frogblogger,
A sure way to minimize auto problems is to buy the most popular [and trouble free] vehicle indigenous to Chiang Mai. Whether new or used they will likely have the parts and know how to repair. Best bet is anything Japanese and I would stay away from anything American. Not sure the most popular Japanese brands but Honda and Toyota would be pretty good bets if I were a guessing man. It is likely that the car was made in Thailand but at least the engineering ie transaxle and engine would be well made!
KhwaamLap, your car must truly be an antique. Congratulations on tracking down the parts you needed.
