Agree with GTAm's post. I too observed this & mostly pump from Lfs Koswatta, Battaramulla, Pelawatta. A full tank from Pelawatta is always more than 42ltrs while other 2 is between 40 - 41ltrs. I usually fill when low fuel indicator comes up & pump a full tank.

Had a manual 1600cc brand new import about a year back & Used to get 10kmpl in moderate traffic & could achieve 15kmpl on outstation trips (Colombo - Wellawaya, Kataragama) Very good A to B car, bought it at 70000km & sold at 130000km didn't have any problem other than usual running repairs/maintenance. Only con to mention is the front suspension bushes which need to be replaced at every 10000km if you hate to hear rattling noises, but this is not an expensive or time consuming job. You may find more info if you do a search on other threads.

Very True. On the other hand who knows whether it was clocked by the previous owner who sold it to the car sale. In any case, buyers should not trust the milage on the odo meter unless it is supported by service records. Better go by the condition.

Not sure. All what people in the trade say. They are also not sure yet. Hope we will know by tomorrow.

From what I hear, If the vehicle has been inspected & taxes calculated (submitted customes docs) you are safe. Otherwise the new rates will be applicable.

Sorry Man I don't have one for sale. Try the photo classified section. PS I would not sell if I had one till the info is verified & market settled.

There are rumors going on about increasing the import tax of vehicles. Did not want to cerate a new topic as it is not confirmed. Apperantly Customs are not releasing vehicles today & this will be applicable to hybrids as well.

I found the following in some literature about Prius & thought would be useful. "The emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution & fuel leakage when a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor. If the emergency shut off system activates, vehicle will not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your dealer" Since our local agents are not ready yet, I think the Prius users here will have to be carefuill not exceed the set level of impact.

No. It was running slow. Replacing the fan solved the prob. What happens is AC is being switched off by the high pressure relay.

I had a simila problem & problem was faulty cooling fan. Check your cooling system if the temperature is too high when you encounter the problem.

I don't know the resons for the differences, but those prices are correct & reliable. One reason may be that they got it as soon as the tax was reduced and may be CIF price was lower at that time.

I checked with few who cleared ther cars (personnely imported) and the approximate prices they got are as follows. These vehicles were cleared about 2 weeks back. Axio X grade white 2007- 3.3M+ Axio X grade Silver 2007 - 3.3M- Axio G grade Beige 2007 - 3.6M+ Axio G Grade White 2008 - 3.8M- But they say now the auction prices may be higher & hence price could be around 4M. If any of you found any comparative prices for unreg at car sales pl share the details.

IMO what matters is not number of registered owners but the number of owners on open papers. One would register the car only if he intends using it and will maintain it well. Those who runs on open papers will never attend to any mechanical repairs that does not add value to selling price (unless it brakes down). They will do some cosmetic things & try to sell at a profit. Better go by the condition and never by (OR sell) on open papers.

I typed my thoughts & deleted as now it could be dissing. Dont want to chain the car when parked.
