Car Recommendations

[54321]

We have a car (1996 Nissan) and drive down from Bangkok towards Had Yai 5 times a year (approx 900km each way) and are considering a change as it is getting old, and the other vehicles en route tend to be nearly twice our size and I would prefer something a little more solid with a few more safety features (namely airbags).

Ideal budget approx 300,000 baht but could go higher (have seen a volvo for 500,000 and could stretch to that but it just seems a little pricey for a 10 year old car), so can anyone suggest a decent vehicle that would meet our needs, its just i am not too familiar as to what is in the market and which vehicles are well built.

Thanks

PS Safety is the key word, not neccesarily style

My in-laws have a volvo V40 2.0T from 2001 for sale.

It's for sale for around 420.000 THB. If you are interested, I will let you know the details in PM.

They also have a Toyota Camry 2.4Q from 2006 for sale.

They are asking around 700.000 THB.

Old Volvo or BMW most likely with a Toyota engine or pick up for that money. If you want large.

Or a new eco/city/budget car maybe with the 100k discount.
