Honda CR-V / Used / Where to buy?

[moonseeker]

I have ZERO car experience and a friend (handicapped/wheelchair) has just arrived. He wants to buy a used CR-V, as it seem to be ideal to get on/in with his wheelchair.

Any advise where to buy? He seems to think Bangkok is cheaper for the same thing than Pattaya. He is looking to spend between 400-500K.. I hope we can get some hints to help him find a "healthy" car that will serve him well for a while. Thank you to everybody. MS>

Bangkok is cheaper than pattaya due to less foreigners pushing prices up and greater availability

only thing to be careful of is a Bangkok flood damaged repaired vehicle

there were literally hundreds of thousands of cars dried out and put back on the road and now rusting from the inside out

that aside look for cars on ThaI car classified sales websites
