No idea buddy. Vitz is not imported brand new. Price will depend on the auction prices in Japan.

No frills-version of the Terios is 2.8M. It doesn't even come with a sound system. The so-called fully loaded version is 3.2M Are you trying to promote your business here???

... and your prediction is coming true

Think out of the box - like Hyundais, Protons, Fords (Laser/Mondeo), Suzukis, Peugeot 406, Skoda Octavia. Most of them come in the sub 1.5mill range. So you can also have a tidy sum left over to deposit in the bank and spend for any emergency repairs.

Considering only the criteria that you have mentioned, both you and your dad are right. Sunny is definitely more comfortable than the Corolla. Corolla is easier to sell and does way better on fuel. The situation in Sri Lanka is bloody ridiculous.People are willing to spend millions on 10-12 year old cars. If you are planning to use a car for long term and not worry about resale value, there are plenty of other options.

how about uploading it in tinypic.com or a similar site?

congrats. you just replied to a thread which was FIVE YEARS old!

B/N Honda City is Made in India. The build quality is terrible. Much worse than the Singapore imported Citys that you see on the road. I would strongly advise against it because I took a good look at it recently. With your options, I would say Terios. You can also get Nissan Sunny (1.5 Auto Super Saloon), Tiida, Ford Focus and a few more for 3.2 mill More are available here:

Cheers. Somebody pls take my turn. @nexus - no worries mate. happened to me too.

New Fiat 500

I guess its time to give some clues

Could this be a 90s VW Jetta?

No one can really predict the future. But based on past trends, Jap cars tend to hold their value better. Nevertheless, it seems your mind is set on an Accent or Rio so any attempt to change opinion will be of little use.

irrelevent post

Harshan seems to have replied earlier. shouldnt this be his turn? Anyways if its my turn, pls someone else take it.

If your idea is to get a YOM 2000+ English number sedan which is not too thirsty for fuel, you are pretty much stuck with three options - Rio, Accent and Wira. If you have are flexible (such as the willingness to buy an older car), there are many other options - not just EG8. The same era (circa 1991/92) Corollas, Sunnys, Pulsars, Lancers etc. will also be available close to your budget.

One of my good friends has a Rio and he's also purchased his second Rio since 2007. Have driven both the cars for a fairly long time. Also I have driven a rented Accent. Who told that to you? a car broker? Rio has two versions of engines - MIVEC and MI-Tech. MIVEC engine is a copy of a Mitsubishi engine. MI-Tech is a copy of a Mazda engine. Accent has a Hyundai Alpha engine, which is also inherited from Mitsubishi engines. It's just a simple 12 valve SOHC engine. Next time tell the guy who told this story to you to take a look at the engine and when he peeks inside, release the bonnet.

2002 Facelift. Never seen a diesel converted Rio.

No machan Rios arent that bad in fuel. But expect about 10-11 km/l. Bimmer would do a bit lower owing to its size and engine. Expect around 8. Honestly I don't know about Nissans.

Between 1 mill and 1.1 mill. Lower the better. About 10 km/l for a Rio. No Bullsh*t Yes Same thing that would happen to any car. Suspension, tyres, mounts will start giving trouble. Korean Accent has Hyundai Motor Company Limited printed on the VIN plate. Indian Accent has HMIL printed on the VIN plate. There are no Indian Rios Difficult to know for sure. Check the first owner's name on the book.

Its a ridiculous comparison if you ask me. In my opinion (SUBJECTIVE): which is the best ? Bimmer Which has the best fuel efficiency ? Rio Which could come the cheapest ? R10 (pre-facelift Rio could be cheaper) How about the maintenance ? Depends on the condition of the car. Rio is generally cheap to maintain. Dont know about the Nissans. Which one is the best of all worlds ? Bimmer I suggest not to go for a bimmer. Don't wanna see another bimmer ruined by someone whos looking for low ownership cost.

What's with the sudden urge to become the king of trolls dude? Did you sniff some bad petrol or something?
