Default Buying S2K in Thailand

Hi guys,

Any regular Thai members on the board?

I have been offered a job in Bangkok and of course my main priority is purchasing an S!

Can anyone point me into the right direction as the best places that sell S2Ks (websites, forums, locations) and best options for tuning parts!

Many thanks.

Have you been to Bangkok before? It is one giant traffic jam from morning to night. It is not a place I would want to be in an S.

I've lived and worked there for several years. It was more for weekend / track purposes. I wouldn't even consider daily driving, let alone M/T driving.

Hi there,

I'm Thai and have an S but I live in the UK now, S2000 is not a common car in Thailand and they are fairly expensive, you're looking at 1.7 millions THB or more (35,000 GBP up) depends on the condition and modification. There is one for sale now, white with original Spoon body kit, Volks RE30 wheels; https://www.facebook...b.za.9?fref=ufi

Also agree with both statement above, it's not ideal for daily drive and with the traffic condition in Bangkok, it's not ideal for M/T as well. S should be your second car/weekend car.


Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, Boy!

I saw another S for sale.. it's a Type S model... may be the same but didn't have the Spoon body kit.

I may need to look at other options now.

Cheers.

the white one at 25G? that car is amazing new, 5000km on the clock, I have seen the car but the price is insane. Although there are a few on sale now. One of them is my friend's, Turbo S but the steering wheel is on the left as he imported the car from US.

Cheers
Boy
