IMHO Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Probably the closest you'll get w/out gray importing is the Maxus: http://www.maxusmotor.co.th/models/v80-pasina-palina/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) How about a Hiace. http://www.toyota.co.th/en/model/hiace Smaller but cheaper? Another possibility would be the small cab over trucks like Isuzu NHR / Elf or Mitsubishi Canter. http://www.fusotruck.co.th/?page_id=77 No access between cab and body like the van though. New models have grown in size but the older models with single rear wheels instead of duels are smaller and closer to the Transit size. These were popular in Thailand so there are used ones around. http://www.taladrod.com/m/icar/cardet.aspx?cid=1708434 Edited February 25, 2016 by Jitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thx for the post Jitar , but for years the company has used the usual Thai pick up format and I want to change to what is a considerably more suitable van for the purpose I need it for , and to be frank I believe a better impression to clients. So then , the hunt begins for a second hand one ......... Open to all offers if by chance someone has a friend of a friend who knows someone who has one , as even now looking at the major car sites all sites return 0.00 ;-(. They seem to of been availiable for a few years so they have to be out there somewhere , but where.... Crazy thing is theres probably someone wanting to sell one and looking for me who wants to buy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW caravelle are available but set up as up market minibus though. Other European vans are pretty rare but: http://www.one2car.com/for-sale/citroen-jumper--e0-b8-9b-e0-b8-b5-08-15-29-business-bangkok-metropolitan-kanchanaphisek/2725175/ Edited February 25, 2016 by Jitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisheewashee Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Last week I see a Mercedes Sprinter second hand on Kaidee.com but it was advertised as a Vito , first one one seen in 11 years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I enquired about the VW Caddy van at the motor show a couple of years ago but told none of the VW Vans are available as nobody wants them . This was the line from VW Thailand. This was when there were strong rumours that VW were going to manufacture in Malaysia. This i thought was a fob off as i would imagine they would sell well especially with what competition there is and it was pre VW diesal scandal . The mec sprinter is a VW rebadged anyway. I suspect it has something to do with taxation of the vehicles and the authorities being to confused to tell the difference between a commuter bus and a cargo van . And what is to stop bus companies buying a van and converting it to a sub standard bus buy screwing seats to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - Maxus is a sub-brand of SAIC who also own the MG brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - Maxus is a sub-brand of SAIC who also own the MG brand. Also worth noting is the fact Maxus was originally developed by a LDV/Daewoo joint venture. GM sold their part off and SAIC picked up the pieces and produce them in Asia and some Eastern Block Countries. The design is about 10 - 12 years old from memory and it's quite a good van.

BSJ Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The LDV is sold in Oz.....at rather cheeky prices! I wanted one hi-top for my business down there but balked at the price. It's a lot of cash for a box full of air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
