well if you modify and customise to your taste you can forget about ever selling it mate as no one will buy it

@ Sylvi how is the temperament of the boxer and fox terrier cross? when cross breeding you need to do it carefully as some breeds are aggressive and some have genetic diseases, i would like to see their pics do you mind uploading when time permits

yes things like the attempted mugging attempt is deadly serious and i hope the cops are alert to prevent any more occurences

FD wont do him much good due to low interest rates but he can try trading in shares in the stock exchange and earn handsomely if he plays his cards well with that money!

Well if its anew car then the chances of a breakdown in Mannar is less machan,but then again I wont rely on getting it repaired there suprised that Batticoloa does not have a good mechanic to do this,im sure DIMOS must be having some dealers there neda?

You can get the Ford Laser or Mazda 323 for that budget and if your ok to spend around 8.5 you can get a Lancer CB series which is a very good car PLEASE FORGET ABOUT THE MARUTI

This type of scams are common ,the chances are that if they send 100 emails there might be atleaset 2 people who will fall for it! please reply and ask that asshole why he wants to buy a car from you in SL when he is an American and based in Iraq !

Well Im glad that I was not born in that stupid era it must have been like hell to live those days!

Sylvi thats an interesting array of cars i think Jaffna had a lot of A40 Devons till recently when they were bought by collectors now i hear there is not many left

Great car mate !

there was another thread on this please go through it

i wish you luck in your search hope you find that treasure trove

still having plastic hubcaps on the bumper is poor taste in my view makes it look like a gaudy pandol!

superb car mate and worth every Ruppee you spent on purchasing it,which part of Sri Lanka did you find such a classic? only think apart from the bumper job would be to fix a decent stereo set lik pioneer or jvc and the car will complete!!!

Hi Guys I want to knwo the current market price of a a Lancer C12 GLX car (YOM 1985) 14 sri in good nick but AC does not work might need a service and gassing or more,whats the price for that car now

sorry about your car machan while doing the timing belt up why dont you check the state of the piston rings and if needed change them too to prevent future issues with it Do you buy parts from ######## or some other place? where else can u buy Mitsu parts there ( good parts that last long )

some lancer flatlights came with a/c but I assume that yours does not have yes you can fix the a/c the most compatible compressor to fix will be a a mazda one as the original lancer flatlight AC units are not available now,there might be a slight very slight loss of power sometimes but it all depends on the way its installed most flatlight cars with a/c use the vents above the gearbox cover for the a/c as the blower uses that as well,very few have the a/c cooling from the dasboard vents on both ends (but this might need some work though) I cant say with authority about the full costs but ur looking at at around 35k for the full job good luck with it mate and keep us posted and also post a pic of ur car too

are you refering to the so called 'I' light model or the flat light model? why not upload a picture of it,btw how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

one cant really say the Lancer Box is better than the B11 as both are good cars of course if you compare the 12 sri Box model vs the 12 Sri B11 then the box comes on top but if you go in for a B11 long buffer model (14-15 sri ) then its better than the Lancer Box, i think the price of a good Lancer Box and a good B11 (long buffer ) are almost the same,both have good resale value,it all comes down to ones own individual perceptions

damm thats a very good bargain for the buyer as tubelight models go for atleast 225 upwards w/o AC and the AC ones around 250. Did the buyer trouble you with too many questions after buying it mate? btw,i hope u didnt sell it on open papers !

I'm sure we all know that Ratnapura is quite famous for the huge no of well maintained Lancer Box model cars any idea as to why its like that ? any particular reason/s?

hey gummybr,so did u part with your old lancer? how much did it fetch? btw was the buyer from ratnapura area coz those blokes are really into lancers and i have seen some nice tube light models there

Bro ur using a 13 year old Maruti so its nothing uncommon,those cars are not meant to be used for more than 5 years (in my view) !,you would be better off using a Lancer C12 or a Corolla DX wagon mate!

I didnt know that Sri Lankans migrate to japan for good,work yes but to migrate there....its anyway a very expensive country to live in isnt it

Machan this is a Ford Prefect 100E model which came in the middle of 1950's,it had 3 FWD gears But I was under the impression that these cars cannot be taken out of SL since they were classed as classics
