DeSantis Pushes Back on Climate Change’s Role in Stronger Storms

[Pattaya57]

I'm looking at buying the Honda ADV 160 quoted at 99,900 baht or the Honda PCX 160 quoted at 94,500 baht (Pattaya prices). I think they said rego was around 2100-2200 not sure. I look online and these prices seem pretty standard.

 

How negotiable are Thailand dealers? I know I can just go offer and see but I'd prefer to be more knowledgeable beforehand.

 

Example, for the ADV would they take 100k with rego, or PCX for 96k with rego? Or could I get the 1100 baht rack included for free?

 

Thanks for any advice

There is not much negotiation  you either take their offer or not  they (mostly) don't give discounts for cash  as they make much more profit  from the finance options  offered to Thais, they may throw in a crappy helmet and jacket if you are lucky  and depending if its a BMW or Ducati 😋

If you want a good discount then look towards privately sold second hand 

or even  second hand "finance returns" at the dealership  they often have low mileage and a bit of a discount.

Sadly it's Pattaya, they won't budge, you'll get a free plastic helmet. 

 

I've heard of lower prices elsewhere but is it worth the bother. 

 

A couple of guys have bought from this dealer, saved a couple of grand.

Thanks guys, I sort of got that feeling that prices were fixed as all dealers I went to had same price.

 

I will try for a free 1100 baht rack if I agree to also buy the 3000 baht lockable bag that goes with it. You can only ask. Better than a free plastic Helmet  😀

There's a mityon cartel in Pattaya, if you want lower prices you have to shop outside, Asia City Motors in Bowin (331) is where i bought mine, talk to them on messenger or Line, then once agreed price, go pick up when ready

I agree with that, every Pattaya dealer is a Mityon, Bowin is the place to go, not too far so you don't spend the discount on traveling costs

Can I ask how big a discount did you get over Pattaya?
