Hi, Hope you guys are having a good start of the week.
I have a budget of 3-3.5 mil. I searched through some ad postings and narrowed down a list of vehicles which I like and fit within my budget.
Nissan Primera 2002 (178,500 km)
Hyundai Santa Fe 2004 (118,800 km)
Suzuki Grand Vitara 2005 [2 door] (175,000 km)
Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon 2003 (131,000 km)
I want to know,
If these vehicles are worth for that budget?
Is it easy to maintain / find parts? (I've had bad experiences in the past not being able to easily find parts for my previous vehicle so I'm really concerned about this)
I'm leaning more towards the Grand Vitara or the Santa Fe since I like SUV types. Which one would be the better option out of the two?
Or would you recommend any other new suggestions?
This would be my second vehicle. I work in a hybrid setting so I don't usually drive everyday. Typical mileage per month would be between 450-500 Km. Fuel consumption around 10Km/liter would be acceptable (But this is a low priority focus since like I mentioned, I don't drive daily).
Sold the previous R129 because I didnt like the RIMS. In germany legally you cant change rims easily like we did in Sri Lanka. Now in two minds to buy another R129 or the R230
Of the following what would be the best pick for a hassle-free city-runner /Occasional long distance runner - no frills, just blunt reliable motoring for the average motorist
1- Perodua Bezza 1.0 (2017/18) Pre facelift
2- Vitz KSP130 ~2015(1L)
3- Vitz NSP130 ~2011-2013 (1.3 L)
4- Belta SCP92(1.3L)/Yaris ~2009-2011.
I have decided that it is time for another German, this one has a bit more rust than German, but I wanted a project car, I stalled it a few times from Nugegoda to Nawala until the car fully died infront of the Welikada police station at which point I towed it to a safe place (the door locks don't work). Let's see who can guess the car from an AI generated poem
From the bonnet forward, time slows,
the star at the tip knows the way.
Beneath, a patient diesel turns,
two-point-one litres built for distance.
Four gears, chosen by hand,
each shift deliberate, unhurried.
Chrome catches a seventies sun,
round eyes fixed on a quieter road.
Doors close with a weighty promise,
meant to last for decades.
It never hurries or boasts.
It simply keeps going,
and lets those who know
recognize it first.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
