jack71 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm trying to decide on which brand of pickup to buy and I get a feeling in my trousers about the new 2014 model 4x4 Ford. I don't have the spec on me right now but its the one with the 6 air bags and all the techie stuff. When you stick it in reverse the tv screen appears in the rear vision window. It looks dam good in my opinion and the orange / red colour one is the one I think I will buy. However, I wonder in 5 years time will I be sick of the orange colour or not? Is it safer to go for the white or silver. The other day I saw an older model ford in that orange colour and it didnt look that good to be honest. I'm thus a little ambivalent about what colour to get. Whilst I have your attention, Ive never purchased a new car before and want to pay 20% deposit and get finance. On the day of signing the doc's should I be doing bank transfer or paying cash and getting a receipt. Any advice on this process is appreciated. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 After 5 years l would be more worried about other stuff, not the colour.......... But, I like the red and "metalic" (mica) blue....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinpeter Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi There/. Well regarding the colour, my thoughts after having a silver car for 5 years - I am after a change from normal boring Thailand colours like silver, bronze, black and I Like the Mars red (Ford colour) this time. Don't know what touch/paint match will be like in a few years from minor dings/scratches that you will get in Thailand though. My silver vios silver paint never matched that great on a few minor scratches. White seems ok for a couple of years, but without great car care, seems to turn yellow or dull white later. Anyway - I am ready for a change this time and have ordered a Ford Ecosport in Mars Red, taking delivery next Friday- they are busy now fitting all my free extra's now with the SUV, no discounts around much now but plenty of extra's though, managed to get a list of 15 things extra with the Ecosport. cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I like the chili Orange at sunset.. Rest of the time.? Seen a few with blacked out chrome and alloys that looked better to me.

Ace of Pop Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think they look ostentatious and too gaudy, a Yobs Delight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ask the dealer what the waiting time is for a Chilli Orange Wildtrak. then make your decision if you still want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think they look ostentatious and too gaudy, a Yobs Delight. Yep, let's stick with either black, white or silver, same as everyone else. Play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Nissan looks like a Gentleman's Ride in any colour, the Ford will appeal to Justin Beebers Or Tuna Types. I Rather like the Nissans looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Like the color (pretty close to UT Austin colors) but all of our family cars are black like our hearts and both are kind of tradition now. If you plan on going the DC-3/B-52 route and actively maintain it, then all good. If resale is in the works down the road, any truck that isn't a Toyota or Isuzu probably isn't a good idea. :-) Edited July 12, 2014 by Heng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 When you go to sell second hand you have limited your potential customers to those who also like that colour whereas white maybe safe and boring but most people can live with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I always go for high impact colors on any vehicle, for no other reasons than they're easier to spot in a parking lot and possible more visible on the road for safety, wouldn't apply in Thailand, lol Edited July 12, 2014 by cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewise Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) happy with my Chev, 20 inch rims, low profile, no too many issues so far except for battery after exactly 2 years. with rims looks better IMO.

BSJ Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The orange Ford looks really great! And the roadside service guys will find you very easily when you call them. Plus other motorists can tell it's a Ford from a long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
