We have long and long experience of buying either the used (2nd-hand & 3rd-hand) vehicles and the new ones for both the local and the expat people.

In the Kingdom of Cambodia, there are three options for the expat who wishes to buying the vehicle for either use within the family or for official use:

Option 1: Buying a Used Vehicle,

Option 2: Buying a 3rd-Hand Vehicle, and

Option 3: Buying a New Vehicle. 

Usually, we do not encourage the expat to buying the vehicle, if your stay in Cambodia is uncertainty. You must know and/or understand that your stay in Cambodia must be more than 2 years, otherwise, renting a car with self-drive or with driver is encouraged.

The reason is that buying the vehicle while you are in the uncertainty and suddenly you decided to dispose it, then you will lost more money than hiring a car. The depreciation is high in Cambodia. Owning a car, your burden of payment shall be the following:

1. Prepare the budget to buying a car,

2. New License Plate which cost you just only once and last for the whole life of the vehicle,

3. Transferring the ownership is required for the 3rd-hand car,

4. Annual General Inspection once every 2-year times,

5. Annual Road Tax,

6. Annual Insurance Coverage, and

7. Regular Maintenance, replace and Repair etc . . .

If you are not so serious considered about the beauty and/or the long used of the vehicle, the 2nd hand  and/or the 3rd-hand one is very good for your either a short-stay and a long-stay. The 2nd-hand and/or the 3rd-hand one could also last long, if you take the right one and you must do the regularly check and maintenance by any trustworthy garage nearby your place. You will pay less money and lost small amount of money when you wish to stop using and disposing it at the end of your stay in Cambodia.

Disadvantage of Buying the Used (2nd-hand) and/or Locally Used Vehicle (3rd-hand one)

There are not so many problem, if you take the right one and do the regular check and maintenance plus the very good history, good record and good care from the previous owner.

Take time to find the very good condition one.

Not easy to find the right one and the very good one.

If you happy to put more budget for the very good condition one is very easy to get it. 

Advantage of Buying the New Vehicle from the Local Import Authorized Dealer

If you are so serious consider about the beauty and/or the long used of the vehicle, the new one is very good for your either short-stay and long-stay and it could also last long.

Last longer and pay more money at once and pay small amount of money  for post regular maintenance and servicing.

You will be under a-year warranty by the local authorized imported dealer for doing the regularly check and maintenance. 

Very easy and fast to find and get it.

Spend less time to get it.

Disadvantage of Buying the New Vehicle from the Local Import Authorized Dealer

There are not so many problem, if you do the regular check and maintenance by garage who sold you the new car.

You will lose half of the price when you are suddenly disposing it.
