they started to build cheaply with plastic components , instead of better life long lasting materials. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
