drogon Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Seems that I already found a decent car through a board member...(and he is not scamming me or I would be surprised). Why a car? I like being autonomous wherever I go. It would make the life of someone else easier and she would be very happy with that... Going to the office will be much simpler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 CTO Exactly Mate, You have told me how you took the plunge and bought a new motor a few months ago. it costs an arm and a leg to begin with but once you are on the ladder it works out OK, You must have seen the 6 Millo Baht Benz Parked outside the 2 Millo Condo's. 3 Years ago I paid 1,219 Millo for the Fortuner and last weekend I was offferd 900K trade in for a new one, less than 10K / Month depreciation less than 1/4 the cost of renting. But as Pe7e said, if you are not here full time it does not make sense to own a vehicle, you tie up a large sum of money that depriciates over time whilst not earning interest, but as you said in the West you would loose just as much by driving of the forecourt, it depends if one is pretending to live here or is actualy living here whether or not a vehicle makes sense. There have been too many threads recently about cost / house loans / visas etc so I save my breath now but if here long term vehicle market is better than housing market IMHO.

samak Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 prices for new cars: http://www.rodthai.com/en_newcar.html as said by Mekong, second hand cars are expensive and you take a lot of risks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I left "her" This "her" is another "her" Who you know how? I didn't think you'd been back to LOS since breaking up with your last girl? Sounds like he's finally found someone that really is "different" on that dating site he was cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Prices for used cars in Thailand are damned high. It's one reason many are happy to buy new. You can see a car 5 years later with 100,000 km on the clock for around, or maybe even more than half of what you paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mekong - actually it was the DarLek who bought the car with her book advance - (book published by "Evans" in UK and in English only at this stage). I'm too poor to have the deposit - though that changes at last over the next few months! I was surprised when we dropped into the dealer over Songkran they already started making good offers on a trade in. Next time I want a van - for work/large family I have acquired. However the OLD HiAce with the high roof is exactly what I want the NEW Hiace I hate- far too big - I like the Hyundi Van's - but too expensive - oddly very cheap in LAOS - go figure!
