steelepulse Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I've never seen a dealership in Phuket. Not too many VW's sold in Thailand due to the high tax. http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/th/vehicle/index.php?lang=en&new=1 Shows prices. 2 million for a gulf Edited April 1, 2009 by steelepulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've never seen a dealership in Phuket. Not too many VW's sold in Thailand due to the high tax. Actually there used to be a showroom for VW, Audi, Fiat, Seat about 10 years ago just off the big roundabout behind Robinsons. But it closed down long time ago. Never seen another dealer for VW on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yarowat handles VW skoda citroen and IIRC peugot.. I have dealt with some seriously bad customer service in my years in asia, some shoddy work, some outright lies, some employees that simply dont care etc.. But Yarowat absolutely takes the cake as the premier award winner for worst of the lot. Theres no such thing as a used car from an 'official dealer' here on Phuket as theres no 'official dealer'..

steelepulse Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yes you're right. There will always be a business that will gladly take a commission from someone that wants to buy a car, but there is no official showroom for VW's in Phuket as Performance is for BMW, and the showroom for MB on the same road to the airport as Performance.

Kimera Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 you wanna buy this? Can anyone explain why Thais, give you a nip on the arm every time they see a Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 you wanna buy this? Can anyone explain why Thais, give you a nip on the arm every time they see a Beetle Is it the 'too cute' 'man keow' nip ?? Thats a peachy bug.. I had a buggy when I was younger and my folks had campers / combis.. If you dont do major distances I think they have bags of character and are one of those cars you just have a real attachment to. Personally I am more of a lad and like the roadster / fatboy styles of custom more than the classics but thats not to detract from that one at all.. I have only seen rough ones that would have made a project base, what do you reckon that ones worth (again not fishing, not in the market myself) ??

ignis Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If you are looking for a Passat, then also look at the SKODA OCTAVIA 2.0 SLX, for a 2001-2002 model there 1/2 the price of the Passat, yet basically there the same car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudriwudri Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Octavia IMHO same Golf, not Passat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Octavia IMHO same Golf, not Passat Yes it is built on the Golf frame It’s a Golf underneath but with extra space and a genuine big-car feel. A Golf of the same year if you could find one is even more expensive than a Passat of the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabeachbum Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yes you're right. There will always be a business that will gladly take a commission from someone that wants to buy a car, but there is no official showroom for VW's in Phuket as Performance is for BMW, and the showroom for MB on the same road to the airport as Performance. I think Performance/BMW gave up 1,5 years ago. Now its Barcelona/BMW. Not sure whats happening with Benz Phuket, as the owner shot himself a few months back. VW/ Audi is represented in LOS by Yountrakit (BKK only), and LivinLOS has said all that needs to be said about their business. Lux in Patong is an independent importer, and can provide VW/Audi. Their contact info in Phuket gazette, wheels and motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Was in BMW Barcelona today to get service on BMW bike and they had a brand new VW Scirocco in white. WOW what a cool looking motor, first one i've seen in the flesh and it looks the mutts nuts. Well worth a trip down just to see it. I would imagine its gonna have a healthy price tag on it though !!

With only 2 dealers south of Bangkok it doesnt seem to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
