What would be the best English term to describe this type of practice? ransom? blackmail? something else? In the UK a car in short supply is worth a 'premium' USA 'over sticker' NZ 'over list' etc,etc Common all over the world. It seems TH Franchise Dealers have only just caught on.

According to the post above, they agreed on a price with promised delivery date, then several months later "oh sorry, your car got exported, pay us 50K or we'll make sure it happens again" - or words to that effect... My dictionary pops up with the word "extortion" as an English equiv. for the other Thai word I have in mind to describe it...

Spoonman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I wonder which country a " For Thailand" spec built vehicle would get exported to ?

They're welching on deals earlier agreed upon as they know they can squeeze another 50k THB out of the trucks with another buyer. They're not doing too much for their credibility are they/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmymaimee Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Saw this 3.2 Ranger at the auto show. Fender flares, Raptor grill, BF A/T tires, aftermarket wheels, front and rear bars and lift kit….all in about 200,000 baht. I think it looks great. You won't have to worry about other drivers trying to squeeze you ut of your lane with this truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
