beachproperty Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) We're comparing base model single cab pickups to 7-seat SUV's?!?!? An eco hatchback would be a better comparison, but still a stupid one To be quite frank....I wasn't comparing anything!...All I was saying that instead of buying a used vehicle....buy a new one. But if you read my later posts you might realize that I told OP that "his deal" on paper appeared quite good "for his intended purposes"....just to be careful... I guess its a TV thing to "attack" with out being fully informed or if the post doesn't agree with Your thinking... You keep on suggesting the OP's buys apples instead of oranges. Someone had to call it. I find it "completely amazing" that some posters... post "just to post"....IMHO seems to think that I am relentlessly pushing buying a New Car ....WHEN IN FACT I posted, saying that the Everest seem to fit his bill, that it was a good deal...just be careful... Prior to that (in the original post) he just stated that he was interested in the "Everest"...I admitted knowing nothing about an "Everest" but only suggested he may want to look into buying a "new" truck (or car for that matter)...Why buy someone else's problems????? AND for your information IMHO I think the OP is intelligent enough to distinguish between "apples and oranges" ...AS IN FACT others had called it ....So your trying to take credit now ....well ...as I said ...some posters just post to get the posting # up .....looks like in fact that's what you do....type a lot and say nothing!

Well ....that's where you and I are going to have to agree to disagree.....When making ANY decision, its best to know ALL the options...EVEN the "bad ones" so one can make an informed decision....wouldn't you agree? .....and if so, then my post was helpful as it pointed out another option...albeit maybe not a good one (But I believe that is for the OP to decide.....and well, as said before....he gave me a "like") And to the OP ....good luck on whatever you decide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailoht Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have a family of 4 and we would like 2 more children so I need a 7 seater. The Everest I am looking at is a 2007 2.5 litre with 73000 kilometers and is THB 505,000. It is owned by a farang. To get a 7 seater new starts me at a million baht. (In attempt to redirect everyone's focus ) ...... OP, how have things turned out for you in this situation? Have you looked over the Everest and taken it for a drive? What have you decided? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmercer86 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for all the input guys! I think I've decided to get the Everest even though it's used, due to the low miles and forung owner. He just emailed me the complete service records. For a 7 seater I can't find a better deal. I really just wanted to make sure the parts wouldn't be through the roof expensive when it needs them. Anyway, thanks for chiming in!!!

BORRISGOODENUF Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Should have no issues. most fords in Thailand prior to 2013 are re- badged Mazda's.for some reasons in the past, Fords were not liked by Thais.I have no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Fords were not liked by Thais.I have no idea why. Thai's or Foreigner's are like sheep. They only believe what they read on this forum like only buy a Toyota what a load of crap, a Ford will have no more problems than a Toyota. Most foreigners only drive up to the 7/11 and say there Toyota never break's down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
