Schmuddel Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I´ll arrive in BKK on the 26th and I´m about to buy a pick-up mainly for my father-in-law. I planned around 300-350k THB for a used Hilux Tiger but a new one would be better for sure. Does anyone know and recommend some promotion for a new pick-up below 500k for some kind of space cab. Doesn´t have to be SUAI just a reliable one that should last for the next ten years. Any advice appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajahnlau Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Don't know of any below 500k. The cheapest would be a Mitsubushi. Does FIL live in BKK? If not better to buy from where family resides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griser Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I purchased a brand new Nissan Frontier limited edition for under 500k about 6 months ago. That was also the price with financing, Cash will get you further discounts Shouldnt be too hard to find one under 500k Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmuddel Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks for your answers. Talked to my wife about that and it came out that she doesn like Nissan anyway so I will look for a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryofthailand Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Ford ranger single cab is also around 500,000. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus+ Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Second hand Toyota Hilux Tiger, no brainer. Or you might consider second hand Isuzu D-max instead. Isuzus hold the value somewhat better but Toyota is overall a better truck for you. Call it illogical but it's about the same as with Thai voting preferences - Thais don't necesseraly vote for what is best for them, esp. in the long term. Isuzu holds its market position mostly due to very strong marketing and brand loyalty. You won't go wrong with either, mind you. Cheap new trucks for under 500k are a big compromise that offsets their "newness". And don't fall for "new" Nissan or Ford, or Mazda - they are the same generation as "old", second hand, Toyota, Isuzu, or Mitsubishi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
