Cabrinha Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Finally I got the car yesterday. I'm bloody delighted with it. The quality doesn't feel a whole lot different to my range rover sport I used to drive before moving to Thailand. I think it's streets ahead of other vehicles in its class I've test driven in Thailand. Still atrocious attitude from the dealership manager. When we arrived into the showroom her office door was open. She swiftly closed it and remained inside so she wouldn't have to look at or acknowledge us. First step was to change the wheels and tyres.

Cabrinha Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Bring back the Range Rover,that looks awfull. If we all liked the same type of car and the same type of woman, things would not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrinha Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 The pressed steel wheel look is that the latest fad ? I've no idea what the latest fad is. I've no interest in the latest fad. I just look at whats available and buy what I like best. Some people will love it, some people hate it, such is the variety of life thankfully.

Correct but at least you realise when people are smiling at your ride/wheels they may not be admiring . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 My Everest still has the factory 20" alloys, because the only other wheel I've seen & liked on it are the factory 22" from the US market Ford Expedition, but they're a 6x135 bolt pattern, which means changing all the wheel hubs/discs as well... http://community.headlightmag.com/index.php?topic=49823.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I prefer the WT wheels to the Everests, but they're 18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallodri Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Congrats on a great car. Did you sell the original tyres to the dealership (price?) or just keep them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also waiting for the usual aftermarket suspects to make smoked versions of the tail lamps, with functional lights also on the rear door itself.

SoFarAndNear Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Man... I wish I could effort an Everest. That thing is so much cooler then any other Thai SUV on the Road. Maybe next year when you just have you wait 1-2 months after order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) I had a similar experience to the O.P. at my Ford garage. I e-mailed Ford Thailand and complained very strongly about the lies and lack of customer care . I told them that we were adults , and we could be told the truth from day one , we can handle it. I received an e-mail back and several phone calls apologizing. I told them that their apologies were no good , just stop your staff from lying . The Ford is a good motor but the other crap that you have to put up with is not worth it. Definitely Toyota next time.

Maybe next year when you just have you wait 1-2 months after order Yes ... save up hard ... we really like our T+ ...it took a lot of phone calls and e-mails to Ford last year. Many phone calls went unanswered BUT in the end got one! Here's hoping for no problems for many years. It's definitely superior to the Fortuner, at present anyway...except the new Sportivo front seats are better, much better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumgranosalum Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Ford is no exception - sales staff throughout the motor industry in Thailand are cut from the same cloth....When buying my Navara asked the girl in the showroom the following Does it have locking diff? - "yes" Does it have a roof rack? - "yes" Does it have a swimming pool in the back? - "yes" Will you shag me if I buy it? - "yes" Needless to say, all the answers were incorrect bar one.
