impulse Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Out of curiosity, when a car is listed at 1 million baht, what's the total, including tax, title, license, dealer prop, delivery, loan origination fees, etc. (Leave out loan interest, just the origination fees) I used 1 million to keep the math simple...

Hoping to pick up an atto 3 cheap on the secondhand market, A bit risky considering that electronic components start failing after a year, But for sure it seems to be buyers market. However, I would wait. The new NetaX is selling at 740k and it seems to beat Atto3 in just about every department. I expect even more price cuts especially if Chinese cars start popping up everywhere like Thai coffee shops.

Popular Post phetphet Posted September 30 Popular Post Share Posted September 30 Too many people fell for the "electric cars are greener" mumbo jumbo. They are not. They have just moved the polluting point from the engine to the battery. As a result of the rapid growth of electric cars, there is now a time bomb on the horizon of what to do with old battery packs. Only a small percentage are currently recycled, and many of these are from car accidents where the batteries are damaged and the car manufacturers don't want to use them. . Others are reused or repurposed. But what happens to the ones that are broken down? I saw a video that stated that currently over 95% of old batteries from electric vehicles end up in landfill. Not so "green" when you take that into account if true. 3 1 1 1 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted September 30 Popular Post Share Posted September 30 No regrets from me, as if keeping the ICEV for 2 more years, it would have depreciated a lot more, and now, not be worth much, since an ICEV with 80k kms on it. Matter of fact, probably wouldn't sell it for what anyone would offer. Just keep as a spare, after buying the BEV pick up next year. Did get a decent market price for it, 2 yrs ago. Along with 2 yrs of driving a more comfy, better performing car, for 240k off the MSRP, along with 2 years savings from buying petrol. Unless O&A, charged with excess solar, so basically free, more than half our kms driven locally, within 250 kms R/T. Which got us out of the house quite a bit ... priceless in itself. That's a few 100 thousand baht saved, and offsets the newer pricing, some what. I never worry about, could have, should have, would have, as prefer to live in the now. If I want something, I just buy it, cost is irrelevant. For those in the market, and not budget restricted, next year should be great for new options to pick from. Maybe wait for those car shows at end of this year, start of next. Or now, for some really nice bargains, while supplies last 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomazbodner Posted September 30 Popular Post Share Posted September 30 (edited) I'm quite happy that prices are dropping so hopefully these loud pickups leaving a mile of black smoke behind will one day be a thing of the past. Now seeing a nearly silent bus or car driving past is a good thing, at least in the city, and I hope this continues. Though only part of the price drop is increase in production and with that lowering prices of components, especially battery cost which in past 3 years dropped about 70%, the other part are government subsidies. And those who bought BYD cars before price drop - you got free charging for a year or 2, so while you paid more, you're now driving around for free. Interesting was the article (in non-English news) about NEO car... Apparently it allows the whole battery kit to be removed and replaced with another within 3 minutes. You can buy a car with or without battery - with a latter option is to lease battery. Kind of like Coway water filter or air cleaner - you pay monthly rent on battery which NEO would replace if anything goes wrong, and it's 20k EUR cheaper purchase price that way. It is an expensive car at 90k EUR in Germany, though. But just that part - of replacing the whole 150 kWh battery pack within 3 minutes sounds interesting. That's the main beef some posters have with electric cars... Edited September 30 by tomazbodner 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's before you account for the fact that most electricity that charges EV comes from fossil fuels, so you're not really significantly helping pollution either. The only way it might be greener is if you have a solar/wind/etc charger and used it instead of the grid - which owners don't do. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became difficult to start, lots of smoke and we finally burnt out the engine by failing to keep an eye on coolant level. Add 58,000 for engine repair. Respray also. Keeping hold of it as sure it'll become a classic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
