Why is it?

[bbigman21]

I know this is common and has happened to me hundreds of times here. But this time I am so torqued that I need to vent. I am trying to sell things before I go. Right now working on the truck. About a year ago we are looking for trucks. I wanted to buy a used truck. Because the family would be using it. And the g/f needed to learn how to drive. We looked at several trucks but did not like any of them.(Of course all picked out by family) So anyway I had a list of what I wanted but all the other cars were missing something. Like I wanted a four door cab they would bring a cab and a half. Things like that. When finally the brought one around that was acceptable. It needed some repair. Tires and such. But it was a 2002 and they wanted 320,000 for it. So I said I didn't want it. Family and GF pressured me into it. I don't know how many times I have heard the excuses why it is so expensive when we buy it. And when we go sell why we have to sell it so cheap. So now a year goes by, guess what she wants to sell it for? Put 8,000 kilo on it got a new set of continental all terrain tires. No accidents.

[kingwilly]

110,000 ?

[bbigman21]

I want more guess's but is that what you think it's worth?

[Davis Knowlton]

I know that if it's got tits or tires, it will cost ya.

do you think it was possible that the real price was 270,000 and they took the 50,000

quite likely judging by your story so far

Oh fuk all I could have bought five times the truck in the US for the same price.

I am sure it would not be a reach. But were does all the money go? I am not joking I have spent several million on them and they don't have shit. Still live like animals.

[good2bhappy]

^ how much would have been the shipping cost and the tax?

Defo sounds like a rort from the OP. After a little stint looking into the Thai used car market I decided buying new from the factory was the only way to go over here.

[bbigman21]

I am not sure but using the following as a example. I had a friend send me some stuff from my house in the states. A pair of shoes, 2 pair of jeans,3 big books, and so misc. Crap that came out to 20 kilo. It was a hundred some bucks to send it. Then they called me from BKK to come and open it. All of it was used. I had to pay 15,000 to get it. Gangsters all of them!

[9999]

Oh yeah my guess is 200K. They're trying to fuk you on both ends.

[Thetyim]

guess what she wants to sell it for?

200,000 baht

[Jack meoff]

250,000

[bbigman21]

I got to tell you if I get 200k I would be happy but this is not going in the right direction.

[Davis Knowlton]

80,000

[baldrick]

it has probably been used a security for loans that have been spent on gambling and Lao Khow

If the truck is in their name, you're fucked. Just take what you can get for it and leave it at that.

If it's in your name, then you will have to do the leg work yourself unless you know of a trustworthy local who will help.

If it was me, I'd make sure it fucked up in a few weeks time and lost your ex's family some face.

Sugar in the fuel maybe?

[bbigman21]

Yeah maybe gambling. My GF wanted a store so there was a supply of the lao kao. Which is another story.

Trying to get what I can for everything I can sell. I know I am fuked. Just trying to hang on here to get what I can. Pretending to not see what I am seeing. Shit getting a little silly here. Lot of fighting.

[aging one]

That is where you got taken. They do hold their value but not to that extent. If it is Isuzu its because its the year they went to the D Max, the same chasis and all as the Chevy Colorado. But the price was way to high for a 8 year old truck that needed tires.

Better get back 300,00 since you put the new tires and only 8,000k. If not you know you were taken by your inlaws and sadly by your wife.
Bummer as this one I could not keep my mouth shut on, Hope you can keep it all together. Good luck.

[9999]

What make / model? Could be a bargain to be had (if they're not fucking you).

Go on then...

I am right with Marmers on this one. I think you need to think about more than the truck. Again best of luck.

[dirtydog]

Buying cars and trucks in Thailand is a mugs game, public transport is so cheaper anyway, my car is 10 years old, done 80k km, probably last another 30 years at this rate.

[ltnt]

Sorry for the bad luck/poor decision making. In case you didn't know it before you bought the used (No.2 Thai terms) PU, the seller payed your wife's family no less than 3% off the top of the sales price of 320K. Standard finders fee here.

I don't want to sound to critical, but I figure they(gf family) probably have a deal for you already that includes two pigs, 12 chickens and a brand new Farang boyfriend for your girlfriend once you exit stage right.

You're exit value is not more than 30,000Baht and you get to keep the old worn out tires.
