Nervous_Dog Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I've decided to take the plunge and buy a car. Not a new car, but a 2nd hand one the wife can learn to crash. So off I trotted to find some car yards, and was happy to see on Rachada near my place there are many. Popped into the first one I came too, and stood around looking at various cars. Out popped the saleman, "Saywatdecrap" to each other as I wonder kicking tyres, and finally neer the entrance of the car yard I see a car I like, Volkswagon Golf Station Wagon. I turn to the sales man and in my impecable Thai I ask to see inside the car. "Rot Suway" Good looking car I say (I think) He gives me a odd look, then beams a smile, and trots into his office. Out he comes with the keys. I sit in it, start it, turn on the air. Nice car, a little mesy inside, but quite presentable. I get out and ask "How much" He looks blank, so I ask again in my fautless Thai "TOW RAI CRAP" He tell me 340 000 baht. "PANG MARK LOI" I explain at this ridiculously high price. He looks sad, interesting act for a sales man. How old I ask, 24 he replies, NOT YOU YA TWIT, THE CAR (I always note that regardless what everyone says, speaking louder does help) OHHH - 7 years old. Too much I tell him, maybe 270 000 baht at best. Not 340 000 he asks me. NO He looks sad, "But you think a good car" he asks me. It is I say, but too much, way too much. The weird bugger is now looking like he's about to cry. Feeling a bit sad for this useless sales man, I decide to pretend to be interested inother cars. I point to a old corolla, "How Much" I ask "Mai Loo", no idea he replies sadly. hmmm, ok - that one there the Mitsuibishi, how much "Mai Loo" he says again, still sad. OK - What will you sell me for 200 000 baht then I ask. Blank look SONG SAN BAHT Blank puzzelled look. OK - That car there, HOW MUCH Not for sale. FARK ME STOOPID, I begin to loose it and he finally looks like he's stopped crying at last about his last sales effort and more like the bar girls get just after I set fire to myself, the "please buddha take this farang away". WHAT CARS CAN YOU SELL ME THEN. "Mai mee" None What the fuck? OK - Are any of these cars for sale No ?????? But "The Volkswagon is for sale" I say? "That's my car, I pay 340 000 for it, this is a car park" Then he laughed at me as I walked away. DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
