Well, here's the deal I got on a 2010 Toyota Vigo 3.0 4x4, 4 door, auto, (G). I had also been in contact with Tim, from expat motors who was a big help and said he would have charged roughly the same.
I went to the Toyota shop on the 4th floor at Central Dept. store, Rama3, from Khun Mam, yes I can speak Thai and yes she can speak English.
Khun Mam said about 3 to 5 weeks delivery because I wanted the tan/gold color, and a lot sooner if I wanted to take a black or silver truck, and to put on the extras and the carryboy top.
She said they don't sell many 4 door, 4x4r, auto,g, grade trucks, but a lot of standard gear prerunners and that the 4x4 , 4 door auto was the no.1 stolen vehicle in Thailand, bar none, and that if people can't make the payments thay will sell it underground and it will be driven to Cambodia and then the owner will report it stolen to get out of paying for it. So, I didn't need a guartantor, but they still wanted a copy of my gf's tambian bahn ( home registry).
Anyway, here's the deal I got, and it seems ok to me, I don't feel it's a great deal, but I don't feel I got ripped off either, kinda ok:
truck is 958k, 35% down, 2.35% financing over 30 months. 8,500b for registration fee, 645.b compulsory ins., 2,500 deposit for red plates to be returned when the white plates arrive.
So she rounded it to 340k down plus 11,645b reg.,ins,red platel, total 351,645 down, minus 5000 baht deposit to begin the whole show, = 346,645 down. Finished.
Then, 21,811b a month for 30 months= 654,330 from the balance of 618,000, so interest paid over 30 months is 36,330b
She said she had 40k for extras to play with, so I could take a 40K discount and get the basic truck with no extras and find my own insurance and do the
reg. and all the paperwork myself, and after adding it all up, would definately be over 40 k, so I took option no. 2 which was
for "free" she added:
1 year good coverage insurance for 1 year, she said it was worth about 22k, (I looked at the policy and it was good)
Toyota bed liner
lie mai (wooden looking plastic (I think it's plastic)veneer covers on the dash, console, doors arm rests etc.)
lic.plate frames
tinted window film on all windows
side rain visors on the outside of the doors to cover the windows
floor mats
undercoating, 2,500 extra from me
and I also ordered a carryboy top for it through her that she said would be at least 2000 baht less than if I got it from carryboy, which I told her I called them and was quoted 23,000b myself. Plust it would be painted and fitted better if under dealer care. So I'm guessing 21k for it on top, it's the 840 model.
Also I asked Khun Mam and Tim if it would be better to wait for the Bkk Inter. motor show coming on the 26th of next month to buy it, both said no, because the prices would be the same, just
configured a thousand different ways, but would still be the same ending price, and the wait would increase to 3 to 5 months, while trucks are waiting to have the extras put on.
