My favourite type of video from your channel, car window shopping. Keep it coming!
Thanks mate, I also enjoy making them so there will definitely be more 👍👍👍
I went home to Australia in March of this year and purchased an LDV T60 Luxe (Extender) for one of the workers in my company. He tells me it is brilliant, 2 litre twin turbo, comfortable, smooth, leather, all the bells and whistles, plenty of gitty up power for what we need it for. I am happy with the purchase. 1/2 the cost of a raptor.
Another good choice, the LDV has proven itself in Aus and I worked with the importer ATECO on some projects with LDV and RAM, from memory the LDV you bought is around $20k cheaper than a SR5 Hilux and far more reliable than the Ranger 👍
Hi Jason, You've pointed out some great possible small cars. At the moment, there's no need for me to get a car. Bolt is enough to get me around the local area. However, it seemed to me from your Bangsaray videos, that driving around that area would be a totally different experience to driving in and around Pattaya. Even though there is Bolt there, I would consider a car if Bangsaray was where I lived. I must get down there and check it out. Thanks for your interesting mix of videos.
Hi Christine, you definitely should have a look at Bang Saray and I’m sure you would find driving no problem there and even the odd drive to Jomtien/Pattaya. Thank you as always for your comments and support 🙏🙏🙏
Can you have or own a car in Thailand as a foreigner?
Yes... Your name can go in the book.
yes@@user-lp2ep1wn9u
Spot on🙌 Japanese all day long , but would be hesitant of Nissan🤔 too soft and turbo issues. If you have deep pockets and want to make friends with the dealership buy a German car🤯.
Agree 100% I worked for Nissan Aus as a BDM for a number of years, nothing more to say
You said it in the beginning, Japanese Cars or Trucks. Your Hilux diesel is number one. Toyota and Honda, good video and thanks.
Thanks mate, unfortunately Maxine my Hilux is petrol and not diesel, wish it was though 👍👍👍
Sorry Jason, I thought it was a Diesel Truck, Gas or Diesel still a great truck. @@goodvibespattaya2423
Another cracking Vlog mate. I agree Hilux's tops, Isuzu close behind (the AT35 Arctic Truck is awesome). Nissan Navaras & Mitsi L200 as theyre known in the UK, service intervals too short and always have engine and gearbox issues. The Rangers have issues, the MG I just dont know in a pick up, but getting models are getting popular in the UK, just no pick ups Ive seen on the road yet. I'd have an Hilux all day long, the King of pick ups (just see Top Gear!). Im in the automotive business too Jason, its a great insight for future retirement, my god though cars are expensive in Thailand, more expensive than the UK and thats saying something. Running costs of your vehicle would be interesting, tax, insurance, MOT, servicing, tyres etc.
Thanks mate and a massive thank you for the coffees, really appreciate it and this comment sharing car stuff in the UK 👍.
I will be getting a service done on Maxine soon and some other stuff so I will video that too!
Thanks again mate, take care over there 😊
Used cars are quiet expensive in Thailand so there are a lot of affordable new cars with full warranty. If you sell them with low mileage u don't lose a lot.
Exactly, better to buy a new car as many used aren’t that much cheaper than new and as you say, full manufacture warranty 👍👍👍
Thanks mate 😊
Good video
Thanks mate 👍
Hi Jason.. thank you for all the good videos you do.. is it possible for you to do a video at a car dealership that sells brand new cars especially four wheel drive cars please
Hi there, yes I will be doing that at some stage, do you mean SUV’s?
I made this video earlier this year
The Top 5 Selling Pickups (Utes) for 2022 in Thailand - Pricing and what you need to know
th-cam.com/video/NonrGNRTKfE/w-d-xo.html
@goodvibespattaya2423 hi Jason 👋.. yes I meant the SUV... I'm looking at moving to Thailand within the next couple of years..I would also like to see more videos done on rent to own properties or if you can find out any companies or real estates that do it.. thank you very much from a fellow Australian
@@vanessamclellan4259 hi Vanessa, okay I will do a video on SUV’s at some stage and I do know the owner that has 300 plus condos with rent to own, if you want to email me I can put you in contact with him, goodvibespattaya@gmail.com
Thanks
@goodvibespattaya2423 Jason are any of the condo's he had brand new or ones that have already been lived in
Great video Jason. I purchased a 2019 Yaris. Sadly with a CVT. It doesn’t shudder yet I’m just waiting. 😂.
I have found a very good mechanic for its first service. NT mechanics. There on the south side of Sukhumvit Rd on the cross roads next to the Tiger Park. He did a first rate job and picked up the
same repair needed as I did. He charged a very reasonable price. I am going to use him from now on and will recommend him to others.
Thanks mate, I know I’m quite harsh when I say I don’t like CVT’s but they are fine and perfect for most people, it’s just the mechanic coming out of me and I have driven a new Yaris and Corolla Cross and they have one of the best CVT’s along with Honda. I may end up with a Yaris one day. I should go and meet your mechanic, can he speak any English? I need to get the a/c looked at on Maxine.
Cheers mate 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 his English is ok and enough to get by. He has an air conditioned waiting room with a TV and comfortable lounge. Also the shop next door does a very reasonable lunch. Try the Chang Mie sausage .
@@andrewmuzzall1635 is this it
maps.app.goo.gl/UpvGBGDiN1o9RQEx7?g_st=ic
Yep, that’s the place mate.
@@andrewmuzzall1635 excellent, thank you mate, I will definitely be taking Maxine there in the coming weeks for a service and probably a/c regas and might video it. Really appreciate you sharing this 👍👍👍
Great video & Content Jason.Thank you.
Thanks for the car video. It is much appreciated! We have a cvt in the Lincoln (not sure if i've mentioned that before, sorry if so!) and it has been ok, but it's a different beast than a regular automatic. No problems with it so far *knocks on wood* but i also can't wait to be rid of it. I should have kept my Mercedes and got rid of mom's Lincoln instead of the other way around! lol
I never learned to drive a manual, so I am nervous about car and motorbike shopping there!
Thanks Matt, CVT’s are okay and reliable in Toyotas & Hondas but as you said, a different beast to drive compared to a conventional automatic and that’s what I’m not so keen on but for a to b running around they are okay 👍
Hi Jason, I can't see owning anything other than a Ute. I am quite sure I will be trying a few different areas to live there as you have. I want to make sure I find the right place for me for long term living. A Ute is more versatile than a car in my opinion. The Ute will make moving a breeze compared to multiple trips with a car. Trying to fit a wheelchair into the back hatch of those mini cars is a pain in the arse hahaha. Enjoyed this video, it's nice to see anything auto related.
Hi mate, hope you are well. Thank you and spot on mate, the best vehicle to buy here is a Ute or pickup for those who don’t know what us Aussies call them, price & practicality make them a no brainer 👍
Another informative video nice one Jason 👍👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
I love your videos Mate.
Thanks mate, appreciate your support and for saying this 👍👍👍
Another informative video thanks Jason, yes I don't like cars with the CVT transmission ,but very hard to avoid in the motor scooters ..hope you are enjoying your ADV mate,you worked a great deal on that one,is it true your putting a sidecar on it for Manu..🤣🤣🤣..cheers Jason...👍
Thanks mate, yeah I’m a hypocrite as the scooters all have CVT but work great on bikes, just not a fan with them in cars. The ADV is fantastic, I loved the Xmax but the ADV is more refined 👍👍👍
Ripper video mate, I wish I could bring my 1987 VK Brock blue meanie lol, how cool would a 308 5 litre be roaring around there 🫣🤭 haha
No way…. You have a VK Group A???? Love these or any Brock, did my apprenticeship at Holden when the VK Group A came out and was lucky enough to test drive them after servicing them. Jeez mate that thing is worth a fortune, lucky man and yeah cruise down beach road in that would be just awesome and taking it to some car events 👍👍👍👍 Wow Wow Wow 🤩
Absolutely, but those are most likely city miles which are rough in vehicles anywhere.
👍👍👍
I can see why you love it here in Thailand
Yeah love it mate 👍
I have a 2019 Honda Civic and I agree. The CVT is a bit of a pain in the ass. But it does seem to work okay in my Honda.
Yeah Honda and Toyota both have the CVT’s working pretty good these days.
Thanks mate 👍
Hey Jason, very informative video i agree with your top 5 choices, thanks again Jason👍🙏
Thanks mate, how’s Vegas looking for F1 this weekend??? Wish I was going
@goodvibespattaya2423 Hey Jason,Yes they have all the roads blocked they are repaving the streets for the race, traffic nightmare right now. Big day Sunday!!
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Ticket prices are insane $1200 - $2500
Paddock zone $16,500 each ticket🤣🤣
@@JohnH33817 no way, that’s insane
Awesome info. Thanks !
Thank you, much appreciated and thank you for your support 👍
Steering wheel locked on me as well in the middle lane of a busy 3 lane road doing 80kph in a Kia Cerato, fortunately I managed to bring it to a stop safely. Dealer said the fuel pump stopped working and starved the engine causing the car to go into shutdown mode and made the steering wheel lock. Very frightening experience.
Fuel pump would cut the engine and therefore no power steering but in Ramon’s case the steering actually locked while the engine was still running 😩. Very scary 😱
Here in the States, I just bought a new 2023 Camry Le for $26,500 plus tax and license. Under the invoice price now. I see most people like white colored vehicles in Thailand
That sounds like a good deal on the Camry and yes white is the color I would want in Thailand.
Good choice mate and sounds like a good deal, white is the go here in this heat but most brands the white is pearl which is nice but it’s at an extra cost 👍
👍👍👍
Cheap well done fantastic choice here in Australia that car would be about 36 000 drive away
NZ here All the cars even over 100000km very nice interiors. Might be cheaper than here
Thanks mate, prices are pretty similar to Aus too 😊
Hi Jason🥳
I know not very much about cars or utes, but I do like my Triton Athlete 4x4. I drove many utes before purchase and the Ford was the best on the highway for ride comfort. Isuzu was the best for compartments and cup holders and Nissan had the best get up and go with throaty sounds😎. The Athlete had pretty much everything rolled into 1, but very much a "work truck" interior. So all in all it came down to the price and reliability of the Triton's history. I too would rate Toyota as top in field, but Triton really is too😎
G’day, thank you so much for sharing your experience plus your experience when checking out the various brands. The Triton is good and deserves to sell better here, the Thais love their Isuzus & Toyotas that’s for sure. Really appreciate this comment, it’s good for others reading in.
I believe the Isuzus are easy to update into "racing" mods and Toyotas are just that, Toyotas! I would much prefer a much older Toyota SR 5 with up to date suspension and drive train......, but this is coming from a guy who's favorite car is a '90 Ford Bronco with a '74 Ramcharger (- window frames) a close 2nd!😎🥳🥰
.......if you gave me a new Chevy and $10K I would pay you $12K to take it back🤣🤣🤣
@@IsaanSlowLife yeah that makes sense, wow both great cars! I take you are originally from the states?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Washington State
That was interesting.. A lot of small and medium big cars around the same price range. I hear you wouldn`t buy a Ford Ranger in Thailand, but I have had absolutely no issues with mine (2019, automatic). It has been very reliable and great to drive. Love it, actually 😉 Btw, in Norway they say "bensin" for gasolin too 😉
Hi Sarlina, awkward…. I have seen and heard of so many very bad ownership experiences, especially in Australia where the Ranger is at times the number one selling vehicle BUT there are major problems with many owners and Ford just cannot fix the problems and these are made in Thailand, many vehicles have been bought back by Ford as they just cannot fix them plus I know some Thais that work in the Ford factory here and they say “don’t buy one” but obviously they are not all bad and there are good examples like with everything. I would be interested to know how many kms you have travelled in the Ranger since new? Being a mechanic I have my own personal views and I am only suggesting vehicles that would suit expats with zero knowledge of cars that want trouble free motoring with zero issues and based on my experience and knowledge, Toyota and Isuzu are the go. Sorry if you are offended 😩
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Hi Jason 😊 I am not offended at all, and I have heard some have issues, so I do understand. I have 36.000 km on mine. I drive approximately 10.000 km a year. Only had regular services. What I like most, is the height above ground. That gives me good view of traffic, especially in a queue. I like that. We traded in our Toyota Fortuner for this one, because we needed the space in the back. I guess it's like that with all cars, you get attached to them after a while, and I'm really happy with mine 👍🙏😊
@@sarlina1 thank you 🙏 nothing pleases me more than hearing a positive ownership experience, this was engrained in me working for manufacturers all my life and the number one goal talking to dealers as it drives repeat purchases. Yes sitting up high in a SUV or pickup makes driving so much easier being able to see what is ahead, I’m definitely with you on that and something I miss driving Maxine!
I'm driving a suziki swift and honda 300l. Small car and bigger motorbike is best for me here. I like to haul groceries in the car, haul ass on the bike! ❤
Haha nice one mate, love it and both a good car and bike 👍👍👍
D Max is not just No.1 selling pickup it's the No.1 selling car on all categories
Yeah back when I made a video on the top 5 selling pickups early this year Isuzu was number one for 2022 👍👍👍
Hello jason , quite interesting about car prices there, used to have a older Honda civic here in Australia went from Brisbane to Darwin and back , never missed a beat , think I'd buy a M😂azda 2 if I was there , good in traffic , so you could pick up a nice car for around 400,000 baht , allways a interesting video, thanks Jason
G’day Dave, thanks for sharing mate, good cars Honda and yeah Mazda 2 definitely my pick and 400k will get you a good one 😊
Bought a Mazda 2 here (6 yr old now) and I absolutely love it. Nippy, great on the bends, parking easy, costs nothing for fuel, servicing cheap and got it at a decent price. Tested the other main sellers but I found the Mazda a way more refined drive 😍
@@djh. great choice mate for all the reasons you mentioned plus a proper auto 👍. Thanks for sharing 😊
Did any of them have a manual gearshift, or are they all auto/cvt? I'd prefer a manual with a small displacement engine.
None in the yard today but you can definitely get them quite easily and a good option 👍
Look for a Ford Fiesta manual.... Thai won't normally touch a ford car. So really great value. It's the auto box thats terrible...
I don't think the jazz is for sale in Thailand any more? It's now the horrible old' tech City
This video caused a question to pop up.
Here in the states we use credit cards for just about everything (rent, utilities, food, entertainment, etc). ...basically everything except loans and credit card payments, which we use the bank for.
What payment methods are typical for the different day to day/monthly expenses in Thailand.
Just trying to get expectations set before my move. Thx, Huck
Hi mate, mobile banking is used here by most people, every where you go they have QR codes and all you do is open the bank app on the phone, click on payments, scan pay and bingo. Also with 7-Eleven who don’t accept debit cards have an app that you link your debit card/account to and you scan pay. But you can use your Thai debit card in most places plus your American cards too 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Many thanks mate. Quick follow up...what about condo rent, utilities....Card or is it a direct pull from the bank?
Dinner and drinks are on me once I get there and settled.
Mitsubishi mirage all day every day
Yep good car that 👍
Love the car videos!!
Thanks mate, I enjoy making them 👍👍👍
You know your stuff mate anybody buying a car in Thailand should drag you a Long especially if it's second hand my God cars are pang pang in Thailand compared to Australia
Thanks mate, yep not cheap here unfortunately
I'd be looking for a Mazda to avoid CVT. Toyota are not as reliable as they once were
That’s my pick mate 👍
All these quoted prices Do Not include the 7% vat the dealer charges on second hand cars I presume ?
G’day, all the prices on the windows include the VAT
I agree with your car recomendations, ive rented toyota vios/yaris/honda brio amaze (simalar to jazz) nissan almera/ all been good cars, souless and characterless, the lot of them , i bought a ford focus"mk3" 2.0s (2013) 300000bht @ 80000kms, bangkok car,. all leather,, electric sunroof , brilliant sound system radio, xenon lights, led tail and drls, cruise control, electric mirrors, heated front,rear screens, 6 speed dual clutch auto with paddle shift, 17" low profile tyred alloys, rear spoiler, factory tinted windows, voice controls systems, hands free phone link, usb ports, etc,. Best and nicest car ive ever driven, better than my uk ford mondeo 2.2 tdci 6 speed manual titanium x sport,. boring japanese or engaging britishness, check out before you buy,.
Thanks mate, I hear what you are saying in terms of boring but for most expats a reliable cheap to run car might be favorable. I had a Mondeo diesel given to me as a company car for a couple of months and the dual clutch transmission shit itself and ford wouldn’t repair it even though just out of warranty and the quote to replace it was more than the car was worth. Your car sounds great, hope it doesn’t give you any trouble 👍
Hi . Great video. What do you think about mitsubishi g wagon 2003 ?thanks
Thanks, the G Wagon is called a Challenger in Australia and like most Mitsubishi product it’s a good car although from memory the petrol/gasoline engine was a bit thirsty, what engine is in yours?
Thanks for the reply.
The engine is 2.8 diesel. Not purchased yet just thinking about it.
Thanks 🙏
@@russellblake659 all good mate, definitely get the diesel 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Many thanks. Appreciate the advice 🙏
Please it is possible to have used tires in Thailand to export to Africa. Please answer me
Sorry I don’t know
I like the car and truck videos the
best.
I have a question?
If you buy from a dealer there is a 7 %vat
If you buy private is there also the same tax 7 % vat😊
Or not?
Thanks, when I bought Maxine from an expat in Pattaya I just paid the agreed price, no tax 👍
Yes l had some one tell me but private no vat 😊
I just purchased a brand new Toyota Ativ (sedan auto) in bangkok, best sellers. Bit tight in the garage with the Hilux now, but the Ativ is excellent value for money. I just can’t figure out the super high used car prices in thailand, with high klm.
Good choice mate, the used prices are crazy compared to new. Thanks for sharing Jay 👍
I'm from the UK and the prices are on par with UK very hard prices on second hand prices.
Good video, do Thai dealers negotiate on the pricing?
Thanks, they do a little but definitely not like back in Aus, here they think a 5000 baht discount is huge and generally they will just let you walk if you don’t agree to the price 😊
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I kind of figured that, but good to know. Thanks
@@BC19572 thanks mate 👍
Are dealer prices negotiable? How much are insurance?
They are but I can’t help you with insurance prices, too many variables
One category of cars that don’t hold their value in Thailand are Euro cars. Benz and BMW do to an extent, but VW, Volvo, Peugeot, Audi drop in value like a rock once they are out of warranty. The price of used Volvo S and V 60, S80’s, tempt me but figure must be a reason for low resale value?
Personally unless I had an unlimited budget I would not buy a euro car in Thailand, love them but just not a good choice if on a budget 👍
Aloha, great overview! How about beaters, stuff with faded paint and such but cheap prices. Just for going A to B. does that market exist Thanks
G’day Joe, yeah good idea. I will keep an eye out for any yards like this and think I know where some are in Si Racha 👍😊
The MG pickup not available yet in the UK
And in Australia it’s badged an LDV T60
Typically are dealers open to negotiation in Thailand?
Slightly but don’t expect big discounts, they would rather not sell it, even old stockers
Next year's rollout prices for 2024 MG Vibe are AU$24,990 (BHT 574,292) and the Essence AU$28,990 (BHT 666,215). So the price of that MG 5 car seems a little inflated, even allowing for its age especially given that the MG 4 is renowned as a better car overall.
Thanks mate, as mentioned in the video many of these used cars that are current models are not much cheaper than new which is crazy as there are no wait times if you buy new!
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Cheers. Forgot to thank you for the vid. Keep up the great work as I always look forward to watching, although I've only been viewing for about 6 weeks or so.
Love your Ritchie Benaud impressions when reading the prices. I do n OK Bill Lawry.😄

What about an Isuzu mux or Dmax especially with the flooding
Yeah definitely, I thought I did mention the DMax, they are the number one seller 👍
Have you reviewed an ThaiRung vehicles yet?
Not yet mate, I would like to and probably need to go to Rayong to find a dealer, good idea and thanks 👍
Jason, what’s your opinion on Honda s2000, 2.2l, 2006 & 2008, 9000ks & 15,000ks
Hi mate, sensational car to drive mate, as you know they rev to 9k and handle superb, love them. Wow good finds with such low kms 👍👍👍
Jason, what are your thoughts on vans in Thailand? We retire there in February and I've been getting around in one here in Aus for a couple of years and enjoy the utility. Been thinking about whether one would work for us in Thailand or not.
If you stick to Toyota Mazda or Honda all good preferably one owner full service history 3 or 4 years old take him with you give him a commission good for you not buy a lemon
Do you mean like a Toyota Hiace type van that you could potentially turn into a semi camper for travel? Great, nothing wrong with that 👍
Thanks 😊
@@goodvibespattaya2423, that's exactly what I was thinking. Something we could potentially put our bikes in the back and other gear as well as using it as our daily driver here and there. The Toyota Ventury looks to be an upgraded Hiace with an Auto. They don't look half bad.
@@intellectualgladiata awesome, just had a look on FB marketplace, I would love one too and be great for traveling plus fine as a daily driver 👍👍👍. Got me thinking now 🤔

James! China builds aircraft carriers, battle ships, missiles, submarines. So dont you think they can build a car??
Thanks mate, I don’t have a problem with Chinese manufacturing at all and their cars keep getting better and better so yes I think they can build a quality car and almost bought an MG recently 👍
Hey Jason o can't believe the prices of second hand prices especially with high milage on them. In uk if got high miles usually 10.000 miles per year not kilometers the second hand prices drop especially if over a 100 thousand miles they depreciate less than half price of new.
G’day Allan, yeah I know mate, used car prices are crazy and not much cheaper than new!!
Thanks mate
@@goodvibespattaya2423 always good content u put up Jason and to the point.. Cars with high milage in uk main dealers won't touch. They say only give u auction price. They won't sell on..
@@allangreenley9901 thanks mate, similar back in Aus but as mentioned in the video the big distances people have to drive put high kms on cars and as an area manager I regularly drove 70,000 kms a year
@@goodvibespattaya2423 just a quick comment Jason. In UK the best high mileage cars that really fetch big money are VW passatts especially 1.9 tdi. I don't know what u think about them but there the best car for high miles and only one that actually fetches good money with high miles
@@allangreenley9901 mate the Passat TDI is a great car and I actually worked for Volkswagen Australia for a number years and love their diesel’s and cars, not many in Thailand, see a few Caravelles but hardly anything else. Thanks mate

What is the finance situation like for an American
Unless you can prove income and all the normal expectations of finance companies or a Thai wife finance is not easy, pretty standard practices around the world when it comes to finance
I would have a hard time finding a parking spot over there for my truck. I have a GMC Sierra long box 2 Wheel Dr. with a cover on the bed. It’s a boat! I’ve had really good luck with it. It has a 5.3 L V8. I have 260,000 miles on it. But you have to park in the back 40. Because the thing is so big. I need the extra steps anyway. I don’t know what kind of vehicle I would purchase if I lived in Thailand, I like UAW built union vehicles. I live about three hours from Detroit. It saddens me that Ford didn’t design the Ranger better! I would probably have to buy a Toyota if I lived in Thailand, even though I despise foreign vehicles, most of them are not built UAW. I’ve been a union worker my whole life, so was my dad. It’s hard to break the union mentality. I wished everybody could be union then we’d have a voice in this world instead of the man running everything.
I would want some kind of a pick up truck that I could haul an Enduro motorcycle . And have a lift in the back for lifting the bike from the ground up into the bed of the truck. Not even sure if they sell those lifts over in Thailand. But I’m thinking a tundra with a lift in the back and maybe some of those fancy Pipe side rack kits around the bed of the truck. I plan on being in Thailand in late 2025. I’m planning on visiting several southeast Asian countries to make up my mind where I want to be just kind of slow travel for about six months to a year. Then return home and do the final sell everything deal. Then return to my favorite place. From the looks of things, it will probably be Thailand or the Philippines. It’s a tossup. I’ll pick Thailand just because of the food and infrastructure. Been studying and watching videos for quite some time. Now I got a general idea what I’m looking for. Hopefully I’ll find it! If not, I’ll still have my home to go back to. I’ll never sell my home. It’s in a spot where I can charge a decent amount for rent and pretty much live off the rent. My pension and Social Security will be just a benefit.
Thanks for the informative videos and your mechanical knowledge! This kind of information could save someone a huge amount of money, and a whole bunch of regret buying the wrong vehicle.
Thanks mate, appreciate you sharing this and yeah your truck here would be massive compared to everything else and I’m yet to see any full size American pickup trucks here, we only got RAM & Silverados in Australia a few years ago and the Aussies love them but they are expensive there. Putting an enduro bike in the back of a pickup & traveling sounds great and very enjoyable, I hope to do more traveling in Thailand next year.
Thanks again for the comment and your support, much appreciated 👍

Great video. Because I plan to buy a car in Thailand, do you have an opinion on a MG3, lots of offers for reasonable prices.
Thanks, I know someone that owns an MG3 and she said nothing has gone wrong with it at all and they are good value second hand 👍
Thanks for your fast reply. May I add another question about MG: I know these are Chinese cars, but build in Thailand. Should I expect problems with repair or spare parts? Probably will drive less than 6.000 kilometer a year. I am just wondering why there are so many offers for MG3s (or even CS) way under prices for comparable cars (Toyata/Mazda/Honda). There is an old German saying: if you buy cheap, you buy twice 😊
@@schmidtsonic some people I know have said no problem with service or repairs, there are many dealers here but they stop selling the MG3 now and only second hand but yes cheaper than Japanese brands. Personally if you can afford it, buy a Mazda or Toyota
thanks again for giving your opinion @@goodvibespattaya2423
Hi Jason, would like to draw on your experiences again (so hard to decide what to buy when you are not an expert): your opinion on Ford Ecosport? I know it‘s no longer manufactured, any known problems with repair or spare parts?
What's your opinion of Hyundai vehicles sold in OZ.
Mate can’t go wrong, excellent cars and I worked for Kia Australia for a number of years and as you may know they are one and the same in Korea just different styling etc. seriously a good brand and car 👍

Do they sell the trailblazer over there?
No new Chevs mate, I think I had seen some on the roads but not many
Pickup or suv nothing else in thailand
Yep, I will eventually get either at some stage 👍👍👍
Mate Mazda 2..alot of road nose .You obviously haven't driven one..??
I just bought a 2016 Mazda 2 diesel, seams okay in terms of road noise 😊
@goodvibespattaya2423 ..Seriously...I worked at a Mazda and Toyota dealerships here in Australia..One thing you could never do was take a Mazda 2 out on the highway..which was a bit hard as the dealership was on the edge of town..?
@@johneverett6751 it’s a used car and much cheaper than a Yaris plus diesel is cheaper here and has a 6 speed auto and not a horrible CVT
Good to know about Chevy!
Mate I love American Chevs, Camaro, Corvette, Silverado and all the good stuff just not what they made here and now no longer and no dealers
@goodvibespattaya2423 well it was worth a try 😆
Hi Jason, how's about EV car in Thailand? Can you do a Video ? Thanks, Mate.
Hi Sam, yeah I will be and have already been to a BYD dealer and filmed pricing but need to go to the others and then I can upload, thanks mate 👍
Try European EV car companies like VW, Tesla, MB, etc. thank you.
With so many charging stations in Pattaya city now. (think its 33 and all the hotels with their) Is it any Tesla dealers there? Or maybe only in Bangkok?
Haven’t seen a Tesla dealer in Pattaya, probably BKK
From what I’m hearing in Australia don’t touch the MG. They are lined up 20 deep at most dealers in Aust awaiting warranty repairs. Typical of most Chinese’s manufactured good. Total crap.
Thanks for that, I might sneak around the service departments at some MG dealers and other Chinese brands and see what I can see 👍👍👍
Very canny
👍
I'd rather catch the baht bus than drive a Chinese tofu-dreg MG.
lol 😂
Don’t buy a Chevy in the states either
I would love a corvette though 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 corvettes are a different class of car 🤤
@@Bigsky1886 yeah they sure are 👍
Idk how to drive hahah
Come on mate, I can teach you how 👍
Just buy a TESLA
Do you live in Thailand?
No I live in America but I live Thailand and your videos. Trust me when I say just buy a Tesla, buy there stock too
Dont buy a car that has over 100,000 km already because its when the problems start, best buy is around 50,000 to 60,000 km, over 150,000 km walk away
Thanks mate, good advice 👍👍👍
Brv vs. veloz vs. extender vs stargazer? 🙏🤣🤣🤣. All three row SUVs with small engines and small price tags.🫣
Thanks Kev, you know your stuff 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 thanks Jason, I was originally going to include an apology for mentioning 4 cvt's🤦🤣🤣🤣
