IS THE HILUX CHAMP EURO 5 ???
Ill never understand how these cars in Thailand with 150k on average on them and sitting up to 10 years old still think they can garner 60% to sometimes 70% of the original value - ITS INSANE. If you don't buy a car in the "sweet spot" only a couple years old with low km/miles...your f#@1ked - Research is King. Thanks again for your help navigating this economic madness Jason
Exactly mate, the price they are asking for these second hand high km average condition cars is crazy, just crazy! Anyway it appears that may change a little with the massive swing towards EV with the Thais and cheap finance, as I mentioned one used dealer I spoke to said his stock just isn’t selling because it’s harder to obtain finance on a used over a new
You’ve one of the best channels bro. I enjoy these car vids as well as the real estate vids that you put out.
Thanks man, appreciate you saying that 👍👍👍
I am living in Mueang Chonburi and own a BYD Atto 3. The Atto 3 has driven almost 40,000 km in one year without any issues. As I have a 10 kw solar system at home, running the car is almost free.
Thank you so much for sharing this, fantastic mate and great for everyone to know plus the solar at your home, very good and also good to know the BYD has had no problems, 40,000 km in a year is a fair amount of driving. What’s the average range per charge ?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 On average we drive 450 km per charge. We drive frequently from Chonburi (1 hour East of BKK) to Nakhon Pathom (1 hour west of BKK) and back on 1 charge and still have 100 km remaining,
Hi Jason. We drive a 94 Jeep Cherokee Renegade and have converted it to an overlanding car for the weekends in Colombia. We are moving to Thailand near you and are really enjoying learning all about the area from your videos. We are thinking about a Hilux!
Nice, thanks for sharing and weekends sound like fun. Sounds good and you can’t go wrong with a Hilux or DMax 👍
Hey Jason, Another great youtube video. Enjoyable watch with lots of good information. 10/10. Keep up the great work Buddy!
Thanks mate, really appreciate it and your support & comments 👍👍👍
I can vouch for the Toyota Ativ, I purchased new in August 2023 new and added to the garage collection . excellent value and a huge seller in BKK. More than enough power to get you around the city. Toyota offer great service.
Excellent, thank you for sharing your experience, definitely can’t go wrong with Toyota 👍👍👍
When I lived in the States i had a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee fully loaded with all bells and whistles which I drove to all the lower states before I retired. I still have a 2022 Audi A3 S-line Premium black edition there, and man was that care fast and even had the launch control option. Took the Audi out on the country roads every week at speeds over 130mph.
Wow awesome, A3 probably has the 180kw motor???
Hi Jason, I will say it again I believe you have found your niche in the Pattaya RUclips market with the auto videos. Every vlogger in Pattaya seems to be on about Ladyboys walking street and Street walkers see one and you have seen them all .I still think your subscribers are going to greatly improve Well done mate
Thank you mate, really appreciate you saying that, means a lot to hear that 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Good video Jason. I have a message from Ruby Red: “If you keep calling me piglet I’m going to break down and you’ll cry”. 👍👍👍
Thanks mate, ohhh 😮
Hey Jason,Awesome video some great looking cars and trucks like you I do like the corolla cross premium 👍nice little car.Thanks for your hard work 👍🙏
Thanks mate, small compared to your yank tanks 🤣
No HLG!
Nice one Jase.
I drove a Yaris sedan hire car in Chiang Mai late last year and the CVT was atrocious on the hills. Almost undrivable. Those new cheapo Hiluxes could be a game changer.
Cheers Simon
Thanks to you mate, appreciate you letting me know it’s fixed!
Yep, CVT…. I have shared my opinion many times in videos last year and got crucified in the comments hence saying as a runaround town car they are okay.
The Champs are pretty interesting and definitely cheap 👍
Jay bloody blinding video mate. Thanks so much for doing that one mate really enjoyed it. I am ok with a mention of my first name if I can come up with a decent suggestion next time that you are happy with if that's ok with you mate and appreciate your confidentiality without approval but would love a shout out . Car prices are crazy out there. It's a major dilemma whether to buy new or used. I have heard a rumour that if you keep driving diesels on a short journey the catalytic converter suffers or something of that nature, are you able to advise on this as will most likely doing short trips when I move out there. Thanks for mentioning Phoenix mate loved it. So a seat and half passenger seat is available on the Champ and in theory you can get 2 small thais to fit is that right. Many thanks Jay personally this one was one of my favourites and thank you so much keep up the great work
Thanks mate, yes I will definitely give Nigel a shout out, maybe in the next car video. Used car prices are crazy high but they may start to come back as dealers are struggling to sell old overpriced stock since the EV boom last year where the EV brands were and still are offering very attractive finance offers on brand new cars and I was told, plus finance is harder to obtain on used cars with higher interest rates.
Okay so with diesel’s - they all have a DPF which stands for Diesel Particulate Filter just like a car converter, the engine management system does periodic DPF cleans, well it actually heats up the DPF to burn build up hence you may have noticed when following cars they might blow thick black smoke for a small amount of time, this is the DPF burn. Diesel’s are fine for short distance city driving and the odd country drive will also help 👍
Thanks mate, the Champ is a cracking pickup 😊
Great video Jasun! Just offloaded my gas guzzler. 07 4Runner 8cyl with ARB bull bar and Old Man Emu lift with Method wheels and BF Goodrich AT tires. Would gladly drive something small and move to Thailand lol
Thanks mate, I’ve never seen a V8 4Runner, is that based on like a Tacoma ? Sounds like it would have been great off-road or in sand 👍
The 4.7 V8 was the same engine the Tundra used.@@goodvibespattaya2423
The trucks are sharp looking. I have the Mitsubishi sport truck Triton Plus Deisel. At the cost, it makes you wander how the average Thai can afford a car
Nice truck mate, the Thais finance their cars 😊
Hi Jason! Thanks for another interesting video! Toyota was the first car I bought for my own hard earned money. In fact it was a Hilux, and that hasn`t really changed much since. We needed a truck at my home in Korat back then, so that was my choice for our need. I always thought the suspension was a bit too stiff though, or hard. You notice that very well on the 331 between Bangkok/Pattaya and Korat. But since back then, I have had the pleasure of driving many different cars, and have ended up with my Ford Ranger Raptor today. It has a little better suspension, and it feels more comfortable on the road, especially on the bumpy ones. It doesn`t hurt that I think it`s pretty dang cool as well. Thanks again for these videos, I love them 🥰
Hi Sarlina, thank you so much for another great comment, always positive and informative for not only me but others reading 🙏
I actually had a 2017 Hilux dual cab (4 door) equivalent to a Rocco in Australia as a company car and the ride was almost unbearable, so much so that I had to convince the MD to let me change for an SUV with a more compliant ride, however I have driven a current Rocco here and it is much better than the model I had. The Raptor I would think would be a really good ride considering the suspension setup and I hope to one day have a drive of one.
Thank you again for your ongoing support and positive comments, really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏
2016 Mitsubishi outlander paid 33000 cdn sold it for 15000 cdn March 2024 so they hold there value. And April 1 ,2024 moving to Thailand Jason hope to have couple of cold ones . Currently living in Canmore Alberta canada
Nice one mate, good car the Outlander 👍. Good on you for making the decision to move, you won’t look back and yep let’s catch up when you get here 👍
Hi mate, here in the UK I've had a Lexus IS that I loved and a pair of Toyota Prius that are just great cars. I'm now in a 2018 BMW 5 series. I didn't really appreciate the difference between a great car and a premium car until I bought the BM. It's an absolute treat to drive every day. If I choose to buy a car once I'm in Thailand, I'll head straight back to Toyota. I'm quite taken with that Corrolla crossover but the Hilux is ideal in the rainy season.
G’day mate, thanks for sharing this, Lexus/Toyota and most Japanese cars all drive similar but then you drive a European car and what a difference, you really feel like part of the car. Having said that, there is no way I would own a Euro here in Thailand unless I was loaded and could just buy new and change it over every couple of years 😊
@@goodvibespattaya2423Yes mate, thanks for your reply. I would head straight to a Toyota dealer because they are such trustworthy cars, but as you say, premium German brands and the like in Thailand are for people with money to burn. Not a realistic option for most sadly.
@@thedaveybhoy 👍👍👍
Drove a new Yaris Ativ for a week recently. New 594.000. Was a pleasant ride, won't complain for that price
Thanks mate, appreciate you sharing your experience with the Ativ, good to know 👍👍👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 If you want to know more. Drove mid-spec variant Smart. Most notable feature missing was cruise control and/or limiter. Nice surprise built-in dash cam. Of course, at that price point the matetials and Specs aren't the best, but I found it surprisingly nice inside and outside. 94 HP 1.2 CVT was actually very good to drive inside the cities and just struggled a bit in the Mountains. Good enough for Thai traffic and speeds anyway.
@@Paxi-und-Fixi awesome mate, thank you very much for sharing this, as mentioned I test drove the 23 Yaris and it was honestly good and as you say, good for a runaround In Thailand and you just can’t go wrong with Toyota 👍👍👍
Great video mate, the thumbnail made us laugh!
Haha yeah Toyota Aussie slogan probably not known globally, I actually need to ask you guys something but will send an email 👍👍👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 good piece of nostalgia haha
For sure mate, send away!
Hi Jason. I have a 2018 Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco dual cab 4x4. Great for travelling around Thailand. Put a Hamer electric roll top cover on the tray. Goes really well and Toyota servicing is available everywhere. Regards Francis
Thanks Francis, great choice 👍👍👍
G’day Francis,
Is the roll top water proof?
Kind regards
Roland
For me the Corolla Cross would be the one…
@@Roland_Rohrle Hi Roland. Yes it is completely waterproof. They installed two drains and also applied silicone around the edge of the sport rails.
Great video, Jason. Somehow your opinion on CVT went from : 'hating with a passion' to : 'allright'.😂
Thanks mate, yep I got crucified after bagging out the CVT in a number of videos last year so I had to change my opinion and now I just say, for a runaround they are okay 😛
Alwayz solid content bro. Scull VB every day!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks mate, love good cold VB in a tinnie 👍
I dont discriminate, just GET IT INDIAAAA!!!! 😂😂
Hahahaha 👍🤣
Thanks for everything Jason. Im moving to Pattaya at the end of May. I hope to get you a cold one someday.
Thank you mate, really appreciate it and look forward to having a cold one with you when you get here, just need to keep you away from Rachel 🤣🤣🤣
@@goodvibespattaya2423 😲OMG your memory is too good my man! See you in the land of smiles! I look forward to that X-Trail video. Take care m8.
@@Funkbringer haha, she will want to meet you if you buy a property from her 😛
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I bet 😂
Hello mate, I didn’t get to test drive the X-Trail but when I messaged them that I couldn’t make I asked them to confirm the price and it’s not 359k but 459k so not as good value as we both initially thought
Hi Jason, I always enjoy the car and truck videos. New or used vehicles, it doesn’t matter. Seeing the different names the manufacturers use overseas is always a hoot. I myself am sporting a 2024 self propelled wheelchair 😅 My last 2 cars were destroyed by drunk drivers. Thankfully I was not in either car at the time. 2 cars totaled in 13 months time. My street is a high traffic road and just my luck I had a bullseye on both vehicles. Since then I’ve decided to go without. Thanks for the showcase, I love cars over trucks also but I’m a bit torn on the decision while living overseas. I’m anticipating your future videos about how you feel between the two choices. Now that you have Miss Piggy, I’m curious to see if you prefer the car over the truck. Thanks again mate, good video today.
Crikey mate, jeez how bad is that to have two cars totaled, bloody hell and yes lucky you or anything was in the cars at the time. The wheelchair sounds good, have you done any mods?
In terms of Miss Piggy, I will be honest and say that I am really enjoying driving a car that is a lot more modern than good old Maxine, the diesel in Piggy flies and super economical but I would prefer to be sitting up higher in a 4x4 pickup or SUV, maybe one day.
Thank you mate, as always I appreciate your support and comments.
Take care
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I’m thinking about updating to an electric chair/mobility cart. If I had a place to store a trike motorcycle I would surely buy one. Sadly living in the city here there is no room for a garage on this property. I’ll just bide my time and prepare for coming to Thailand. No sense buying anything here when I’m planning on leaving the states for good. Enjoy your day mate, as always keep the great content coming!
Love the car video's. Yeh someone else mentioned the prices on 2nd hand are mental due to high import taxes. A Ford Ranger Raptor review be cool, love the look of them when was there.
Thanks mate, I will go to Ford and make a video at some stage 👍
great car video, as always. I'd go with the yaris lol. budget friendly! lol. the used cars do seem quite pricey in comparison to new. especially with the mileages.
The smaller electric cars would be interesting, but I would worry about taking it out traveling the country. maybe they have adequate charging places everywhere....that would require a bit of research before i'd go that route.
I'd settle for a Piglet type vehicle, i think lol
have a great weekend my friend!
oh - cars.....When I ended up taking care of mom full time, we didn't need both cars. We kept her Lincoln MKX and my Mercedes GLK350 went away because it had a lot more miles. What a mistake. That Lincoln has been...well......a Ford. I still love Lincolns though. She always had Town Cars before. Barges, but so comfortable!
Thanks mate, Yaris is a great car and how crazy are the used car prices compared to new, it’s just plain crazy BUT I have a feeling the prices might start to come down based on what the used dealer told me which I mentioned in the video, his stock is the same as when I videoed over 4 months ago!!!!
Wow your Benz would have been a great car and I’m sure very different to the Lincoln, always wanted to drive one of them yank tanks, I am sure they are extremely comfortable and roll around corners 😊
Thanks Matt, have a great weekend too 👍
“Oh what a feeling”, Good Vibes Pattaya. Jump in the air compulsory.
Hahaha yeah I wanted to do that for the thumbnail, maybe next time I go to Toyota 👍👍👍
Thanks mate
I also like the car vids, Good stuff.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍👍👍
I recommend buying at auctions in thailand, prices are very different. Purchased a hybrid camry, detailed it and sold it for a ridiculous profit. Places like Motto, Sia etc etc in BKK, you just need to know about cars to check them out first for dodgy repairs.
Thanks mate, I have been wanting to go to a Motto auction and will do one of these days but no filming permittee. Keen to watch how it works here and prices 👍
Will be waiting on this report. @@goodvibespattaya2423
Well in the states I drive VW Jetta. I had never owned one before, but what a great car! Smooth and great gas milage!
Good car mate, is it petrol or diesel?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Petrol. Having the GTI or GLI diesel would be nice!
@@michaellee2652 so they have a Jetta GTi there?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Yes, but I'm sure the dealer has to special order it. I have seen them, but not very often.
enjoyed this one 👍
Thanks mate, I enjoy making car videos and as you may know, mechanic by trade and worked in the car industry all my life, more car stuff coming 👍👍👍
I always buy second hand, my last Toyota was a 1998, 12 year old Celica GT which I kept for 8 years, sadly at 20 years old it finally started to fall apart and I wasn't keen on the gen 7 Celicas so I bought a Merc SLK instead. Great video as usual
Thanks for sharing that mate, good old Celica 👍 And great car the Benz 👍👍👍
Excellent video Jason, I'll take the Champ or Hilux truck diesel's. Wish they sold that truck here in the US. Can't believe the price of it and all others. You said what I have, 2018 Ram Cummins Diesel. Thanks Jason
Thanks mate, yep prices are pretty good for diesel pickups here. So you have a RAM 2500 or 3500? I did some work with RAM Trucks Australia when they started importing and converting to RHD and love them, would be cool to have a 1500 Laramie here but a bit thirsty and big for Thailand but I do love them 👍👍👍
@@goodvibespattaya2423 It's a 2500 and been a excellent truck, except for EPA putting in that DEF Fluid. You don't want that Eco Diesel made by Fiat. Not sure but I don't think you can even get that Fiat Eco Diesel. Thanks
These prices seem quite affordable tbh - cars are much more expensive here in Ireland. I'm guessing that these must be manufactured in Thailand and do not have the huge import Tax imposed upon them.
Yes manufactured in Thailand not subject to import tax 👍
Hi Jason. great vlog as always 👍Loved the used bikes and scooter part in last vlog would like more when possibly thanks 😁I drive a MK4 Golf GTI as a daily Nissan X trail as my 4X4 and a Mazda MX5 as a summer driver. When I move to Thailand I would probably buy an Isuzu or something Mazda but don't know what models Mazda seal in Thailand.
Thanks for sharing Mate and there will be many more car/bike videos to come. I had the same GTi as a company car when working for Volkswagen Australia back the day among many other drive cars and an X-Trail while at Nissan 😊. It’s interesting in terms of Mazda, they are the only brand that stuck with conventional auto transmissions which as you know, I love. They sell pretty much the whole range here 👍👍👍
Good stuff Jas!
Thanks mate 👍
Hi Jace, currently driving an AUDI - S5 - 4.2 V8. Trading in on a 2024 Subaru Forrester hybrid - I'm getting too old for the AUDI lol😢😢😢😢
I love that V8 engine, it’s a cracker 👍 Haha big change to the Subaru but also a great car 👍

I drive a 6 year old 80 horse power Ford Fiesta cos I spend all my money in Pattaya 😁
Fiesta is okay, do you own that here In Thailand or back home?
@@goodvibespattaya2423 Hi Jason, I own that Ford Fiesta here in Germany. I'm still "legally registered" in Germany and spend about 185 days a year there. In Pattaya I live about 6 month a year (2 "holidays" of 90 days each) and I don't own any vehicle in Thailand. 🚶♂
The price difference between a new or second hand car is too small. I advise to always buy new. Also no risk of manipulation of the km of a second hand car
👍
With the new improved tax laws, bringing money to Thailand to pay cash for a vehicle may come with a surprise tax bill come January 2025.
Good point 👍
I am driving a 2020 Toyota Tundra double cab limited 5.7 V8. We plan on moving back to Thailand this summer. What do you think of the Dmax V cross by Isuzu?
Nice, I drove one of those from Vegas to LA a few years ago and love full size American pickups, the DMax in V Cross spec is a sensational pickup and I have driven one, might feel like a toy after the Tundra 👍👍👍
Hey Jason, I have a Corolla Cross Hybrid to go with my ADV 350. There are just times when a car is easier.
Thanks mate, great car and I’m sure you are happy with it and the ADV 350, what a cracking bike, I have one too 👍👍👍
Hey Jason, Thank you again for another great car video - these Toyotas are a bit rich for my blood and weak Candian dollar 🤣Im going Nissan X-Trail 100% - thanks for your advice
Hey mate, thank you - I asked the dealer with the X-Trail if I can test drive it tomorrow and they said yes, so all going well and time permitting, I will take it for a drive and try to video 👍

How much can you bargain with them, do they drop the prices much on new and used cars?
Zero on a new car although they do include plate frames and a few other freebies like mats, weather shields, poxy chrome door cup protectors but try asking for a full tank, seen two people buy new cars here. Used cars you can negotiate, especially at the moment as they can’t sell them and interest rates have gone up for Thais on used cars and they are buying new with many EV brands offering 0%
So maybe in a few years the gird won’t be able to cope with all of the electric cars coming on
Haha blackouts maybe 🤔 Anyway I think it might be a bit of a fad with Thais and the appealing finance offers won’t last forever
I am retiring to Thailand this year and would like to ship my car there, a 1989 Lotus Espirit Turbo, but I am concerned about taxes I will have to pay. Any advice?
From what I have heard countless times you cannot privately import cars
Is car insurance extortionate over there or reasonable? Is it even a legal requirement? I drive an old Ford fiesta I bought for £700 3yrs ago she is going great. despite the savage potholes here in the uk.
Reasonable mate but I would NOT buy a Ford here, too many bad stories from owners
I will take the camper.
It would be great, especially if it had a/c and a generator 👍
Good vid Jason, i drive a 2018 Navara str. I would buy a similar one in Thailand.
Thanks Doug, good car the Navara and will be making a similar video at Nissan and many other brands in the near future 👍👍👍
Looked at the hilux champ been for a test drive lacking power I’ve had a gr sport fortuner for 1 year from new I’ve probably lost over 200000 baht already

As a frequent Traveller to Thailand. I've hired a Yaris a few times at Subvarhabhumi . Adequate without being exciting. This time I thought I would like a change and booked an Havel Jolian. The point I was going to make is I'm pissed with these rental companies giving you a 'similar car' Ended up with a battered old HRV that took me longer to list the defects than filling out the paper work. The other scam is keeping you waiting a month to get your deposit returned.
Can you please do a video on Honda. I drive a siver 2016 Honda Accord V6 3.5 liter coupe.
Will do mate, I plan on making videos on all brands, well maybe not all but definitely Honda, great car you have 👍👍👍
Hey jason, so you finally got to the Toyota veloz😂 I really wanted you to test drive that because I thought with a three-row SUV running 120 horsepower on a CVT it might actually be your dream car😂 kidding obviously, but I think that may be the kind of area where a CVT can be a benefit rather than a detriment? It's so drastically underpowered that the CVT might help with the low end torque?
Hey Kev, yeah first time I put a Veloz in a video, they are quite nicely done, like the interior. That’s very clever, a CVT good help as the engine will build up revs and then drag the car along 👍👍👍

No matter how many times I look at it, the economics of buying a car in Thailand makes no sense to me, unless you are working/commuting. Especially given the traffic "convenience" and the affordability of public transport and hire car costs when you really need a vehicle. Just my opinion.
Thanks mate, yes public transport is a good option if you don’t need a car on a daily basis or not fussed with the convenience of a car
