lol 😅 too versed with pugs now. ok here you guys go-

Pug 607?

Glad that you enjoyed the read 😁 The thing with the big name garages are that they not bad all the time, but when chance's arrive they take it! Most 508 owners and even 3008/5008 get hold of a technician who works at carmart and gets work done at their residence or the techs residence. It’s actually much cheaper and the work quality is better. Keep carmart at a distance for any software updates or parts on discount. You might be able to get a recon engine from the salvage cars imported from UK. Make sure that its the good engine type. I’ll update my blog soon with all the horrors of them 508s 😅 JK 2.5L per 2500 sounds little serious. I would go asking around. Carmart actually never did recalls or service campaigns in a proper manner, so Im not surprised. Even the BPGA unit was faulty and had a service campaign,but carmart did nothing. wow major OT. so how many chicks you picked with FD1? Pulls near the ANC and Bishops College around 1.30? 😅

The D8 406 is anyway under 2 million. Only the D9 goes over 2 million. -
Looks mean! Only 10 manual FD1’s made it to Lanka, so pretty special. Pulls tad bit faster than the auto with paddle shifters. I remember doing 180 on the E03 at midnight about a decade ago. Not recommended now. Used to give some bigger more powerful cars a good scare. Is the exhaust worked on or stock? Try to get the seats redone in leather, ours had half leather like them vezis. Looked very premium. Ours was done to factory quality at deens. Ironically… I also own a 508 now and was ripped-off at Carmart. Avoid that place. Find an independent technician who visits your place or you can drive to his place. These big name pug garages have a tendancy for tooth extraction and scamming.Right @AVANTE ? Is the 508 petrol? If it is… Oil burning- just THP things. Was the engine changed/overhauled under warranty at carmart? The THP engine had a recall from Peugeot that carmart did for free. cheers!

If you are ok with slightly higher repair costs. The best car for 1.5Mil is probably the Peugeot 406 D8. Looks good,drives good,good market, fuel is also very decent. Comfy,safe and has some class to it also. You can bargain a good example under 16. Find a honest technician and you will be good to go. Please find a good car with all repairs done,or you will hate everything about Peugeot. Or if you can go for 2.5Mil, you can get a nice D9 406 with sunroof,leather,cruise control, electric,heated seats yada yada. Can be sold in a week. Really good car. @AVANTE is the resident 406 expert.

You win. Would love a bit of history on these if anyone knows. Very rare here (Never seen one before) and hardly any info on google.

Hint- its from the uk

Missed a Lancer Flat light 5FWD 6 Meter in mint condition by the 💇🌴

No sir

Thanks Gave a full pic. Any guesses? recently. People on the streets were really interested in it.

Citroen xantia?

The agents specifically mention that only 95 octane is allowed. Plus the puretech engines are garbage. The mechs love it nobody else really. The fun starts at around 75k. Stick to 95. Also the fuel quality is trash now. So not even 95 is trusted. Price gap sucks yes, but overhaul bills cost 800k. And the HP fuel pump is 350k even imported.

Every Business named here is known to screw people over. The punchi car place is for the low -iq poor working class people who will vote for the same 225 and complain about taxes and what-not. The type who complain about a TIN number but will sell their sack to go to a Nordic country with >50 taxes. I can go on and on, but need I really say more? Please tell me you weren’t inspired by the punchi car buggers cringey youtube channel with an ugly chick hosting? “ The sudu oya mage wenwada man waGON R ekak oyalagen gattot” blokes love that channel. Automiraj has linked up with them to scam people. Automiraj in general has subpar workmanship. Watch their very own youtube video, quality and finishing sucks. Sterling is a hit or miss, got too big to handle and the mafia kind of took them over. Would not pay extra money to get that warranty. Got a friend who’s a mech? These are simple cars. Someone with a brain and experience should fix it fast and efficiently. I fix my complex cars at home with a mech @AVANTE introduced. A beer and few thousand bucks is all it takes. Hard thing is actually getting the guy to show up as high in demand. See now, thats why I buy unreliable cars only… I look cool stranded and the females dont seem to care win win. And I spend less money than most with a Jap ecobox… 😅😅 -
About 20mil was the moving price. Keep about 1.5 million for repairs. Most are tired and run to the ground.

Can holy thou make Peugeot’s more reliable? Keep the 5 million usd. Just make the damn thing run goddamnit. @AVANTE nadda bro? -
I’m actually looking at non oem options. The stock bulbs are not my favorite. It doesn’t have to be super cheap. But not too outrageous. @iRage are these bulbs universal? Example the H7 xenon bulb on ebay, can it be used across any car that takes H7 and has xenon?

We actually did have a hybrid fd3 alongside the fd1 that belonged to a cousin. The fd3 is not known for its durability or its economy. IF you find a good example, it’ll be ok. But other than that, it’s not worth it. Most in Lanka are hacked and the cell replacement almost never works. An aqua I know got cells replaced, but even that did not last long. It was replaced by the famous cell guy in the gampaha side. Also on the FD1s with the hps, yes it leaked every 10 years. Worth it because the eps was worse to drive. Also a plus for the FD1. Resale and maintenance is easier since most people don’t like to buy or repair hybrids. but thats just my personal experience.

What happened to the good ol days when you bought that halogen from the handiya kade, for 200 rupees and plugged it on the side of the street. My 508 also is showing a weaker light on one side. Cost seems about same as @K.o.N.o.S Quoted. Plus mine is even harder to find. @Sir Lancerlot sir care to find me a bulb that fits? It's a H7 Xenon.

FD1 is the best (unless you find a fd2) FD1- 1.8L engine. Good power and good economy. Around 8kmpl city and 14kmpl outstation. Has options like paddle shifters and sunroof. FD2- it’s the type R. Very rare and very expensive. I imagine you know what the type R is. FD3- hybrid. Battery is bit weak. Not a big gain financially because money saved in petrol will be sent on the hybrid bits. There was a member here who had one. Only model to have 8 airbags IIRC. FD4- basic and underpowered. 1.6L engine thats not that fun,little slow and not that economical overall. 9.5 city and 12kmpl outstation. Car too heavy for that engine. Find a manual FD1. Best economy and power!

Speedo might be off abit. Other than that the suspension might be affected. But Dont quote me on that. @iRage is the best guy for these questions.
