Unsure what price to sell a car?
How much would an Audi A8 (Hybrid) 2013, with 48k kms, 1st owner sell for? Car is obviously in pristine condition. Any guesses on the ballpark? What might make the price increase or not?

bruh @iRage unfortunately no the car isn't upbadged 😛
No the thing is some people had sold for 110, others have sold for 170. Don't want to look back on this and think "damn should've priced higher"

Woke up in the morning to see multiple Presea's for sale around the 1.6 million ballpark. @PreseaLover you know what needs to be done

Went to get the car transferred today, had to pay a luxury tax that hasn't been paid in a while
RMV refused to transfer it until it was settled.
That's a sudden 30k I never imagined spending 😢

Here’s the changes from Customs.
-
I am paying this tax since 2019, first owner has payed the first installment in 2018 when he registered the car. Since then it has to be paid on or before the Revenue license renewal date. However there is no check when I get the new License whether I have paid the luxury tax for the year or not.
The amount to be paid is calculated based on reducing balance basis. So the installment goes down every year. I guess if you want you can pay all in one go as well. They give us 1 or 2 month grace period as well, failing to do so within that period will amount to a penalty charge. Which I had to be paid on the first year. It was 25% or something
edit : I suppose the changes only applies for new registrations since 11-19

Got my vehicle transferred under my name finally on Monday. You need to make an appointment and if you want to go in you need the original txt message sent by RMV or the stupid security guy wont let you in.
Other than that is was a smooth process where i went in at 11.30 and came back and collected the CR sharp @ 2.0 Also no social distancing etc etc. so you need to be double masked/with gloves etc.
Mine was a KL number

I have yet to see a car with a 300k+ mileage for sale in Sri Lanka. Almost all the cars do 100k+ hit 200k and then reverse quite a bit it seems.
Unless there's some weird reasoning, I'm going to safely assume a 20 year old car is close to 250k-300k.

There is a faint tiny rattle sound that shows up on uneven roads (doesn't show up in roads like the Baseline) and it is driving me crazy, I think it is coming from the passenger rear door, sounds like a nail rattling. Anyone know how I can deal with this/ Coping Mechanisms? (that is before I remove the entire car apart to find a loose nail/ gone washer?)

@Hyaenidae I have an InitialD playlist that I bang out all the time, unfortunately the setup I have only supports CDs and Cassetts and I don't want to swap it out to a different setup because the car will never have that original feel.
(Yes I reverse a Camry without Reverse Sensors or camera's, practically drowning in women atm).
togetherrrrrrr................ foreveerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............
Dammit I'll be rewatching it all over again gee thanks

I occasionally come across old threads on this forum (stuff about 8-9 years old) when I'm trying to find something, while there seems to have been quite a number of people active, they did come off as a bit rude and not very welcoming, glad the situation has changed 😛

I remember those threads *evil laugh* Was much younger and then...
Too old to fight now, or tell people off for ruining perfectly good OEM lights and replacing them with Chinese junk lights that only work in the daytime...😁It takes too much effort: So the younger buggers better step up and carry on those grand traditions!
@MaleCortana you've been reading the old threads and taking notes right? Okay, you can be the ring-leader. Right, now go find someone and start giving them hell !!
lol !! I'm joking obviously 🙄 🙃.
I don't remember being mean, but I do remember being a bit disparaging about people who messed with their lights and added dumb cosmetic stuff to their cars, bought Chinese rims etc. Now that I've joined the live quietly, and mind your businesses club- Well, for what its worth: If I offended anyone or caused any of you any distress: ̶S̶U̶C̶K̶ ̶I̶T̶ ̶U̶P̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶G̶E̶T̶ ̶O̶V̶E̶R̶ ̶I̶T̶!̶ ̶l̶o̶l̶.̶ No, what I mean to say is 'Sorry'.

@Hyaenidae Welcoming committee? Didn't meet them
@Kavvz don't get me wrong, next thing you know they'll be butchering cars and putting fiber kits on the car so some level of filter was probably required. But seems like some 'car clubs' started from here and after getting told off moved onto other places
(I saw a thread with the Viva Elite guy and the current Cefiro club guy being told off, (for good reason)

I've been using both since i have owned Cars. quite reliable and reasonably priced as well. im making sure that items is shipped through EMS. if not DHL or Aramex would anyway will go through Customs and slap a hefty Tax. with EMS you can managed it (If you know what i mean) 😉. only once i got a hefty tax due to a A* hole custom officer. like above said, if the package is not weighing much, i don't think it will make any issues. recently got delivered Trim pieces for Vitara (Rear Seat Mount covers) got delivered within 2 weeks of time.

I was looking at where to find my VIN number on Google and it says it should be on the driver side on the dashboard. But my VIN is on the passenger side?!? (Well it could be driver side if my car was left hand drive but it isn't) 😕
-
Yes...for RHDs it will be on the passenger side. It is generally placed on the Left hand side of the car. So if you looked at a LHD market website/manual it will say drivers side.
Usually there is also one under the driver's seat. This one is fairly constant and is almost always under the driver's seat.
-
ohh alright @iRage then why don't they just say left side of car as opposed to driver side or something

Got me grubby hands on a Tenacity Mount and Deep Freeze has both recon and brand new compressors for my barge ❤️ Now the next question, my compressor is making some very little noise, should I just say feck it and replace with a new compressor? (Japan, Denso, costs 70k) how long do these compressors last for? Or shall I buy one and keep? *shudders when I remember how far I had walk around Wijerama hunting for a compressor*
-
An actual Denso one for 70K is pretty cheap. As for the change...depends on what the noise is. If it is because the pully is slightly loose..then I would have forgotten about it...but then if the clutch is acting up or the lines are clogged and causing things to hiss...then it is probably on its way out.
-
@iRage No I don't think the lines are clogged up, apparently the compressor was off for a while and it was low on oil. They told me not to buy a used compressor and keep because there's a chance it will get locked up since oil had run through it at one point. They were alright with buying a brand new one as that didn't have the risk but again said that they will have stock when I come back as well since a very low number of Camry's and RAV4s anyway come to their shop (with the 2.4L)
