If one wants to purchase a second hand vehicle(not a motorbike),forget about what it costs,once it's bought what would you consider the best vehicle to have in Thailand for availability and costs of parts,how quickly can you get the parts,work repairs and knowledge of the vehicle by Thai mechanics,time it takes for repairs to be done,cost of insurance,in otherwords lets make in easy for them to keep me on the road.What would you say?Truck?Car?Suv?What make?What model?What years?

Well for starters, I would probably look at one of the makes and models that was produced here in Thailand, for example I have noticed the servicing is cheaper on the Toyota than the Mazda.

You are asking a pretty wide type of question, don't you car what at least style of car here you want to drive?

I haven't driven anything but BMW's since 1988 the newest one I owned was a 2003 745IL which I left in the states due to the import tariff. Here I settled for a 1986 316i I favor the 3 series in the city and preferably the models built in Germany between 1985 and 1991, I find they can take any kind of punishment you can dish out. I paid 90,000B for my BMW here in Thailand it has more features "bells and whistles" if you will than a new Honda or Toyota not to mention it is built by German craftsmen with real steel designed to do 150 MPH on the Autobahn 2 hours a day. The only problem I have had since I bought the car 3 years ago was an alternator bolt fell out which cost me 50B to replace and I changed the A/C compressor because it was making an odd noise I didn't care for which set me back 4,000B.

:o I will have a stab at this that BMW will not be the cheapest vehicle to service here in LOS.

Something Japanese, I suspect....parts are availible, both real and knock off, most of your common variety motor mechs can handle the repairs and maintenance and with all due repsect to german vehicles, they are very reliable and not that expensive for what you get..

My point is they don't need to be repaired very often as far as maintaining a BMW it's just oil,filters, breaks and tires no different than anything else, I mean okay an air filter for a BMW, if you buy the original replacement filter will run you 500B whereas a Honda filter will be (I'm guessing) around 300B. My wife had a 2003 Honda Civic Vtie with less than 150,000 Km I put somewhere in the neighborhood of around 250,000B into it over a 5 year period, everything from the transaxels to the AC went bad. I asked the Honda dealer if this was normal wear and tear and they assured me it was. So, that was my point.

The cheapest and easiest to reapir are the Toyota Altis and the Isuzu pickups. Loads of spare parts around. mainly because of all the taxis. Isuzu pickups are relatively maintenance free. Just put gas in the car at that's about it. Oil changes were free at my dealer.

Japanese cars come tops in every reliability chart that I can find.

congratulations to the Honda Accord which ranked at number one, and to Honda, Nissan and Toyota who all managed two cars in the top 10. Thirdly, congratulations to the Japanese automotive industry which supplied every car in the Top 10, and an amazing 16 of the Top 20. The highest placed non-Japanese model was the British built Jaguar X-Type in 13th with the mighty German automotive industry first appearing at number 25.

That's from warranty direct.

http://www.gizmag.com/go/5657/

Stick with Japanese.

As for BMW, I had a 735i many years ago in UK, it was a great car to own, but when it did go wrong it was very expensive to repair, and I mean VERY expensive.

In Thailand I have owned Isuzu, Toyota and Nissan, and I'm amazed at the reliability.

Well that kind of sums it up nicely thankyou Maigo, be interesting to see what Mr Truama centre hero has to say about that....perhaps hes snuck off to one of his hi-so meetings or is out berating people in another thread :o .

Personally I would also look at one of the Japanese makes, paying particular attention to ones made in thailand.

The four mentioned Honda, Toyota and Nissan all have factories in Thailand. Honda in Ayutthaya, Toyota has a big complex in the Eastern Seaboard. Nissan I think is somewhere near BangNa. Isuzu is somewhere near Samrong.

Its nice to own any of these because spare parts are readily available and cheap and cars can be easily fixed. Lots of factory support.

I highly do not recommend owning an imported car. Especially without dealers.

My friend took hew BMW for a service interval at the dealer and the invoice was like 20,000 for oil change and some other usual stuff. Stay away from Yontrakit dealers. Like BMW, Audi and KIA.

After sampling Thai Business Class and actually paying instead of using Air Miles to upgrade, i wish I had flown Economy Class. :D

Merc in Thailand, out of my league.

I have to make do with a Fortuner. :D

Still, a Fortuner suits me, it does 300 Kph in reverse, has a Mach one top end and I tailgate everyone flashing my lights cos I have to be first, you know the score, typical Fortuner driver.........

I was thinking of having mine resprayed Black so I can really fit the profile of an FIF ( Farang In Fortuner ). I'm sure F I F can be arranged to make new words to describe Fortuner drivers, and no doubt they will be.

Essentially if you stick to vehicles made in Thailand you will find the running costs lower.

Pick-ups being particularly simple in construction etc are cheap to repair.

You will also find that mechanics are more familiar with "local" models and don't waste time and money on unnecessary work because of product ignorance.

Diesels have lower fuel costs compared to petrol/gas counterparts - they also tend to be longer-lived

A couple of members suggested the Toyota Soluna, which I would suggest as well. We just had our most expensive repair done (clutch replacement) at the best full service car shop in Chiang Mai. Total cost with a steering system check was 2500 baht. Included a car wash and tire treatment. There are so many Soluna's in Thailand that parts availability and mechanical knowledge is very high. They drive nicely as well.

Yep, I'll stand you a few beers no problem.... :D

By the way I was looking on the web today and saw that Brabus has the fastest off roader with a converted Mercedes will do 0-100 Kph in 4.2 seconds and 150 Mph cos it's restricted, shouldbe good for 180 Mph with restricer removed. :D

I'm gonna spend 400,000 Baht on my Fortuner and get about 1000 BHP, 60 Mph in 3 seconds and a 9 second 1/4 mile, like I told you, beware of the Silver Menace! :o And then I woke up................... :D

Although there was a link here once to a guy that has a 1000 BHP Fortuner, no Idea what the performance was, but it must have been shattering !!!! :D And really fawking scarey !

      Second Assassination Attempt-Secret Service get Trump to safety

      Donald J. Trump Pays Court-Ordered $2 Million for Illegally Using Trump Foundation Funds Trump Ordered to Pay Eight Separate Charities $250,000 Each https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/donald-j-trump-pays-court-ordered-2-million-illegally-using-trump-foundation

      Urgent Mud Removal Underway in Post-Flood Chiang Rai

      Floodwaters have receded from Chiang Rai, leaving layers of stubborn mud behind, reaching even rooftops in the hardest-hit areas. Speed is of the essence in the cleanup to prevent the mud from hardening. Sombat Boonngamanong of the Mirror Foundation has provided a practical ten-step guide to help residents tackle the daunting task of cleaning their flooded homes. The initial step involves removing all movable items from the house. This not only facilitates cleaning but also avoids potential encounters with hidden venomous animals. Residents are advised to prepare large containers of water, using river water temporarily if tap water is not available. For effective mud removal, high-pressure water pumps are recommended, though electric versions should be avoided due to the risk of electric shocks. It's crucial to ensure the house’s main power supply is off and to verify that no electricity flows through the sockets. Due to shortages, rubber boots are vital, and those who've finished their cleaning are encouraged to donate their boots to neighbours in need. Emptying the house marks the next stage. Water and a squeegee are essential tools for clearing out the mud. For knee-deep or higher mud, shovels are not practical; instead, using fire trucks or large water tanks can help flush out the mud, particularly if the ground outside is lower than inside. Proper drainage channels must be prepared for this method to be effective. A thorough cleansing of the house involves using chlorine-based agents sparingly to prevent irritation. Cleaning should ideally begin from the upper floors, proceeding downwards, and from the inside of the house to the outside. Once the house is clean, all items returned inside need to be cleaned thoroughly as well. Sombat emphasised the importance of avoiding negative thoughts during this challenging period. Completing the task is more manageable and uplifting when done collectively with neighbours or friends. Volunteering to assist others can forge strong community ties, and such efforts are especially appreciated in difficult times. Since September 15, the Mirror Foundation has been coordinating volunteer efforts to help clean homes. Donations of essential items such as rubber boots, squeegees, shovels, hoes, large water containers, gloves, plastic sacks for flood debris, and water tanks over 60 litres are greatly appreciated to support these ongoing efforts.

      Truck Owner Distressed as Broker Crashes Vehicle into Pond, 4.2 Million Baht in Cash Lost

      UPDATE Broker Confesses to Spending Missing Millions After Pickup Truck Submersion Incident Picture courtesy of ThaiRath In a bizarre turn of events following the mysterious disappearance of 4.2 million baht after a truck plunged into a pond, the involved broker, Mr. Thongchai Wongsuwan, has confessed to having spent nearly all of the money, leaving just 500,000 baht. He expressed remorse, stating that karma caught up with him as he planned to confess, but a car accident prevented him from doing so. The incident occurred on the morning of September 14, when Mr. Thongchai, a car sales broker from Ban Rai District, lost control of his pickup truck, sending it into a pond near Wat Huai Khanang in Nong Chang District. He initially claimed that 4.2 million baht in cash was inside the vehicle and had sunk with the truck. Local rescue teams managed to recover 500,000 baht from the water, but suspicions arose when the truck owner, Ms. Sawitree Ruammaitri, demanded a full investigation and even requested the pond be drained to search for the remaining money. However, the pumping was halted after equipment failure on September 15. At 13:30 on September 16, Mr. Thongchai met with Ms. Sawitree at Nong Chang Police Station to settle the dispute. They negotiated the return of the 500,000 baht found at the scene with she also demanded that the full remaining amount be returned in one lump sum, rather than in instalments. Mr. Thongchai stated he has now already repaid 2.1 million baht and, after today’s payment of 500,000 baht, still owes 1.6 million baht. While Mr. Thongchai offered to repay in monthly instalments of 50,000 baht, the other party requested a single payment or valuable assets as compensation. During the negotiations, Mr. Thongchai admitted that he fabricated the story about the money sinking in the pond. He explained that he was shocked and panicked at the time but did not intend to deceive anyone. He confessed that he had spent nearly all of the 4.2 million baht from the car sale, leaving only 500,000 baht. His initial plan was to confess everything, but an accident occurred, almost costing him his life, before he could do so. The investigation continues as authorities look into the case further. -- 2024-09-16

      Your Girlfriend's Average Sandwich Quota

      But it DOESN'T have just two ingredients. You are just making that up without actually checking beforehand; a practice often undertaking by many of our 'esteemed' members 😊 Just for you, as you played along nicely: Since you are from the USA, we'll use that as a starting reference. https://www.nestleprofessional.us/nestle-carnation-evaporated-milk-6-x-97-fl-oz Evaporated Milk ingredients: MILK, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, CARRAGEENAN, VITAMIN D3. Compare that to the product to which you linked: https://www.tops.co.th/en/carnation-unsweeted-condensed-milk-405g-8850124018205 Ingredients: Milk Powder 12.5%, Maltodextrin 8.3%, Palm Olein Oil 5.6%. Not even closely related and we won't ask about the remaining 75.6%. That is their equivalent of your Evaporated Milk, not Condensed Milk. Now let move to Condensed Milk(we'll use UK for this one): https://www.carnation.co.uk/products/condensed-milk-and-caramel/condensed-milk-tin Ingredients: WHOLE MILK, SUGAR.

      Second Assassination Attempt-Secret Service get Trump to safety

      I have no idea , Trump is the only G.O.P person that I know of , I haven't heard of any others For the first time I can remember, I agree with you! I think the majority of Republicans still support Trump, but he is moving out of favor with a growing number of them. I think many support him just because they know of no alternative. I have no idea who could replace him at the top of the party. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

      Foreign National Killed in Early Morning Motorbike Accident on Koh Phangan

      It’s easy to prove the opposite, because he didn’t like alcohol. As I said before, he was a healthy person, trained in martial arts and was going to the beach for his morning routine. The accident was because he was driving faster than he should + sand + wet road. You can blame he was not wearing a helmet (something very common in KP unfortunately), but he was not coming from a party as mentioned before.
