Guy in nerc told me that taxes on merc c are around 1mln...

But i saw in web sites price difference is huge...

And i plan get some nice wheels in future

R8 is too expensive so forget it.

I think mercedes c250 some very nice in sukumvit salon for 2.69mln

Same car in uk 1.6

They do no intrest on c class...

Just wonder whats the custom taxes on cars?

It would be cheaper ship from uk or buy here?

Pity farangland doesn't put huge taxes on Thai imports to even things up.........thumbsup.gif Perhaps might open closed eyes............Doubt it though...sad.png

If you are looking for a good and affordable all wheel drive, look at the Subaru small SUV...1350000 here in Thailand. (Not much over its price in the US). Very good reports on USA car Internet sites and...I love Subaru!....best cars I had...... I had an Audi Cabrio too....beautiful!..but not gentle with my pocket going to the shop.

I guess a GTR is around 8 - 9 million.

The problem with these high tech grey imports is service and parts after. So think twice before you buy.

A Benz C250 is definitely not worth the money, consider a new Honda Accord 2.4 instead. Better value for money and better service.

If a small 4-door would be acceptable, consider the VW Golf GTi. White market import so service is no problem. Around 2.6 mio, so same as the C250, but way more fun.

Just got butterflies in my stomach looking at that. Gorgeous car.

I was heading to Pattaya one race weekend to drive and it's a good thing I'm a race driver myself or I would have gotten run over by one on the 7. With the undulating road down that way the sight line wasn't very far behind and he was doing at least 150 maybe more and not Kilo's per hour, I looked in my rear view just in time as he came rumbling past, as had I changed lanes then as I was going to but then decided best to stay put, it would have been all over, never expected anything going that fast on that road the closing speed was unimaginable as I myself was doing over 90 and the sound was incredible, shook my whole car and my insides. Come to find out he was the pace car for our races the next day. w00t.gif

You can consider a BMW E92 M3 for around 4 mill. V8 and 420hp stock. Or a brand new 3 series 335 Hybrid, which combined with the electric engine gives you about 350hp stock (easily tuned). My friend has one, and is about as fast as my M3. With twin turbos, has more torque from lower RPM's. The loaded model is about 4.6 mill - 5 years warranty and service included. The hybrids get a tax deduction, that's why they're cheaper.

For me, the M3 is more than fast enough for Thai roads.

There is nooooooooo way a BMW could look better than my pic. wub.png

The R8 looks great indeed, but for that price you could buy a fairly new M6, with four seats and even luggage space :D
