Been driving a Mazda MX-5 for 5 years and no real trouble. If the maintenance with the dealer is duly recorded it should say something.

My car in America.  Love it.  Reliable, easy to maintain and so fun to drive.

 

Bought new in 2008.  Still running like new.

 

 

Unfortunately they cost about two and a half times as much in Thailand compared to America

A junk comment from a man that knows nothing about EVs.

 

What pos are you driving, so we can all add it to the list of what not to buy.

 

S Class Benz.

 

You'll have to add it to your list of what not to buy because you can't afford it. 🙂

That's really great. I think it's fantastic that there are Western females posting on Thai based web boards.

Used by old, fat gay men to pick up their tricks.

Thought you'd sold it already....

 

Oh I see it's still for sale, but you're right I can't afford it

its an Annual LPG safety check

I think this is because there is a tendency to develop leaks.  So a yearly inspection might catch them.

Just start off by avoiding anything except for Toyota and Honda and go from there.

And consider Isuzu for a strong, reliable pick up truck.

In recent visits in Europe, I was surprised in seeing a few Audi's and VW's parked aside the highways due to some kind of breakdown. Also saw a few BMW's but less.

 

Keep in mind that the so called great brands of Germany are rarely assembled in Germany. They use many 2nd or 3rd grade countries in eastern europe to assemble the cars. Also have in mind that your Audi or similar has more then half of it's components, Made in  (Guess where)....China!!

 

All this to say., imagine Thailand in that case. I'd go only for either a Japanese or Chinese now. Nothing else for sure and definately not anything American or even from the EU.

Actually in France and Switzerland, driving a black Benz makes one look like an Uber driver as most of the Ubers in Europe are now Benz's...

There is nothing wrong with LPG, provided it is properly installed in engines with hardened valve seats. IME such engines will last just as long as one fueled by gasoline.

 

CNG is a different matter. Cylinder head temperatures approach 600 C. In addition, 25,000 psi storage pressure means the vehicle has to cart around another 100 kg of steel tank, and said tank has to be pressure tested every year before registering. IMO any cost saving is offset by the above factors.

 

 

LPG doesn't need hardened valve seats for grocery shopping or the odd trip to Bangkok.  If you have a pickup and intend on hauling heavy loads you will need them.

I would have said any car owned by a Thai knowing how much they care about maintenance and servicing.

I'd buy one from my Thai mechanic any day of the week. He's meticulous.

Is English your first language? 

 

Your reference to "No Brainer"  were you referring to Chinese EVs not having a brain or was it a self-introduction?  If it was the later it's nothing to shout about (All caps is considered shouting)

 

Making sweeping statements about cars that you have never owned doesn't seem like a very brainy thing to do.

Flood damaged.

I remember a Bangkok Post article a number of years ago about shady dealers who buy flood cars from insurance companies for salvage value, then clean  and recondition them. They alter the documents and sell them either online or at weekend car flea markets in the countryside.

The MX5  is that the small sports version of Mazda?  My 2013 Toyota Hilux 2.4 Litre runs on LPG perfectly but now its an Annual LPG safety check which is a pain though I can understand the necessity.  The range is poor on a full LPG tank 300kms however.

I believe there is also an "Expiration Date" for LPG tanks.  A friend had an older car with an LPG conversion. Her last inspection she was told that the tank was approaching 10 years old and would have to be completely replaced before it could pass the next inspection.

There are videos from US floods on youtube giving the things to look for to spot if it is a flood damaged car - dealers transported them across the country to non flood areas to sell them - less suspicion of flood damage.

I actually got burned by a flood car once. Back in the late 1980s, I bought a 3 year old Chevy Astro Van pretty cheap off a used car lot.  

Lots of problems from the start.  When winter came and I tried to use the heater, hardly any warm air came out. Friend suggested checking the air ducts.  About 5 lbs of dead leaves and sticks were packed inside each duct...obviously  from a flood.  Once we knew it and started looking, found debris wedged everywhere.  I had other Astro vans so eventually just used it for parts.
