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/-· 3 replies
Why didnt I think of this before

So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD· 5 replies
My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?

Question
Dushyantha
Hey guys . im on the hunt for a Classic mini . browsing through the AL posts i learned a lot of stuff .
From what i gathered i think its better to stay away from the cut buds . and the dodgy registration ones .
and the A pillars , the front near the windshield , under interior carpets are spots to find for severe rust.
some people register minis to Morris minor books.
Most of the Minis that i looked had their bodies replaced with newer model bodies . some were in pretty good nick . good straight body and all .
So these are my questions .
i would like a mini with the new teak dashboard , airbag , new engine and all those things but apparently these are the new ones that are bought down in pieces and welded together ,and then registered with a different book .
also i would like to stay away from a rust bucket .
P.s . any other pointer as to what to look for when buying a mini and the current market value of them are welcome .
