As you mentioned these were a hit in the middle east, my dad too had one. Used to do easy 1000km a day. When they put it away it had closed over 400 000km with the stock engine and transmission. The front end was totally sand blasted though. I dont recall what the engine was but they have a very high end trim there.

Is this car J*-**** V*P single digit no. I might have seen it today in katana?

You will have to go to center in the relevant province

The document goes to the previous owners address on the CR

Subtle suggestion Since u love 90s cars so much, do taste something larger with more power like a Mark2 or something, life will never be the same again. Cheers

Pernit Import that was transferred with transfer tax paid.

That an atrocious amount for a used hilux but given the times it's fair. Main issue is injectors, make sure they've been taken care of, regular cleaning and used super diesel etc Also based on the mileage check if the preventive maintenance has been done, Timing belt, tensioner, ATF oil changes Also periodic lubrication of all universal joints. If any of the above have not been done you may end up replacing bits so keep a budget if atleast 200k lkr for those If it's a UK pickup check the chassis for rust and the front end for heaps of corrosion. Also check the AC condenser and Radiatior which may also be rotting away, unless changed of course. Lastly the auto one does like 7 to 10kmpl 1KD and about 10kmpl 2KD. The common rail rattle is normal, but they dont smoke much, if they do in white its leaking injector seals, or poor compression or turbo issues If they smoke heavy in black, could be blocked injectors etc If it's a 1KD, may have a DPF, pay attention to if it has been clogged, cut off or properly deleted etc. Check If the 4wd light is blinking on test drives, NOT WHILE ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING; that indicates a fault the system, could be lubrication to missing parts so beware. They should pull very well almost like a car so if it's slow thats a red flag. Go super OCD on the mileage as most vehicles had done over 100k miles when they reached SL except for personal imports and Thailand ones. Obviously were paraded in sales with under clocked mileages. Furthermore locals also go ninja on the odos lately. As far as I know the engines can manage 500k km if taken care of and can also be worn off by 200k km if abused. Gearbox also depends on maintenance and usage. They are incredibly reliable vehicles therefore most preventive maintenance is likely to have been overlooked and can be hiding small errors all over. Then again it's not that costly to repair. As long as you have a budget of like 200k to 300k set aside for repairs, you are safe unless it's a worn engine or gearbox. Expect about 50k in annual maintenance if you run 10k to 15km a year and do a proper service all round. As it's a pickup dont go anal on the body condition, do not overlook the above. I had one for a while sharing based on experience dated 10 years from now, so there maybe newer data out there

Sadly the enthusiast in me nods to the mini being the best choice to OP But Sri Lanka being well versed in cheating with minis, 1.5mil is likely to fetch you a con. My neighbour apparently used to have a mini parked in front his house, well done up, wide wheels etc Despite both us being car fanatics he was very shady when he came to talking about the car. It was on the curb for ages, a faily runner which he supposedly borrowed from a kingpin businessman in Kandy. Well it was all an alibi for the car had some dodgy paperwork and after about 2 years he finally got copped, and the legal proceedings are still in place. So unless its 100% clear or the documents match the car 100% stay clear. Will not talk about practicality and running expenses as they would be the least of the problems.

Why dont you do a custom build for all of the following. You ll get better power gains as well with more durable parts. Viscous fan - use an electric fan, or a pair with a nice race spec radiator, also will come with the expansion tank The fan shroud problem is also eliminated Turbo hoses, you can find silicone hoses in all shapes and sizes. They dont deform much and withstand heat much better Air filter housing, use an after market filter assembly, branded of course, K&n cone etc Unless you are planning to sell or flip the vehicle the above replacements are upgrades to the stock setup so you ll be fine. Only part you need to look for stock is the steering stabilizer link.

My wifes dinged up our one, not a panel without a scratch, it's an Led ver, with all that noobs are offering un the 5 mil range now lol. Its not even for sale

Research all the content on the Vitz, you ll find enough data to use that car for a million miles, 5w- 30 is ideal as its turbo

Even 3 cyl would do lol

Sounds like straight pipe

Please start a separate thread, much love to see these attainable classics being restored!

Can be done talk to an expert like Bruce ( Bruce motorsports ) or sacha (WEPR) Only cons I can think of are Its not a small job, lot of fabricating involved. Cost, expect atleast 500k LKR in cost wherever it is. Reliability, till things are fine tuned you will have issues Engine might need a rebuild or onceover to hold up with the setup if you are into high miles, Please go ahead with it!

Could be better if you can specify which year and transmission etc A 4m41 off a montero will span about 800k LKR and go upto 1 Mil based on bits included 4m41 has a bit more grunt but also a troublesome engine, sometimes a proper OCD level rebuild of a 4m40 might be worth it in comparison to a 4m41 from a half cut car. Of course you get to brag about the 3200cc but in reality even a 2500cc 4d56U turbo can make that power in their newer guises in newer models. Of course it can be done and there are people, depending on your locality. My knowledge is a bit dated on DMT matters but AFAIK there is a CC limit you can go in an engine upgrade. So check with them or else your vehicle wont be road legal, and given the times selling will also be a nightmare given the CR is not updated

It's an unreg car btw. Auction grade 4.5 The interior black, is some carbon fibre edition. Has many parts including the seat inserts. The car is Silver. Doesn't have fog lights. Rest all there. I prefer to have the brown or white I saw Octaneheads car on fb. I think his price is on the high side for a used car rego 2018, sweet mods though. And I would love to have a manual, I actually drove another manual car in kurunegala, was a little beast but the 7 speed simulated CVT is also almost the same, besides my wife wants to drive it time to time thus I opted to stick to auto. The purist in me succumbed to the performance of the cvt. I dont know how but I was convinced The car has run approx 3000km in SL, that bit I dont know how. It was auctioned on 27 Nov 2017. In SL by Jan 2018. They've been quoting 38 as it's an "edition" The seller says the car was moved between their branches. This car was brought to my reach through a long term dealer I have known almost 30 years, my parents too got cars though him since 90s. He ain't coming below 32 Anyways still contemplating. 3 more people are eyeballing the car since it was bought to kandy for my inspection. Toyota Lanka denied inspection as they dont do Daihatsu. So Car Checks is the only option, despite the sellers enthusiasm to get It inspected, i do not have the time to haul it to Colombo. I've asked the proprietor many times to open a branch in Kandy.

Would 32 be decent for an unreg car Auto, 2014, 10k mileage genuine, personal import auction sheets verified physically and online Also btw can a car have several auction sheets days apart, some mention "sold" some mention "finished" No mileage tampering noticed between the auction sheets except perhaps about 117km run in between. No accidents seen in both. One sheet was from kobe, the other was from osaka Again all verified online with payment. What do u think

Tried both today, can't fit in the s660 Lovely interior though I saw cars from 39- 32 They are quoting insane figures, insane for a kei Most are advertised at 39, they settle at 3750 37, Way too high for my budget. Let's see

I too am having issues with the boss, the boss went on to levels to claim that I have another boss on the side and wants to impress her with a flashy sports car! Anyways Robe S is kinda rare here, if you do know someone who wants to sell theirs please let me know. Again please do share anything on the subject as i tend to keep it as a project car lifelong

How much should I be looking to pay for a copen or s660 Registered / Unregistered, appreciate some advice please
