riorobc023 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I see in thailand that cars do not depreciate as fast as they do in the states, and that the tax's on some of the cars are astronomical!! I am buying another car but this time it is a 2013 honda city, all tinted windows with 25,000 km on it. about mint condition, leather seats, no bluetooth or navigation but has USB ports. buyer wants 400,000 . i think he said he bought for 600,000+ not negotiatiable is this reasonable? thoughts and opinions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juehoe Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would assume max. 50% of the new price. Is it the top model? All inspections done by Honda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 7 speed wouldn't be a CVT would it? I had a 7 speed auto Honda Jazz that was a great little car.The CVT in the Jazz of that era did have faux gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 They appear on here from time to time ... Second Hand Cars For Sale In Thailand. A Facebook site run by a guy called Ryan Collinwood, he is a TV member. Since the 'first car scheme' cars do depreciate much faster than they used to. Some sellers haven't caught up with that fact yet. Three years old half price would probably be a bargain. A three year old car should still be mint. Ask to see the bill of sale, the maintenance docs, the blue book and the insurance docs ... it should have reduced premium for no claims. Also how much it is insured for ... less than it is worth if that is any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 the base model auto city is 600,000, the city cvt is a 7 speed with steering wheel switch, well on my 2006. i would think that the price is reasonable, with low milage some here - http://www.one2car.com/honda/city/ปี-08-14)/?min_registered_year=2012&max_registered_year=2014&yearrange=2012-2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of Pop Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Its sporty enough for Normal Happy Folk who mainly post in other sections ... The Honda Turbo RS Civic has a rather nice CVT. As Giddy said,that box was fine , and im not an Auto fan except in BKK where i used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CVT trans was reintroduced in the current model from 2014 to date. In 2013 the top of the range was the SV model that have paddle shifters on the steering wheel and were sold for 709,000bt. Also came with 16"alloys, side indicators on the door mirrors and split rear reclining seats and black cloth interiors. Seems that the OP's prospective buy has had an interior modification to leather and with only 25k on the clock it seems to be very fairly priced if it's an SV model. If it's a lower grade V or S model then it's a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the lights that Honda City would leave JaseTheBass behind in his pick up, and he bangs on about his pick up truck like its a prestige supercar. So I guess JaseTheBass thinks it's quite sporty in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT85 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 my advice is ensure u get ALL paperwork.. service record and book, and have an expert check out the whole car for accidents. check with insurance if there was a claim in the last couple of years. i usually low ball for second hand cars as I am still paying the price for my very first silly purchase :) good luck!

Should I have bought a gas guzzling 10 year old Honda City instead?And I know you're only pulling my chain but the Wildtrak is a massive step up over a City even if it doesn't cut it on the drag strip.

If you dispute the insured value the insurers will fix it at 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
