2007 Ford Focus

[Gary 4,100]

This is the top of the line Ghia model with an automatic transmission. I paid 939,000 baht for it new from Loei Ford. It is a 1.8 liter engine and it uses E20 fuel. It is loaded with many standard, normally options on cheaper models, and automatic temperature control. That means it has a heater and windshield defroster. It is a beige color with a matching beige leather interior. The rear seats fold forward to make a huge storage area. I have lowered the price to a firm 300,000 baht. It has 42,000 kilometers on it and most of that was put on with trips back and forth from Loei to Jomtien. Never any accidents except the front spoiler that totally spoiled a dog's day. That damage has been repaired.

 

I'll be in Jomtien the first week of May if anyone is interested in seeing it and test driving the car. I need a truck much more than I need a car. It is a four door sedan.

$31,000 for a new Ford Focus. Who said Thailand is a cheap place to live?

 

Asking 1/3 of what you paid on it with only 42,000 km on it is cheap.

The Thais are a lot like lemmings. They form their opinions and all follow together. Concerning cars, if it is not a Toyota or Honda, it is no good. Trucks are the same. When Fords and Mazda were coming out of the same factory, Mazda was good and Ford was bad. When Chevy and Isuzu were made in the same factory, Isuzu was number one and Chevy was no good. If you try to explain that those trucks were the same mechanically and used the same parts, they will absolutely NOT believe you. I know this for a fact, my Thai wife knows EVERYTHING and another Thai told her so knows that she is right. Having had no problems with the car since it was new has not convinced her that it is a good car.

Gary I know exactly what you are are talking about as my wife is the same. If I was living back in Thailand and was in the market for a car this looks like a great buy. Good luck with the sale.

It's not really a big deal if I sell the car or not. It's a lot more comfortable driving the car down to Jomtien than driving my pickup. Up here out in the Boonies, I'd rather drive the truck but my wife farms and she always needs the truck for something. I have a friend who I like to visit and his road is so bad that I have to take the motorbike or the truck. The car just sits too low.

I think that if you sell this car you will later wish that you hadn't.

Is your car still for sale?

[Gary 4,100]

I have decided to keep it because it is worth far more than I can get for it. I am in Jomtien now and driving the car makes for a far more comfortable trip than a truck.

 

Thanks for the interest.
