The vitara is around 6 mil, uk import, Rear leg room is an issue, I didn't do an in depth research but the car looks better in person, its badly shadowed by the CHR though

You realise degrading batteries and poor replacement options make the car a dead end in terms of future prospects right? Also you range drops as the battery ages not as the kms you run in, The whole EV outburst was not backed enough by any investor thereby died out, no Parts, no after sales services and most of all dire shortage for fast chargers. Selling the wagon r for a leaf would not be a wise option on the long run, I learnt this the hard way, went EV ninja once upon a time. There are cars for 9 laks atm which came in at 2.6 to 3.1 mil in 2015, with only 2 to 3 bars left running about 50km without ac. Whatever you save using the leaf financially you will lose in depreciation, as for being eco friendly, you ll be consuming electricity mostly supplied by burning coal.

1. Stay away from uk imported navaras as chassis corrosion is a big issue, also they have many faults. 2. 4 mil is a good price for an L200 of this era, 3. Fuel consumption is like 8kmpl to 10kmpl, any better is a lie 4. Check for corrosion, roof line around the windshield, rear tub, chassis, Check for agent maintenance history, Note mileage is in miles so do the conversion, miles are not a problem if they are well taken care of, we have one with 254000miles! Engine not opened, stock turbo Check for fault codes, check engine lights, Better do an agent inspection or car checks inspection They need super diesel, or new injectors you decide. Try to get a raging bull edition as that is more equipped and has a bit more performance, Check if 4wd is working, do a test drive, suspension is not noisy under normal circumstances, it's very nippy in terms of acceleration, so anything that feels slow or has turbo lag is a problem Look around the turbo for oil seepage, if so need turbo overhaul or replacement. Blow by and oil sputtering from the dipstick pipe is normal for these engines. Black smoke during revving is normal, but if its blue smoke, expect an overhaul. Expect bumps scrapes dents that's normal for a pickup.

I’m not updated with the latest info, you might have to check that with DMT, anything can be done there if you know someone up the food chain.

Other than YOM, no other way.

If you expect off road prowess and ground clearance, not the best option got a little bit of tech though, city oriented but enough for a small weekend outing more or less a glorified family van, so consider other options as well, also they loose value in months, you can find low mileage few ,months used ones for about 1mil less,

Stretch your budget a bit more and get a Vitz, safest option provided u get a good one. 1. Alto - better options for that budget, poorly equipped and small, unless u get the rs 2. Daihatsu Mira is not that bad, they don’t break that often for you to go looking for parts this early, 3. Wagon R - quite true

Hes spent more than the cars value to mod it to this level, Going to see a lot of hooning in these now

Get a vitz, more road presence, better resale, more space and more comfortable, the wagon r market is going to come crashing soon once the hybrid batteries get cooked, they have a loan of repairs as well sequentially

Do not buy these, expect major repairs after 50,000km , the importer thereafter charges premiums to source and import the parts, only a minor quantity will make it to the country anyhow and will be worth like 2 mil 4 to 5 years and you ll have to sell your soul to find a buyer The above statements are based on a first hand experience on a Glory 7 seater van which my in laws purchased brand new from the same importer, home used for about 60000km So far ep steering faults, replaced ac compressor, wheel bearings, ball joints, gearbox shuddering badly, diesel engine at about 50% compression, 3 of 5 doors central locks shot, power mirrors not working, fiberglass bits in the bumper cracking and peeling off, seats peeled off and recovered, the entertainment system packed up in days, and was replaced. It was purchased for 4.5mil brand new in 2016 june, current value is 2.3 mil and moving at 2 mil whereas people advertise higher prices. Also the CR mentions as "Made in Sri lanka" making it a nightmare to sell it off if a potential buyer wants a lease, and valuations will be quite entertaining as well, If its cvt as well, god bless u There are first gen hiaces that have done about 500,000 km and with fewer repairs than above.

If these are shock absorbers for your Montero, they are massive and will definitely be held in the post office and forwarded to customs, you might get taxed, heavily,

Too old, the car has been almost 10 years in Sri lanka, expect most to be abused by playing V*P as well, mileages turned back, parts aren't plentiful and aren't cheap either. Also the model will be refreshed soon after so many face lifts. Does about 4kmpl in traffic and 8 to 9 kmpl outstation. There is no point of even discussing or even a comparison of a Kia and dfsk vs a montero and a prado,

Should have these

Check the auction sheet, jevic jaai, also does it have 6 speakers? If it doesnt have 6 speakers multifunction wheel is not oem

Most likely being a 2016 vitz the mileage is fake, anyhow Clean throttle body egr maf sensors, Change cvt fluid as well, Worst case scenario get a Toyota inspection done,

You can make it a E*-XXXX number Plenty of defenders here with that

It would be helpful if there is some old site with ads from like 2014 2016 so that one can get an idea of what things costed when new, to get an idea of depreciation

Yes and same goes for the depreciation, the new lineage is even worse

There are 2 speeds in which the fan runs, usually off or low speed during normal running The high loud setting comes up when ac is on or after climbing a very steep hill, example after max load for 10 20 mins

Kandy Normal hills, Can manage, slow but not absurd. Much better than an alto or maruti 800, Can manage better if you have momentum if you travel with 4 passengers and on a narrow road with a steep incline, 20 degrees or high car will have issues pulling up from a stop or if you slow down, the above results with a zero mileage engine and fresh cvt, will get worse as they age, but in low country you ll rarely feel any Lack of power, so if you are not living 365 days in a very hilly region, it’s not an issue

So after much market research, I come with more questions, seems agent price is near 13mil in almost loaded spec and black imports range from 10.1 mil mid range upwards , so looking at deprecation, I guess we are looking at everything going near the black market price or worse? as we will be letting go of something very reliable and something that will hold value for a while, depreciation is a major concern D*MO has a very attractive warranty and free service plan, and I like the security and peace of mind of the whole transaction. yet the black imports mostly come with a service plan at merc stop, prices again almost 30 to 40k per run, break in period a few early services as well. Opinions? Fortunately or unfortunately the car has grown on me!

KR52 Is petrol with 4wd, people here dont like 4wd Van's and the market is very poor Being petrol thr market will be the worst, unless its converted to diesel like most CR 41 and CR42 has the highest demand being 2c and 3c engines 4wd parts are a bit rare but can be found, these are all common vehicles so parts wont be an issue CR41 CR51 came with 2c engines and are extremely underpowered in comparison Search the forums lot of old discussions noted

Thank you
