I've been looking to craigslist thailand and noticed many affordable used cars all from Chiang Mai area. They have just one thing in common, all from dear farangs. I want to buy an automatic car for my wife but I don't want to start with a brand new car (She has no driving experience yet!). Why its so hard to find a decent car for the decent price in Bangkok? Thais must be nuts asking for thoose prices!

Market............

they need to be cheaper

i would need to make very big savings to make the trip to red central.......

I can only see 6 listings for chiangmai on craigslist, and nothing that stands out as being a bargain: http://bangkok.craigslist.co.th/search/cta?query=chiang&srchType=A&minAsk=&maxAsk=

When I was doing price comparisons for used cars, I found prices from dealers about twenty five percent less in Bangkok than in Chiang Mai.

Hidden Explosives perhaps.

Can you show me any link or address that are selling under these prices? All I can find is overpriced 15-20 years old Toyota cars for > 160 - 190K baht.

130K for automatic opel corsa 1997 is a bargain in my terms.

And here's 1000 cars under 150K: http://one2car.com/search/search_result.aspx?Price1=10&Price2=150000

Craigslist is only used by foreigners, mainly only americanss (not even in Europeans), therefore you find only "farangs" who offer their cars on CL. I use sell cars on CL in Hawaii, but in LOS not poular at all, because it's only in english, not in Thai.
