I think 1.64M is too much for EK3 1999 as well. If you come across any around 1.3M - 1.4M let me also know. :jumping-smiley-013:

there was a one advertised on h..ad two weeks back. 1998 for 1.48 ml. did you see that?? that doesnt have the rear crytals. this one is crystal and english plate.

Thats a good deal . Assume car is rear crystal lights and english numbers. Slight concern on the CVT gear box, and would be good if the car was maintained with agent.

A 99 ViRS will be around 1.8 to 2.0, so the difference is justifiable.

But I also saw mannual Accord for that price range, which I though is a much better deal than a Civic. But unfortunately thats the way Sri Lankan second hand market is.....

Anyways its a little too late to know if you overpaid or underpaid after you have alreay bought it.

yeah i know...little too late..!! its rear crystal and GO xxxx ...

so far the CVT looks ok....good pick up too.

i saw the accord but had a concern on the fuel consumption.

i think EK is better on fuel. it did around 12 on my trip to kandy.

Posted
Thought it should do more than 12 out of Colombo ?

could do more than 12....that was just the first trip and was off hand figure.

Yes i think crystle light came for 99/00 model. There was one 302- number for 1.45M in a same but i din't for it b'cos it was Exi not Vi /Vti

Hi did you got your mirror fixed, I have a problem with my left side mirror too. i can adjust it but once i press retract button only right hand side work.. left side give some "takas .. takas noice for about 10 seconds and nothing happen.

I am hoping to remove it by my self to see if the motor id displaced, because i can hear motor works fine.
