terdsak_12 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 They're saying that as they can'tbe bothered to chase one up for you. I have a whole stack of them for our clients. Like golddust sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokia Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My Vigo car dealer in Chiang Mai(Niyom) also can't be bothered, so i'm wondering is there a soft copy or acrobat type file, otherwise i can only understand the pictures in the Thai version.

I got Fortuna english version from Chiangmai (Niyom) for 280B, maybe I am just lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcalsop Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Toyota are slow with the service for English documentation , do not take no for an answer ..Thailand is the printing Hub for the English documents chase email Toyota , and you will get one !!! Honda was another matter they supplied it with the car no hassel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maigo6 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 When I bought my Fortuner in Khon Kaen I was also told there was no English Manual. I will chase them up when I get back from work, they need some papers from me as they are selling my Pick-up that they bought part exchange, but need a residence address paper from immigration from me, i will do a trade with them!

Mobi Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Can I gate crash? Bought my Ford Escape in 2004, asked dealer for English manual, 2 years later still waiting. Still don't know what half the controls do! Not sure that the Thaias do either. I've got several to read the Thai manual, and then expain to me - in Thai - but they just look at me, stare, and change the subject. Anyone know of an English handbook available for this model? BTW How's the Fortuna? Thinking of changing my Escape for a Fortuna - maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maigo6 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 BTW How's the Fortuna? Thinking of changing my Escape for a Fortuna - maybe next year. I think Fortunas are great , excellent value, powerful, spacious, Hi riding, smooth and pretty quiet for a diesel, neat leather interior, good stock sound system. I had a Toyota Tiger 4WD before the Fortuner, I was always thinking about buying a Fortuner someday, then I test drove one in Khon Kaen, wow, what a difference, I was hooked, I picked up a brand new one the very next day. Mobi, I don't think you can get a test drive in Pattaya, might be worth keeping an eye open for Toyota dealers that do have a test drive Fortuner. Go for it mate, great value motors.

LoveDaBlues Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 When I bought my Fortuner in Khon Kaen I was also told there was no English Manual. When I ordered my Fortuner I had 4-5 'extras' thrown in. One was an English manual. I made them write the extras into the contract. I got the manual with the car. BTW.....Fortuner has been great I love it. Perfect car for Thailand IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I got an English manual when I bought my Vigo and it came in a bag with a part number on it! They are being lazy! Get up 'em, you paid a lot of money for your car and they can get you one just the same as any part, I wish I could give you the part number but I threw it out....

Looks like customer services at Toyota did the trick,have emailed them and phoned re the problems some farang are experiencing.Later had a call from the dealer to say he had been on to head office and ordered an English handbook for me,was that not thoughtful of him.Obviously head office had been on to the dealer.Anyhow my handbook is on it's way.Will post the customer relations Email address and phone number when I find it again.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. The Toyota Customer Relations dept. can be reached on [email protected] telephone no. 02386 2000.I think it would be useful to email a complaint to them as well,may make it easier for future farang, Toyota buyers .Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
