Buying a scooter/motor bike

[Ranger2000]

Hi Guys,

 

I was wondering what the going rate is to buy a good used motorbike/scooter in pattaya?

 

Can you please advise.

 

Also whaer is the best place to pick one up from?

dont buy USED the pitfalls that come with used are serious,try and buy new.

 

who was that guy on here who wrote up about used moto's ?, the Thai idea of a recon engine is a new coat of black paint.

 

im sure you cant insure anybikes over a certain age,maybe a year for theft.

A brand new Honda Wave 110i will only cost you 38,000baht so it's better to buy new than used as someone already mentioned some don't take care of their bikes, change oil or service.

Good luck

if your there for a holiday,why buy one? you can reny one for about 150 baht a day on most streets

I spent a lot of time looking into this and the decision became very clear that you are by far best to buy new.

 

Some of th eprices they want for secondhand bikes are not far off the new price.

 

I stopped to look at a fino the other day and they wanted 37,000 baht for it to which I said is there any discount as a new one is only 44,000. The lady just turned her nose up at me.

I think you will probably find that prices come down outside of Pattaya... maybe somewhere like Satahip?

I think a used scooter is fine. Dont let people tell you how bad the service is here as it is very good. I purchased a 2005 nuovo for 14000 baht and have only done general maintenance in 6 months...

You are far better off buying new if you can afford it, the Honda Wave 110i starts at around B34,000. Used Scooters are around B20,000 for a 3 year old bike. Stick with the four major Japanese brands, avoid the cheaper Chinese bikes.

There are so many shops but you don't know who is good or who is bad. This guy helped me just recently get a good quality one. I was going to rent but he advised me of a shop he uses. He's a poster here and I renting from him before and such he's an honest straight forward guy. I'd try to get advice from him (and if I were you I'd listen to his advice).

After just buying a new Kawasaki KSR for 68,000 on road still on red plate and spent another 9000Baht on mods i have now decided this bike isn't for me so it is for sale with less than 500km on the clock!

 

Any offers?
