thaimee Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 please, can anyone advise where in Thailand can buy an inexpensive car? 'Chiang Mai' perhaps the place for browse? no of any another place that is nearer to pattaya? thank you very much. (newbie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seykota Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hi, I am no closer but the same strategy may work = My wife (Thai) put word out that we would pay 1000 Baht finders fee. Punters went door knocking asking if the car out front was for sale. Plenty to choose from. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 New or used? Dealer prices range from province to province apparently. We live in Surat Thani and most people here find it worthwhile to drive to Chumpon or Hat Yai to buy a new car or truck as the savings is substantial, a savings of at least 5,000 baht for a truck. But, Bangkok dealers are the cheapest, usually second hand cars are cheaper there too. A case of the cheapest prices being at the source! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimee Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 reason for the post was to confirm chiang mai is the cheapest source for second hand car/ pick up. a friend of my GF was told in north can buy very cheap. can't believe quote of forty thousand baht, but then anything is possible. i wondered if there was any truth i guess. thank you very much.

dr_Pat_Pong Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 More competition in BKK means lower prices, new and used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuang Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 thaimee....used cars are definitely cheaper in Bangkok than Chiangmai or other provinces...I know of dealers who used to scout second-hand cars in Bangkok for re-sale in Chiangmai....happy hunting....

p1p Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Some dealers in Chiang Mai ship their cars from Bangkok. Others ship unsold cars to Bangkok. Take your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I know that pickup. It isn't so much a pickup as a Fiat 125 Special T with the top and boot rusted away. 40K eh? I sold it for 4K. Try Farang Advertiser Magazine. Plenty of choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcr Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Daniels in Pattaya at the moment Mr ######, met him! The Advertiser not got a lot in it at the moment, but its only the first issue so sure it will grow into something worth getting, like the Pattaya Trader is in Pattaya.
