I know a great amount about car buying in the UK. But (like most things) it will be totally different in LOS.

So how does it work? In the UK only an idiot would buy without getting a discount, there is always a discount! Dealer and manufactuer. Also better deals on buying on finance than cash...

How does it work in LOS?

The PCP, personal contract plan is popular over here. With the riduculous used prices in los that would work great? Are they available?

Lease is also popular with private buyers now?

I would like some info on buying used too? I remember a few years back picking a free autotrader selling mag, is this still going? Any links appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

It's not really totally different, use your common sense, bring some who speaks and understands Thai and the process with you and you should do ok.

what sort of discount is normally available? Do you get better deals for cash or credit?

Cash always gets their attention no matter where you are..

There's a couple of others that escape me at the moment, I'm sure someone will be able to supply them or a site search is likely to turn up something since this has been discussed before..

the talarod site looks like theres some decent value, the translation thing will be a problem but theres certainly plenty of choice! thanks!

This....

Like WarpSpeed said, bring someone who speaks the language & flash the cash.

Definitely different to here, they would rather you buy on finance and give bigger discounts when you do...

the biggest issue with those sites is you cant filter the dealer from private sellers

Most times you can, just takes a bit of common sense and observation.

Wow, Yankee99, how do you like being put down by, presumably, one of your countrymen?

If you're happy buying from a dealer go to one2car.com. They're all dealers there, you don't need to bother too much about all that "common sense and observation" that WarpSpeeed has oozing out of his pores.

Im thick skinned;)

For the record i didnt say i couldn't tell the difference but who wants to look at 100 dealer ads to find one private seller. it Should work like Craigslist

Well stated Yankee especially since it wasn't a put down, but miss chezzi only likes to instigate, it makes her feel important and relevant, (now that was a put down) .
