Nothing against the VW Passat Dalt, but for that sort of dosh you could pick up a brand new Mitsubishi Triton, diesel. Parts easily obtainable, local service no problem, limited 5 year warranty. Surely a much more practical choice in Isaan.

I know, but I need a sedan.. It's for driving from Bkk to Buri-Ram on regular basis.

I do not agree with that, the Passat Tdi is a smooth car with enough torque for overtaking and can be pretty fast too. Saves on fuel price too.

^ I will know on Sunday, if that one is sold or to slow, then I'll go for a 2.3 V5 Passat. But it's really the fuel economy I'm looking for, and there the TDI is the winner.

You can pick up a Camry for that price.

I would love a Passat but only somewhere that I knew I could get the parts with out being raped.

Thats true, but I have a problem with head-room in the Camry, a friend of mine in Bkk have one, and I need to lay the seat down quite a lot, and I dont like that driving position very much

Wouldn't a 2-3 year old Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, or Mazda 3, be around 600 000?

Parts dirt cheap everywhere, your neighbour's son will be able to fix it for ten baht and a bottle of Leo.

Edit: Sorry, didn't know you're 2.5 metres tall. That does complicate things.

Hi

Just an update on the situation
I went to Bkk yesterday to have a look at the car and take it for a spin, it's a 2003 model but all in the car, like the seats, buttons, everything was like new, it has only one owner from new, according to the green book, and 165.000km on the clock. The engine sounded smooth and it was wonderful to drive, really good power so I think that it's the 130hp engine there is in it, plenty of room for me as well, so after some negotiation we got the price down to what I thourght was fair, some might think it's to much when you compare to the 2.3 V5 Passat they are around 420K-500K, but the mileage isent very good.
Thanks to the people who helped answer my questions.
