Panchikawatta also Europe Carat GIG Building, bit expensive, try to negotiate

For 1988 ? must have been a 16 - number like then. So it was originally a basic W124. Converted only to diesel or have they converted the version also, like the buffers, bonnet. dickey lid etc to make it look like a E class W124 latter version too. What no 64- 65- or 325- When and where (who) has done the conversion. If the conversion was done at famous Dayaratne bass at Kirillawela you could check with him But pls check when the conversion was done, did they just swap the engine or whether it was rebuild before fixing, how many miles it has done after the conversion, also how many owners, how is the body and the interior condition. Price depends on lot of factors, but if you look around you could buy a decent original diesel or even a converted one for 2 mil Good luck.

Hello Firstly what are you looking at. Do you want a merc, petrol or diesal, is the budget limited etc. 1. 2 mil - depends on the model, type of converstion, original engine, how did they couple the gear box ( depending on the mdl) and 2. If it's conversion to match teh original spec and done properly there isn't much of an issue 3. Mercs generally are quite easy to maint and you get mostly original or OEM parts at competitive pricing. 4. Spare parts freely available, at the agents, private shops. good luck and welcome..

These are not Gangarama Temple cars, these belongs to Dias's of Somerwilles. Some cars are ex temple owned, some of these are still repaired / maintained at the temple garage.

Hear that those were already purchased and stocked before the duty was brought down.

Looking at Sunday papers and AL car ads still most of the sellers are quoting good old prices. The only change in pricing that was noticeable was like the 121's, FB15's and the Marti's

I think most Sri Lankan's are more towards the British / Conti classics well we have a long history with them. So American classics are not too hot

Ohhh, Don't talk abt those idiots, well that's not the word, worse than day light robbers. One gotto hv an experience to realize how bad they are

To add to above, if you have imported the vehicle under your name you may have to bear the VAT. In other words if you are not a VAT registered customer you will not be able to issue a VAT certificate for the purchase, so you may be paying VAT twice over, that is once at the point of clearing and the other with your lease rental every month. So it is better to check all these now itself with your bank or the finance leasing company, well a way to over come the above VAT issue is to obtain a personal loan for the vehicle. Good luck

No, not the Park Rd.

Also, one of the main UK exporter to SL LR's in either container loads or as cannibalized has got caught in the UK as most were stolen vehicles. Police has cracked down on the last shipment and the team who was assembling were raided by the Mirihana Police.

HI Surf's after 1995 is not a road runnner version, that was the older version. Well I used a surf (well 2 one pre 95 and one 99 with the newer engine) for some time for the same purpose as what you are looking for and below are my comments. 1. Day to day to work horse - yes it's a decent practical helpful vehicle. but the decent off roading was bit poor as what I had was an auto, most of them are Auto. Also, the 4WD selector is by a switch (not a manual diff lock). Switch works on a Solgnoid and if you don't use it regularly the switch may not work properly, which actually happened to me and got stranded in the middle of nowhere and Police came to my rescue. 2. Turning circle is bit poor for city traffic. 3. the 2.5 L turbo engine version pulling power was bit poor, the later version with teh 3 ltr engione was better 4. Fuel consumption on both was bit too high in city doing about 6-7 kmpl. Other than that its a quite practical and bit more comfortable than the double cab. As Devinda feels I believe most of the English numbered ones are locally assembled.

What do you mean after using, have you been using other than fully syn before and now you have changed? Slightly Depends on the oil too, generally you could do about 6000 km though at agents were told Mobil could do even up to 10,000 km's or 6 months. But I hv been changinging around 6000 due to idle running at traffic, of course running fully syn from day one.

The terms & Conditions of teh permit says that you cannot rent,

Best place is Milroy at Kelaniya. Be careful if you are thinking of taking in to the Borella so called BMW workshop.

I believe it's 20% from the total windscreen area.

As per Sunday Times / Daily Mirror Front window tints banned Sunday, 09 May 2010 13:30 The police have begun tracking down vehicles that have any kind of tinted glass in the front windows on a directive from the Ministry of Defence which states only clear glass should appear in the front windows of all vehicles.

One day service yes, provided you have not had a one day service within the precedent year (this is a new rule) if so you got to wait for 3 weeks or so...

Hi, thank you for diiging up,, I am still in the hunt for covers. See, if you do the waxing, it will sort the paint / exterior to an extent, my issue is other than that interior, chrome parts etc,,

Congrats, all the best, run little slowly for the first 500 - 1000 km's and do a oil change with the filter .

121 depends on what version the export model which is imported as brand new car which got a different suspension ids poor compared to the same model JDM.

On the Cefiro - Check the Speed Sensor, if it is gone or even if the the sensor is not reading properly this could happen, I am sure Nissan experts may add more..

Why not try showing to the agents and get their opinion...

Oooppss.. Or is it a right car in the wrong hands...

Good Luck, learning curve, be happy as still u can come around in few days ...
