  1. So what happend to the SL's ?
  2. The sensor works when I switch it on (press the button down), and if not it doesnt work. I switched it on because even when I park is at my garage it gives the beeping noise because I park the front close to the wall
  3. Turns out its a front and rear parking sensor.. Some guys from a merc group said there was a version that came with factory fitted sensors
  4. Yes, figured thats it
  5. Yeah even here there are quite a lot of low mileage SL's as owners drive this only as a Summer Car. And yes the tax for this for me is also around 300 euros per year
  6. Also why is this light from the radio player always keeps blinking even without having to start the car? doesnt the battery consume cuz of this?
  7. Aaaaand a Sneak Peak of the SL320 with the full Panoramic Hard top on
  8. Alright so I finally bought a 1997 Facelift SL320 with 143k km's in the ODO previously owned by Celebrity Thomas Anders from Modern Talking.. I have few questions. When I click on this button in the left, an alarm beeps and the circle in the middle console below the Cassette player starts blinking. What does it do?
  9. Yes. Finally bought a Mercedes SL320 cabrio that was previously owned by Thomas Anders of Modern Talking

      @matroskayes give me 1-2 months il post.. unlike SL, even changing wheels and shit is expensive. Waiting for salary :D

      @iRage - that's a scary thought. Damn it...I can't get it out of my head now.

      @matroska you're welcome :D 

  10. Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Don't forget...getting a 500 instead of a 320 may have additional costs other than the extra 2000euro.
      Will there be a different tax or insurance classification? Based on the higher engine output and perceived extra carbon emissions some countries do have higher road/eco taxes, etc... Also, the higher engine output may also result in higher insurance costs. Then there is, of course, the fuel consumption factor.

      Needless to say, the V8 is what has a reputation for being the fun performance-oriented version.

  11. Editing this post for testing purposes to see if the edit function works :D

      You only live once. Get what you want. If you don't, your relationship, once the honeymoon phase is over, will suffer down the road as you will blame her for not getting what you really want (it will be rooted deeper than it just being a car). Think about it...what's going ot be next ? Spending so much time and money following 80s/90s pop-rock bands around the globe is irresponsible ?

      Besides, your gf should judge how responsible (or not) based on so many other factors instead of just one purchase. Do you work hard for it? Do you make sensible choices in other areas (like where it matters). Just have a conversation with her.  Make her realize that it is not just about mobility. Heck, if it was just about mobility a bicycle would be the most responsible choice.

      Besides, this is an investment. Dude...that old car is still worth 22,000 EUROS !!! Will probably be the same (or even more 5 years down the road). There aren't any other new cars for that price that will not depreciate.

      @iRagethanks mate. I had a long conversation with her and explained and she understood. I got the green light from her to buy it. She said "Go get it Tiger" :D 

  12. Hi Guys.. after 3 years being car-less in Europe, finally I decided to get back in the business again and this time the car I'm aiming to buy is a Mercedez Benz SL320 Old Timer (93/94 YOM). Anybody who has experience with this car wanna share their feedback? PS: Thou shalt henceforth call me BenzLover
  13. I'm going to buy a car in SL for 2 mil while being in Germany. Then I'm going to put up a public raffle draw and pick one lucky winner to gift that car when I have 600 participants registered in the raffle draw. Registration fee for each participant is Rs. 5000/-

    Why didnt I think of this before :D 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Really curious to know what you can get in Lanka for 2 mil these days. It probably is going to be a really old car and most likely one with serious issues/disorders. 

      Oh gosh ! Are you going to raffle off a Presea ?

      This sounds so much like one of those "influencer" things to do...

    2. matroska

      2Mill LKR or 2Mill Euro? If it's LKR, I don't see people queuing up to spend 5,000/- on a 600:1 chance on walking away with an okayish specimen of this. (a minter will cost more)

      Ok then raised the value to 3 million rupees and 800 participants :D 

  14. Saw a Presea in my dreams for the past 3 days. Its so unfortunate that there are no Presea's in Germany 😕

      You're in Germany and the only thing you dream of is Presea?🤭

    2. iRage

      ...because the Germans are wise :) They don't want to over pay for essentially a glorified Sunny/Sentra :D 

      Get yourself a E36 and stick some Presea badges and cut off the door frames. That might help. Failing which....you have two options

      1. Life sized poster print of a Presea.

      2. Do what Joey did...

      Things you can do as a Sri Lankan Living in Germany.

      1. The Primera is probably the closest relation of the Presea you find in Germany. I have seen several in the Nordics. So should be there in Germany as well. Buy one.

      2. Form the 'Nissan Primera Club of Germany' on Facebook.

      3. Find the three other Primera owners in the whole of Germany who use Facebook - all of them happen to be Sri Lankans. Chandana from Dusseldorf, Priyantha from Mageerheingementhstall and Shanaka from Fuglesthenberngehen. 

      4. Have meetups in rundown depressing areas of Germany with the three Sri Lankans and keep posting endless pictures of the meetups. 

  15. Are those old autolankans still around? i.e. @iRageuncle, @matroska aiya, @sathyajithj99 malli, @Davy uncle, @NRX lokka xD

    1. matroska

      matroska

      aye aye Presea Malli.... I'm still here. Not as frequently as I used to be but still here. 

    2. iRage

      iRage

      Yes yes...still here putha :) 

    3. sathyajithj99
