For 1.2 litre (1196cc) petrol version of C-HR, total taxes would be around 3,862,000/= including Vehicle Entitlement Levy of 15,000/=. Should be prepared to pay around extra 30,000/- for clearing agent charges as well.

Hi guys, this is my father's swift 2004 1.3cc car. For some time now, an unusual sound comes from the engine bay when engine is started, in low RPMs and also when moving with 'D' but most of the times with lower RPM values. It's more like a 'Grrrrr...' sound. that's how I can explain it. It was checked at a local garage for a possible engine mount issue but they said there's no problem. Still it is there. I have a small video clip but the sound I mention here is barely audible in the video. If anybody has an idea what this might be, it would be of great help to get this sorted out. Thanks.

@Crosswind why did you mention 'worth for the money' there?

Many brands of tyres are discussed in this thread. You may get some information.

one lottery for the vehicle and another for the taxes ?

Let the dreams drive you and you will drive the dream one day, ?? thanks brother...Yeah I have read your thread on E30 enthusiasts. Nice car you got there bro. Always looking if there's anything new on BMW thread. No I hadn't seen that video. Wow... now I like the M5 even more. that mid-drift refueling is just amazing.

I would have been the first to reply unless that eerie thought of being mocked at came into my mind . I know it's just in my head. I am with my very first car (Vitz) now and for some time, I have been growing an interesting crush into Euros (BMW being the first in the list of course). Won't be able to buy one soon though. Going through old threads in AL, looking at ads, following Instagram pages etc... So without more drama, let me tell you what my dream car happened to be. BMW M5 F90 with M-Performance (I am not into racing and drifting but it's look and power surprises me). Definitely not in Sri Lanka but if I could get my hands on one, even for a one day then this ultimate dream will come true ?.

There are a large number of options for you to choose based on individual preferences. Make/Model, Fuel Efficiency, Country of Origin (Japanese/Korean/Indian etc), look and feel Most importantly your intention of buying one and how you intend to use it. There are many threads in this forum that you can read, narrow down your search and even get to know almost all what you need to know. I will share some posts below for your ease. Please note that many price ranges are being discussed in these threads. http://autolanka.com/forums/topic/18991-hatchback-with-good-fuel-efficiency/

New Mitsubishi Xpander is out there but I think it's way over your budget. saw few of them on the road past few weeks. Could be an interesting vehicle to discuss in the future maybe?
-
As long as your vehicle is registered, have the insurance and emission certificate (Also the vehicle's shipping documents, just in case), I think it's fine to take it out. Last year, I took my car to Badulla with all above but without revenue license. I had no any issues (wasn't stopped by police ?). even if you are stopped, you can explain and reason with them. About online revenue license, I tried last year but didn't work due to some system error. Couldn't login with google or any other credentials. But earlier this month, I got my second revenue license online (Uva Province) successfully. It's available for whole island now.

thanks for the information Davy, it's good to have knowledge about the process.

Is this the fate of 3 series as well? What is the significant difference between 3 and 5 series? Both looks same to me. Is it in the power department or dimensions?
-
Hi @Davy, Assuming that you've been through this whole process, may I ask something? When we lodge an application for skill assessment through the relevant authority, how are they gonna verify our claims (education, work experience etc)? I mean do they rely on what we certify and submit or do they perform any checks with relevant sri lankan authorities regarding them? Since they now accept both IELTS and TOEFL I though of doing the latter as I have been through it once.

How is 2016 vitz F Safety 1000cc Car.??
amsandun replied to cham094's question in Car Buying Information
agree with you. My main routes are long distance and outstation (Kandy-Colombo, Kandy-Badulla, Badulla-Colombo). I very rarely drive in colombo city traffic. There are many times I wish I had more engine power to overtake a vehicle and I usually don't push my car to it's limits. -
How is 2016 vitz F Safety 1000cc Car.??
amsandun replied to cham094's question in Car Buying Information
It's the older model (2004 swift). New RS turbo is much powerful. -
How is 2016 vitz F Safety 1000cc Car.??
amsandun replied to cham094's question in Car Buying Information
unless you are into car racing, it's not much of a problem or issue. I drive a 2016 Vitz safety (LED edition) pack. Of course I wish there were more power to it. With the government's funny tax system, it's as far as someone with a budget can go. But it has enough power to get you going. Noise and Vibration here are two separate factors I think. Noise is there specially if when you press the gas bit hard. I never experienced any vibration even at 100kmph on highway whereas my father's swift had it when passing 80kmph mark (feels a shaking on steering wheel as well as on my hands). -
It's a one time payment which is to be paid at the time of importation of the vehicle.

I purchased this (Yi Compact Dash Cam) a few months back and using without any problems. It's front camera only. So badly wanted to get a quality 2-channel camera but gave up the idea due to high cost (a good one with WiFi would cost around 20k+). This one cost me about 9000 with the SanDisk 32GB class 10 Micro SD card. it has wifi and therefore easy to view video clips. This one has good reviews as well. I think It's one of the best choices for a compact, wallet friendly dash camera and it gets the job done very well.

Not exactly based on the CIF as a percentage but Luxury tax free threshold deducted by the Total CIF and the remainder will be the base for above percentages. Currently proposed for certain engine capacities but it is rumored to be applied to all categories in the future (just something I heard).

To my knowledge and experience with my car ( Vitz 2016 Safety Edition), standard safety features includes Automatic high beam, Lane departure Alert (LDA), Traction Control and Pre-Collision System (PCS) which comes under Toyota Safety Sense package. But may vary according to the grade of the vehicle. Most of the 2018 Vitz also has these features as far as I know. Any safety edition should have above features. Better contact your dealer and get a clear idea of the vehicle and its features.
-
I also don't think there are major consequences or major benefits/advantages of either one. But to be frank, I put 95 in my 2016 Vitz because I kind of inherited my father's using of octane 95 in his car. It may be cleaner. And I get average per litre readings. It doesn't effect your fuel economy as far as I know.
-
I don't think the list would change too much from this. have a look so you can narrow down the search.

I agree with @alpha17on this. I too drive a 2016 Vitz and on longer journeys with AC on, there is a noise which can be hard to listen to. Specially if you're driving up slopes or ride on bumpy roads, you can experience the engine revs excessively. It may also depend on the load too. For someone with heavy foot on gas, it will be a noisy drive. But on smooth roads or carpet roads it is not much of a problem. I also came across this very concern last year when I was searching for a car. And went with the Vitz knowing it's pros and cons. Overall, I am really happy with the car and that's all that matters I guess.

Need a professional place to fix dashboard cam

Good video bro... btw, What was that animal? ? -
No permit in Sri Lanka allows you to bring down a Bus using it. You can search online for the vehicle permit circular and there you can see terms and conditions. Only certain types of vehicles can be imported with that permit.
