Looking for a Suzuki Caribian

[SLOWHAND225]

I'll be in Thailand in 4 weeks, I'll be looking for a Suzuki Caribian to buy. Budget is 10K
What web sites are good for finding used cars for sale in Thailand ? FB market place is full of repair and repaints, that doesn't scare me but I'd rather not.  

[Ralf001]

is the 10k a typo ?

[SLOWHAND225]

Not at all.
I didn't say I wanted a new one and I don't. Didn't think I needed to explain myself further than what I did. 
I take it you don't have any suggestions on where to look.

You're looking to buy in Thailand and 10K THB is only a few hundred USD, EUR, GBP or AUD which are probably the "home" currencies for most on here.  Something doesn't seem right.

Maybe OP forgot to add 'tires' to the thread title ...

My apologies, never thought anyone would actually think 10K THB when talking about buying a vehicle. lol

Hows this for clarity, 10K USD.

Let me help as you don't appear to be too sharp.

 

Approx. 330,000 THB

Not sure why you need to be snotty but apparently math is hard for you. Blame your parents, not me.
Is there a rule that says we can't post in our home currency ? If so, my bad. Hows 328K THB work for you

Nothing on FB Marketplace interest you, as 300k buys more than a few decent choices.  Although most are 20+ years old.  For a wee bit more, you could buy a new car.

 

This one is loaded up and ready for camping

 

 

This one, lower specs buy almost half price

Thank you. Both of those are repaints and sold already.
I should have said this earlier but got a little off track, I'd probably prefer one thats closer to stock that hadn't been re done.

Who opening this thread knows where you're from or what your home currency is?

Glad we got there in the end.  Your maths is quite close too.

You're comparing a car to a scooter ?

Apples & oranges come to mind.

 

He can probably drive across soft sand better, than if having a scooter.

 

Park right up on the edge of the surf, during 'out going' tide.  

Won't mentions staying dry when it rains, or a quick nap without the worry of getting bit by a snake.

A scooter? 

 

[KhunLA]

scooter = 2 wheeled in my world.  I called all mine scooters ...

 

900cc

750cc

3000w

125cc

 

Even my buddy called his 'hog' a scooter 😎

A 500cc, definitely a scooter 

Little heavy for  dirt bike, unless just competing on a circuit.

Uh, this has an 8.5:1 transfer case.

So clearly you've never been in one, no worries. MSG me and I'll take you out. They are so much fun off road and very, very capable.

The offer is real and open to anyone.

I've been building off road rigs my whole life, happy to be in a place where I can still wheel.

That was a beast in its day and still must be awesome now.
Front wheel on those is usually in the air.
Not sure about scooter but some people don't have a clue.

I had a suki sj4 in Hawaii, amazing little truck. It could climb the steepest trails, it had more guts than I was willing to take.
