WarpSpeed Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 MRO hit it but in response some do, you have to be a savvy consumer and find the ones that do, surely the cars on their lot will likely also be more expensive so there's that to consider whether or not it's worth the extra cost off the top or not?

rics21 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 it's hard to buy a second car in Thailand unless u r getting from the owner. most second hand car dealers buy scrap metals from insurance companies and get the car back into shape and sell it off at a VERY LIMITED warranty. which does not include wear n tear.

katabeachbum Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 the moment you have payed and transfered ownership, you have accepted car as it is. would even be a hard case if its got an old engine or whatever no consumer rights in LOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my car is an older model Vento, 16 years to be exact.. always tot vento was a problematic car. how was it? Well that's not a fair assessment... It's a 16 year old USED car in Thailand which means it's had 16 years of Thai engineering abuse but still taking that into account I've not had any problems that really weren't expected for a car that age of any make.. In fact considering the upgraded Thai engineering I've enoucoutered over the inferior German engineering it was produced with I'd say it's a bloody miracle it's still on the road at all let alone the condition it's in at the moment and that can only be attributed to the durability of the original package..

stingray Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 it's hard to buy a second car in Thailand unless u r getting from the owner. most second hand car dealers buy scrap metals from insurance companies and get the car back into shape and sell it off at a VERY LIMITED warranty. which does not include wear n tear. New car warrantie not even include wear and tear. There is only warranty on engine and drive train. All our rental cars (which we bought new) have no warrantie on brakes, tires, power windows, brakes, engine mounts, drive shafts, suspension parts, etc. So forget about warrantie anyway. How used car dealers can offer warrantie when new cars are limited and finish after 3 years. You want warrantie you buy new (any pay more, of crose)!

Everone who have comonsense NOT sale car for 1'000 Dollar in the same country, because on a 1'000 Dollar car you can always find more to repair as the car is worth. In USA it's different all cars below 2'000 USD can be sold without warrantie. 2'000 USD Cars are crab anyway, so there would be no warantie possible.
