Nicely put. Now only I know it has relatives in other countries... So yeah Mercedes Citan Tourer badge was what it had. Your chance now.

shall I do the honors then...? This I saw today in Sri Lankan roads...😉

These photos can make us come up with some wild ideas more than car names 😄

I just asked from a guy that handles these vehicle transfers as a side job for extra cash. He said for a normal transfer there's no such barrier but might take 4-5 months to receive the new registration book. In this case, I also think the best option for @Nate is what you have advised above. One day transfer for previous owner and apply a normal transfer to himself.

Wish you all a great year ahead! Let's hope to see some new vehicles around. 😍🙂

Happy New Year brother..correct answer and over to you…

to my knowledge, one day transfer can be done only once per 6 months. If you transfer today in 1 day service, you cannot transfer the same for 6 months.

Ok then, This model has been manufactured for a specific market for a short period. It was based on another popular model by the same manufacturer. A clue is there to identify the specific market I mentioned.

Looks like a vehicle that I am so interested. This is a newer model I think. I like this new stylish look than it's previous models. So it's our favorite Japanese manufacturer's Fortuner right?

I don't know the details or specs much but the look of the Terra got my attention 😛just as I like the Fortuner, though I'm not able to buy either at this time in my life (or not in Sri Lanka)

For <1000cc, Hybrid Part is correct but for Petrol cars Excise Tax is Rs. 1,881,000/- per unit or Rs. 2,300/- per cmᶾ, whichever is higher according to current published tariff in Customs Website.

Something like Carnet I guess. So hope you didn't have to pay all those indicated tax components then 🙂 Yeah if VAT will become payable in future at the time of importation, then this would stop and will be a good relief on public. If you can prove that VAT has already been paid, nobody should be able to add VAT again in a future transaction for the same item.

According to this tax breakdown it seems the VAT is now payable at the time of importation. Did you bring the car under some concessionary terms like some permit? I think vehicle importers or individuals, both will have to pay 18% VAT according to current regulations and tariff (and your case described above).

It won't be the case always. Earlier, up to 3 years meant not from the year of manufacture but from the date of first registration. You could bring down a vehicle up to 3 years from the date of first registration and cancellation certificate of this first registration was a must to include in the documents to import and produce to Customs. So even this 7 year thing too would mean slightly older vehicles than 2018 will be brought down if above documents can be submitted. Excise duty, Luxury Tax maybe correct but VAT... VAT was not a component included in the motor vehicles tariff when we last imported vehicles. VAT was not paid, only Excise, Luxury (where applicable) and a VEL (Vehicle Entitlement Levy) of 15,000/- per vehicle. We were using the right side of above equation for Excise Tax. Taking a Vitz as an example in 2018, excise duty = 996 x 1750 (1,743,000/-) this was what I paid in 2018 for my car. But now that 1750/- per cm3 is 2300/- in current tariff. So there's no VAT paid earlier at the time of importation. But, if VAT becomes payable now, it's a whole different story. VAT base is so ridiculous that it takes excise tax (e) in it too. VAT base would be much higher than the CIF and think of 18% of that base. I think (just my opinion) that all those quoted prices may have been calculated using above Excise tax equation approximately (CIF + Excise Duty + Luxury Tax + VEL ) and because of uncertainty of VAT, they just say +VAT in advertisements. There will be a budget early next year and if they plan to go forward importing vehicles, there'd surely be revisions to current motor vehicles tariff. Then we can know for sure how they're gonna impose taxes on vehicles this time.

Yes it is. Oh even I don't know if Holden or any related models were available here, just got the photo from Web. The model I put here is Holden Commodore Fourth Gen VF (2013-2017) Model. So you or @Gummybr can take the next chance...

Well seems you got it again..land down under is a good clue for anybody if wishes to reveal the make. I wonder whether they were available in old Netherlands 🇳🇱 too😉. There’s many model codes associated with this model over the years. I don’t know if there are much differences among those codes anyway.

Thanks.. Here goes then, Could be easy one for y'all specially with @Gummybr out there I hope you can give the exact model code too.

X55 right?

Jeez I did see this car and only noticed the model name which is obvious. So Beijing is it?

Is he correct? If so we got to perform this test on him.

Thanks for the explanation iRage.

Can you point to that button in your phots please? Does Turn Assist mean something like the current Blind Spot monitoring system?

කෑගල්ලනේ ඉතින් 😁ඕවා nothing...

I think the guy had good business which sold all the lamps and had to put up a bite shop 🤩
