Cars really hold there value here compared to in the west. I'd guess about 60k would be about right for that car but it's really worth what someone's willing to pay.

ubc satellite box wanted

Looking for a ubc box or another satellite box that a ubc card will work in.
There is no point in buying another ubc box for our house in hua hin when the technology is outdated and likely to change soon and we can just carry the ubc card from our house in bkk anytime we go.
