Motor Expo 2026

It is believed that if our country's public utility system were more convenient, many people wouldn't need to own so many private cars, would they? ... Most importantly, many people want to buy a car for comfortable travel, without having to crowd on public buses or other public transport. However...owning a car might not be easy...for some people.

Therefore, it's another thing for beginners to know: "Before planning to buy a car," you should study promotions from various media to get bargaining points, especially from the car brands you are interested in. In addition to car promotions, "should we buy with cash or on installment?" And we also need to know the promotions from various financial institutions, which is another factor to facilitate the purchase decision.

We have guidelines to help you decide before considering buying a car at the “36th Thailand International Motor Expo” or The 36th Thailand International Motor Expo 2019” which will be held from November 29 - December 10 . Let's see  How to buy a car? To get the best value 

1. Budget 

First and foremost, you must check your budget. Because if you buy a car that is beyond your financial means, the comfort you hoped for might turn into distress later on due to the burden of car payments that you'll have to bear for many years. Importantly, don't forget! Set aside “post-purchase car expenses” as well. And always remember that the value of a car depreciates constantly, and in this life, we probably won't use just one car; we might have to change to a new one sooner or later. Therefore, you should choose to buy a car at a price you can afford and only what is necessary for this period.

2. Choose the desired car type

If we have a limited budget, we should choose a car type that fits our budget. For example, with a budget of 300,000-400,000 Baht, it could be an Eco Car, which comes in both 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan types, or a slightly larger City Car, or a small 4-door passenger car. Most importantly, don't buy a car type that is more than what you actually need. For instance, thinking that buying a large car upfront will allow for comfortable seating for many people when traveling to other provinces. But in reality, you might only travel to other provinces once or twice a year with only 3-4 people, for which city cars can also provide comfortable seating.

Therefore, you should choose to buy a car at a price you can afford and only what is necessary for this period.

3. Car size

This point is related to point 2. Car size is also important. Many people buy large cars, forgetting about their living space. Some people have cramped parking spaces at their residences, making it extremely difficult to park or turn in. So, don't overlook this matter. 

4. Brand and warranty

In reality, most car manufacturers currently available in our country already have comparable standards. However, it cannot be denied that some brands still have a low level of credibility, or even some major brands that we believe have standards still receive complaints regarding manufacturing defects and after-sales warranty for customers. Therefore, the decision of which brand of new car to buy is also important. In addition to choosing a brand, you should also find specific information about the model you are particularly interested in, which can be found on websites, various web boards, or leading automotive magazines such as Formula 4WHEELS MAGAZINE, etc.

5. Discounts and freebies you should receive

 Currently, each car model and brand faces high competition. Therefore, it is important for new buyers! Not to forget to ask for the following: Discounts (if it's a newly launched car, this might not apply), interest rate for installments (if installment payment is necessary, don't forget to negotiate the lowest possible interest rate for installments – you can consult about leasing at our event), first-class insurance, leather seats as a freebie instead of fabric seats, full-body heat protection film, etc. 

6. Test drive

Before choosing to buy a car, you should do your homework thoroughly, whether it's regarding the engine, performance, fuel consumption/alternative energy, exterior appearance, interior, safety systems, etc.

But to know which car is right for us, it is necessary to rely on a "test drive" to make a decision at the “36th Thailand International Motor Expo” or Motor Expo 2019.

For test drives at the “Motor Expo,” we have well-prepared facilities for "test drives" And after test-driving your chosen car, it might meet your usage needs more than "just what you like". Or if you don't like it, you still have time to give up or change brands. 

7. Resale value

If you don't plan to use that car model for a long period, like 10-15 years, until its value and depreciation are fully utilized, but rather intend to use it for about 5-8 years and then replace it with a new one, you should consider popular car models that offer good resale value. This way, you will have a significant amount of money left from selling your old car to buy a new one.

All of these are just basic principles or factors for consideration and decision-making when buying a new car! Try to consider them. If you have decided, the 36th Thailand International Motor Expo is very suitable for making a car purchase decision, because you have all the opportunities mentioned above, without having to tour many showrooms for comparison.  The opportunity has arrived, what are you waiting for?
