What a rip off. 329k for a 14 year old pickup. You can a 5 year old one for same price.
Older cars that are 10 000 usd still here might cost a 1000-3000 USD in Europe.
I'm in Udon Thani and I want a Used European Car on a budget. These newer cars all look the same and have no style. A 30 year old volvo RWD or Mercedes would be much better and more reliable too. 48 years in the Automobile industry in USA. Retired now.
Thanks for sharing mate, we have a lot in common 👍
Jason If your out doing car and truck videos can you look at a few Ford's and I love Top Gear binge watch all the time Jeremy Clarkson is the man😊
Great, yep love Top Gear and Jeremy is a legend 👍. Okay I will try to find some second yards with Rangers
A big share of cars have their odometer tampered. Even a new Pajero Sport 2021 was tampered. Costs little to change the millage and can charge more.
Thanks 😊
Yep. 2006 car with only 200,000 kns is suspicious AF. I would never buy a used car in Thailand unless they can provide a full service history of the car from the center.
Those prices are very high. That Nissan Almera 2012 goes for no more than about 100,000 to 120,000 on the used market. And dammmmm 219,000 for that 2006 Honda civic?! That’s worth no more than about 130,000 !
Crazy high prices for very average cars 👍
Avoid tents and dealers. They charge 7% tax VAT plus excessive transfer charges. Plus fake millage oftentimes
Appreciate your knowledge of the Thai market 👍
Having bought multiple cars in Thailand.. there are some rules and oddities her diff from the West. should write a guide.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
BIG $$$ at that car yard.... OMG LPG (no thanks). If they dont show mileage that will have HUGE Miles on them
I cannot work out why used cars here are priced so high, there are next to know wait times for run of the mill stuff, crazy
The Hilux Diesels are the ones to buy, they offered you $10k USD for your Hilux? your truck definitely should have an airbag
They sure are Batman, no they offered 150,000 Baht or just over US$4k. I will put an original steering wheel on it one of these days 👍
Been here permenantly since 2006/7. DO NOT. buy cars from car yards/dealers or Thais. Buy privately from foreigners. (preferably not Russians)
Clocking here is a sport, caught out a few dealers from checking in the Service Manual. One particular car had lost 100,000kms somewhere !!!
Average Thai Joe only waxes and polishes their cars, Servicing is a bit like Red traffic lights, its only an option 😂😂😂.
In my 17 years here only had 3 cars 2 Hondas and a Mazda CX-5, all bought private from Western Expats. No troubles whatsoever.
Thanks mate, this is great advice - I bought Maxine from an Expat and the car is spot on 👍
better wheels on that Accord and manual, like that, automatic, not so much
cars there, spendy, wow
nothing beauty about any Nissan, much less a March, lol
Couldn't agree more 👍
I wonder how many are flood cars? It seems to flood a lot in Thailand? How do you know if they have been flooded? Seems like having a truck is a must there?
I was thinking the same ting. Flooded cars with water in the electric system. 😵
Plenty, I know how to check being a mechanic, lift up door sill moulds & carpet plus plenty of other tell tale signs, easy for me but not so easy for non car people and can easily get a bad previously flooded car
Love ure vids mate ...its time for u to get a Sheila ,cmon mate ,weve seen all your cars vids, condo vids ..but honestly ,u seem like a nice human , so u got a Sheila ??
Thanks mate, haha maybe but too busy for a Sheila and the last thing I need is a chick getting jealous if I’m out looking at properties with another female agent 😩. They can be quite possessive 😂
I reckon he offered you 105,000 baht for Maxine
150,000 but that was subject to a full blown check over so I reckon they would make stuff up and the end price would be around that
Second hand cars are so expensive in thailand 🙏🙏
They are mate, crazy
Offered you B80,000? That's my guess...they always buy low and sell high!
150,000 Baht, not too bad
With taxis so cheap,I wouldn't bother with a car.
Okay 👍
Smart play. Taxi's super convenient
Great info thank you ...
Thanks for watching and being a supporter of the channel 👍👍👍
8000
what's the cost of operating 'christine', per month; all in gas/insurance/maintenance?
I’ve only had Maxine for 4 and bit months and it was serviced and new tyres when I bought it so it is just fuel and I don’t drive the car daily so unfortunately mate I can’t really tell you, I spend about one tank per month or 2200 Baht roughly
@@goodvibespattaya2423 thank you.
Interesting side segment. Nice to know you can buy a used Pick-up in Thailand for a reasonable price. In America a used pickup will go for $20k+. I think it would be a cool segment to see how BYD cars are going for in Thailand. I hear the Chinese have dealerships there. For the price of some of those used vehicles you could pick up a BYD for about the same price NEW!
Thanks, even new Toyota, Isuzu, Nissan, Mazda pickups are better value than conventional cars, MG are here with pickups and BYD are really pushing big time, lots of dealerships under construction 👍
I’m guessing they offered you 220000 tbt
Nah, 150k
Used car salesmen! The same the world over. They’d probably sell it for double that!
mistook the "Megahome" in the background for a "Bunnings", same colour scheme.
Lol 😂 yeah just like bunnings without the sausage sizzle 👍
Maybe an Aussie should introduce it !
@@robertmallac8398 hahaha 🤣
G'day Jason. Been a while since i've commented. The prices do seem pretty steep, just like they are in AUS at the moment. Great vid mate. Take care mate. Dave.
Hey Dave, hope all is well mate. Yes prices really should not be this high as there are no real wait times for delivery like in Aus, I can’t figure out why they are so expensive
Silver sure is the color of choice in Thailand. I can honestly say I am so glad I never have to blend another Toyota or Honda silver again 555. Hilux diesel would be my choice, I wouldn't have to think twice about it. I like the lower profile of the DMAX for getting in and out of the truck, that's a bonus for me. Your timing on these videos is great, I was hoping to see some more used cars or trucks to get an idea for transportation in the future. Thanks Jason.
Lol 😂 blending silver would be a pain, I see many two tone silver cars here that have had a hit & been painted. Hilux or DMax diesel is definitely the go, wish Maxine was diesel but it would have been much more expensive. Thanks mate 👍
Well mate doing another great video ,Showing the second hand car market and what you pay in Thailand such a in-depth run down on all you showed Well mate done it again
Thanks mate, prices are in my opinion too high given there are no lengthy delays for new cars, they are all built here!! Appreciate your support as always mate, thank you 🙏
Great subject Jason. I’ve just got my self a 2019 Yaris. 399000 Baht. Why? Well, it’s a Toyota, a brand I can trust. It has 50000 k’s. It’s well looked after. The dealer speaks English and I felt relatively safe in their hands. When I picked it up it had gone through a complete inspection and all fluids etc were replaced. 4 brand new tyres were fitted. I’m happy and it goes well. Apart from the cvt, which works.
I found the Facebook market place a gem for cheap cars, mainly from Ferangs going home.
Keep going Jason
Thanks mate, Yaris is great and you did well plus having all the fluids & tyres changed, it will go forever. Yes I said I don’t like CVT but I drove a Yaris and it was the best out of all of them and I may end up with one myself after Maxine 👍
Used cars are very expensive in that part of the world. I bought a 40k miles Yaris ( loaded )5 years old for 4200 pounds UK and a 3 year old Camry in US with 34k miles for $12300. I guess an electric bike is better as I can't ride a motor bike in Thailand.
Yes they are, thank you for sharing Judy 🙏🙏🙏
The G is for the trim level. They have a G - V - Z models.
G,X, S not Z
Ahh thanks, yes I forgot Maxine is a G but have seen so many on CNG filling up but maybe they actually have a CNG badge, totally forgot
Jason, exactly the video I wanted to see!!! Best channel on Thailand.
Thanks mate, appreciate you saying that 👍👍👍
Buying 2nd hand is always dearer from a dealer. Totally agree that the CRVT transmissions are nothing but trouble & best to stay away from. Should show that Nissan March to Cooper as it will match a certain persons shower cap. Kermit green😝🤣 I'm guessing he offered 240k for Maxine as dealers always go on the cheap when buying stock. Thanks for the walk around Jas. 😉
Thanks mate, haha 😂
They offered no where near that for Maxine, just like back in Aus, they want to steel it…. -150k
@@goodvibespattaya2423 555 Car salesmen. Same, Same everywhere🤣🤣
Nice Jas, and good rundown of used cars! I would have to go CIVIC just because of the great permutation they have. However, having a small pick up might be ideal when moving around.
Thanks mate, Civic is a great car and yeah pickups are handy but not as comfortable 👍
I think the prices on used cars in Thailand has come way down over the last 20 years....probably mainly due to the advent of the online age.....previously we were all at the hands of the dealer!!!! And not so much private sales.
As for the CVT, I bought in 2006 a honda Jazz CVT new and she was a dream machine but at around 100K she would disengage at idle and become clunky.......after tooling around on various forums I found that a few recommended not following the Honda CTV fluid change interval of 40K.......I changed mine immediately at the which was 20K past the 80k and problem went away.....I'm now on 255K and she's doing fine.....om two occasions she had a bit of a clunk before the 20K interval so I replaced the fluid a few thousand k's early. Also got a 26 year old hilux ute which I bought around 2008/9 and still goes okay :)
Thanks mate, appreciate you sharing your experience, especially on CVT’s and hugely important to change the transmission oil at the recommended intervals 👍
Top Gear was a long time long running fun show for sure, Chris Harris is more my fave,,,,, more realistic cars are still expensive,, fun tour, much thanks for this,,,, still way expensive really, wow
Thanks mate, yeah cars are not cheap and I just cannot understand why locally made second hand cars hold there value, it’s not hard to buy new and next to no wait times, weird
Mike's car yard is the best they would have offered you about 100k maybe even less maxcine is a plum
Yeah I have been there and good cars & staff, Maxine is great and they offered me 150k which shocked me. Thanks mate
Another great video and I think 'Maxine' is a perfect car for a Farang. A great car for loading and shopping and especially if you move to a different condo, a great vehicle. Did you ever mention how much 'Marxine ' cost? was it a lot cheaper than what they were at the dealership?
Thanks mate, I paid 175,000 baht for the old girl and it has been great 👍
Hi jas love your videos and walk arounds bet they offer shit price as they asking gold for there cars and want to get rich over night 😂 but keep maxi as she's gorgeous take care buddy
Thanks mate they offered 150k baht which is higher than I expected but they didn’t really check Maxine over and I’m guessing if I actually wanted to sell it to them the price would change.
Thanks mate and appreciate your support 👍🙏🙏
The excise tax structure for automobiles in Thailand is determined by several variables, including body style, carbon dioxide output, engine displacement, ethanol fuel compatibility and the inclusion of eco-friendly technology.
Nevertheless, the Thai government considers pickups essential to their economy and people and therefore tax trucks at a much lower rate then cars.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this 🙏🙏🙏
I heard cars in Thailand r more expensive cuz of the import 💰💰💰
Spot on Nate, 300% on imports and individuals cannot import a car. Take care mate 👍
Considering the 12 year old Hilux is450000baht isn't even 1000000baht new so sometimes it's best to buy a new Toyota and only loose 10%in it's first or second year
Agree 100% mate, exactly 👍
The used car market over in Thailand is expensive. Oh well mean When I come over next year I will not drive.
Fair enough mate, appreciate your feedback 👍
Looking at getting reliable second hand car when I move over in a couple of months it would be great to have someone with your experience to help look for a car mate I’d look after you for your time cheers talk later hopefully will be moving to jomtien area in October great video as always have a great day
Okay, thanks David 👍
Clarkson and the boys are the best show ever.... Even his Farming show is fantastic
Yeah exactly mate 👍👍👍
Good vid Jas, Agree on CVT horrible I think only mazda have normal auto boxes.
Thanks mate, yep only Mazda have a proper auto 👍
I enjoy learning about the cars thru your experience. I like top gear too.i think Maxime was a great deal.
Thanks, appreciate it 👍
Used car prices touch over the top the way it is in Thailand go with the flow.
They are mate
I notice the guy was taking pictures of the inside…555
😂😂😂 me
You’d remember the start clutch issues with Honda’s first CVT’s Haha.
CRV rear diff were even worse.
I do mate, I was an area service manager for Honda Australia when they had all those issues in 2000 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I’ve lost count of all the Accord auto’s I had to rebuild whilst still under warranty.
5k don't get you much.
Yep, sweet FA 😩
I will have to go back and find the video about Maxine, i don't recall the price. I am going to pretend that throughout the whole beginning of the video i was excited for you to get to that green car and then you didn't like it LOL.
can you fit Max in the back of Maxine? That would make long out of town trips nice....AC all the way there and then a bike to get around the destination more easily.
great video and thanks for the look at affordable cars!
Thanks Matt, I will save you the time and tell you I paid 175,000 baht for Maxine. Yes Max does fit in the back but yet to put it the back and travel, one of these days 👍👍👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 oh wow! Nice deal! Maxine looks way better !
I do like the old school Accord

American in Taiwan over 50 years old, learning to drive on the wrong side of the road, probably should not be driving there, haha
That would be a great car, haha the wrong side of the road… I spent a month in the states and had to drive on the wrong side of the road, not easy 😊

I guess you didnt ask how much for the mazda 2 .. im looking at either the madza2 or sukuzi swift .. but it will be a bike first..
The Mazda 2 wasn’t for sale but brand new they are doing deals on the 2022 as they just launched the face lifted 2023👍. That’s my pick due to the transmission
You’re better off with a Toyota Vios or Honda Jazz. Yes the horrible CVT but I can assure you that the Toyota will outlast the Mazda and depreciation will be less.
Hey Jas. Nice vid. I haven’t been in the market for a car for a while but the prices in the vid seem similar-ish to Oz mate. Those 4WD utes do look nice though. All seem to have pretty high mileage too. Like you said, might be worth buying private if possible 👍
Thanks mate, yep prices are up there and when I left Aus last year used car prices were crazy due to stock shortages and wait times, don’t understand why they are so high here 🤔
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Hey Jas. Yeah, wait times are up to a year and sometimes more for some cars. Maybe, like you say, it is the high demand and short supply. Some nice looking cars though mate 👍
In the 17 years here second hand prices have come down a fair bit, they used to be crazy. But today they're still ridiculous compared to the UK, near double the price.
You got a great deal on Maxine!
Yeah it’s a great old girl 👍
Mazda Cx5 all day long. Get a 2.2 AWD turbo diesel, fantastic economy and plenty of power. I removed the DPF and had the ECU remapped. 6Lt/100km and 230kmp/h great handling and comfort.

What's gas in car terms? Aren't they just another word for petrol?
Yeah exactly right 👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Oh and you mentioned that they aren't as good? As compared to what sort of cars? Thanks!
@@dd-dd2co sorry to confuse you, I’m an Aussie and we call cars on natural gas “gas” hear and other parts of the world call petrol “gas”

@@dd-dd2co sorry mate, just to really confuse things, the cars that are factory LPG have a CNG badge however in Thailand a G badge on a Toyota is the trim level, clear as mud 😩
A good way is to look up the Car of year for whatever budget you can afford.They won that award for a reason.
Good point, my advice is buy Toyota or Honda here 👍
1st?
Haha yeah 👍👍👍 thanks mate
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I also loved top gear. Have you watcher Clarkson’s farm? Its very entertaining
