SECOND HAND MOTORBIKE MARKETS
Cho Xe My Cu Cau Giay
Drive along Cau Giay Street to Chua Ha and turn right. There are signs.
Make sure you know what you’re looking for or take a knowledgeable friend or your friendly neighbourhood xe om. They’ll have a good idea if the bike is worth the price.
Cho Xe My Cu Quang An
It’s next to the flower market on Au Co BEFORE you get to To Ngoc Van if you’re traveling north.
Same caveat emptor as above.
