I'm looking to buy my first vehicle before going to my intern. It'll be used both outstation, highway and Colombo suburbs driving.
I'm not specifically looking either for something sporty to drive or something very fuel efficient so anything in the middle grounds would work well. No family burden currently so doesn't matter whether it's a sedan or a hatchback. Budget is 6-8 M.
I usually maintain any vehicle nicely but MOST IMPORTANT is that the vehicle should be reliable without giving me sudden hiccups.
I like the Axio NKE-165 but a little bit afraid due to shady practises in SL and cause of the poor maintenance by most Sri Lankans.
Would value your expert opinions very much. @Dee Jay@iRage
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
