What car would you advice for 100,000 Baht ?

- Reliable

- Manual transmition

- No air con is OK.

- Open roof would be a nice but optional.

I think I will be very happy with something small like a suzuki caribean but I didn't find it under 150 000 baht

I also like the Jeep (like CJ-7) but it's a bit too expensive

Is there a similar model that would match my price range ?

If not what kind of car would you take ? I'm asking you this because I have a poor knowlege of thai 2nd hand market.

You should easily find a Caribean for under 100k. Look on cars4thais or one2car.

For that sort of money all you are going to be buying is a world of pain. Can you not buy a motorcycle and use that for your purposes? Certainly be a darn sight more reliable.

I have the motorbike for daily use, but I need a car for going out with the dog or when I'm going to the shop.

Also I think it will allow me to discover a bit further the area.

I don't want to use the car everyday, I just need one sometime so I want a cheap and reliable one.

Thank you Naboo for the advice.

twice that for a good one at least

Buy an older full frame truck/SUV and chop off the roof like they do with the older Chevy Blazers and Ford Broncos in the US.....

Perhaps a 5th or 6th hand car would be more accurate?

Guess for that budget would look at something like this http://www.thaicar.c...mer_id=Tent1143

or go here 219 cars and truck under 100,000 baht.......... http://www.one2car.c...0&price2=100000

1999 small pickup ? http://www.siammotor.com/siammotornew/detailcar.php?transnum=28124

For 100K you will get nothing but rubbish. 200K and you can get a nice car.

The old Isuzu Buddy vans go for about that much. Those things seem to go forever.

One thing for sure ... forget the exoten like BMW, Hyundai, Peugeot, Volvo, Opel and so on. Go for a old Toyota or Nissan. At least spare parts on every corner of the street and and keep the car as basic as possible. Electronics will give problems by old cars.
