How are quality of these ex thailand before commiting my mion
Hi @bartum, i happened to import an Ex-Thailand Isuzu Dmax in 2010 and i can say so far the car has never had any issues. I think japan ceased to manufacture pickups and the plants were relocated to thailand. So it will be very difficult to get any unit from there...and if you do...chances are that its origin will be thailand.
The only issue i had when importing back then was that there was no inspection body (Jevic) in thailand. So the inspection had to be done here by kebs after the unit arrived in msa (and they charged a whooping 15% of the cif cost). I don't know if that's still the case.
