Best Place to Buy a Used MB in Pattaya Area

[Thailaw]

I am looking for a late-model used motorbike for my daughter, 160cc or less. There used to be a good shop on Pattaya Tai next to the Mityon repair shop, but it is closed now. Any recommendations for a shop with a good selection and reasonable prices would be very much appreciated. If you have something in good condition that you want to sell at a reasonable price for a quick cash sale, please let me know (PM me). Thanks a lot, TL

FB Marketplace should have some with low prices.  Probably by my first source for MB shopping

Just in general, what about motorcycles where people are not able to pay the monthly leasing/finance anymore?

I guess those will be returned and sold again. And probably for a much better price than new.

I don't know if they would be on sale in the bike shops or the finance company or who handles this.

Pj's trading on the dark side. Lots of the dealings with the lady who runs it. She buys at repo auctions and resells. Apparently she has sold out to a falang so be extra careful.

A Thai man with excellent English language has a Second hand Motorbike sales shop  on  Third Road  very close to the Pattaya Klang Junction, I have bought many Bikes from him over several Years ...

Travelling down Klang towards the Beach   from Sukhumvit rd.   turn Left  onto Third Rd, his shop is  a few meters past the very first 7/11  on the left hand side,   u can see many bikes out the front, his shop is easily  missed

Thanks. 90% of the cars and bikes on FB market place are fake. I'll look again, but it appears to me to be a waste of time. Baht/Sold seems to be a better source that FB, and they have nothing reasonably priced.

Thanks. I would love to get contact/access information for the car and motorbike repo auctions.

I was looking at this recently. Lots of repos at present but a lot of pitfalls. Many of the vehicles are in poor condition. Some or many repos are snatched back and may not have green/blue book. Transfer of registration/ownership could be a hassle.

 

Motto Auctions seem good and have best website in English. The websites of the other auctions not so good.

How many did you contact ?

 

Just peeked and changed my marketplace location to Patts (20 kms) and more than a few to choose from.  

 

Since for your daughter, have you considered electric, no maintenance worries.  Also can buy new, as Deco make has a few models, with 1000w motors, LFP battery, starting price ฿28,640 - ฿30,640

Would definitely be my choice.  Take a peek outside the box, may surprise you.
