When you get an "interest" rate on a loan in Thailand don't expect that you can relate it to a western interest rate. In the rest of the world the total amount of interest you pay will drop if you pay off the loan early. In Thailand it should really be called a loan arrangement fee of x% of the loan amount with a 0% interest loan

We used to call this flat rate interest when i sold cars in my youth, as distinct from reducible, it became illegal to quote in oz a long time ago

used car and truck prices here are ridiculous.. My nephew's sister-in-law found a used truck on-line at a local dealer. The asking price was 160K.. They went and put 10K baht down on it sight unseen.. Neither he nor his sister-in-law could tell me exactly how old the truck was, other than "it's old" nor how many kilometers were on the clock.. The nephew asked me to take him to see the truck so we drove up on the Nong Khai highway to the dealer. It was a 16 year old Isuzu that had 450,000 kilometers, was beat up, dirty, and had a pile of trash in the bed.. I took one look at this bald-tired, piss-poor excuse for transportation and told him he shouldn't waste another satang.. He lost the 10K deposit... Oh, BTW, he's 54 years old, doesn't have a license, has never driven a truck or car but feels he "needs" to have one...

If you going to buy a 2nd hand vehicle just call the insurance company and ask how much they will insure it for. That's at least a maximum starting point for the price to be paid.

Here's a link to the Thanachart "Blue" book which is in Thai and is basically a search tool to find specific vehicles that are for sale. So, while its not an even-handed approach it should give you an idea what asking prices are for used vehicles. http://www.thanachartbluebook.com/index.asp
