katabeachbum Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 a new nissan navara calibre double cab automatic 4x2 is 800k. Best value for a handsome beast. The only down side is a wide turning circle. Oil change and service is every 10k. Phuket town garage and show room is excellent. poor crash safety, euroNAPCAP only 2 stars, while Ford Ranger and Mazda BT 50 makes 5 stars, 799k baht. 15k km service Mazda public release today just lowered the top model to 988k baht, and being less than 1 million thus qualifies for first car owner scheme, with 100k baht refunded excicetax after one year of ownership. Bargain at 900k baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

necronx99 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nope 2 door or 2+2 door pickups seating 2-3 in one seatrow, rear bench illegal for passengers, 3% excicetax 4 door seating 5-6 in 2 seatrows, 12% excicetax above must have chassie/frame with leafspring and able to load 1.000Kg 4-5 door ppv able to seat 7 in 3 seatrows, frame as baove, but wheelbase as short as 2,75 and rear coilspring allowed since 2004, 20% excicetax, as Fortuner and Pajero Sport. Are the excise taxes payable on top of the dealer prices? i.e if I see a triton 4 door for 820k, the drive away price is 820k plus 96k plus registration costs? Anything else added?

If the sticker prcice is 820k then that is the total price. Extras may include insurance & registration but sometimes they are included. If buying with finance shop around as they vary in their interest rates & this is generally where the free insurance comes from, not the dealer.

cornishcarlos Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I got my Ranger last August, 25% deposit and 4 years 0% finance.. Included free insurance and other add ons (not Ford but look ok). The Phuket dealer told me 18km/L, I laughed at him... We get 13km/L cruising at 120km/h.. 18K baht extra for the full service package, so only paying average of 1800 baht per service.. IMO, and I've only driven a few different pick ups, this Ford has great torque off the line, likes to have the RPM kept up a little bit and will stay with most cars out of the traffic lights.. So far I'm happy, couldn't be bothered to wait for the new model and resale value not an issue as I don't intend to sell it. 675K for 2.5 XLT Open Cab.. Happy hunting and don't believe a word they say in Ford Phuket, go to BKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barka Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 some real good advice on this topic ,from many postors....its horses for courses...the top pick ups in my opinion are... TOYOTA..ISUZU/CHEVY..FORD/MAZDA....MITSIBUSHI..and you have to shop around for the best deals.. They usually have special promotions on at the motor shows in Tesco,Central etc usually for limited periods only so you have to make your mind up quickly and place your order and leave a deposit,thats how i bought my last 2 vehicles and got very god discounts and extras...Good Hunting..
