Excellent cruisers

the VG series engines are fantastic in terms of the power, smooth delivery & responsiveness

quite comfy as well

if at all..only issue is lower second hand value and somewhat scarcity of spares and body parts...especially used stuff from junkers!

[Rohit]

Thank you guys for the information.

What about the fuel consumption?

And i have got a 301- one, what could be the best price i should pay?

Rohit

[Rohit]

Price should be bellow 2 million for the mid 1990's cars (Y33 if i recall right)

Dependant on spec , engine & condition prices may vary from 1.2 Mn upward

shares many parts with cefiro and cedric. 2nd hand parts are not as difficult as some people who haven't used one might think. fuel consumption in colombo for 2L engine might be 5-7.5 kmpl depending on vehicle condition and driving style. very good value for money proposition considering the insane prices of econo boxes like corolla 110s and FB15s.

i can't understand how you expect us to reveal a price without you telling us YOM, condition, engine cap., mileage and no. of owners...

anyway go to this site to understand more about the specific car that might be of interest to you. glorias came with VQ engines too.

Is it the 2L or 3 litre engine?

[Rohit]

Mmmm... engine capaciy is 1,990 CC

Rohit

[isurujosh]

it's got the inferior VG grade engine with only 125 hp (as oppose to 155hp on similar VQ series engine that came on later models)... it's safe to assume 6.5 kmpl in rush hour traffic with careful driving provided car is in good nick. if the car is in very good shape then offer about 1 mil.

[Rohit]

Ooops, his initial offer was 1.4M. Negotiated and brought down to 1.3M. Is it too much??? The car is in superb condition, fully maintained by A*W.

What is the difference between 125 & 155?

Thanks.

Rohit

Hi dude

he is telling about engine horse power rate,(pulling power of the engine)

so in simple words 155 will be having much power than 125

thanks

sumith

[Rohit]

Thanks.

So does it mean 125 engine will have pick up problem? What is the normal ps at 6000 rpm, for example in an fb 15?

And any idea about the best price?

Rohit

about 109 PS (107 BHP)

[isurujosh]

about 105 hp in an fb15. but dont forget fb15 is lighter. besides you wouldn't buy a v6 engined car just to keep up with a fb15 but to thrash it.

da price of 1.3 mil is ok in absolute terms assuming car is in as good condition as you say but in terms of SL market prices it is way too much for such an old car, especially with an older model engine. in any case why not confirm whether it's got VG or VQ series engine. for 1.3 mil you can go for english plate 1998 cefiro A32 with VQ engine in perfect condition or even a 1999 A33 cefiro in so so condition.

but FR > FF

[isurujosh]

but FR > FF

in the context of driving pleasure yes but not in terms of pace to overcome a deficit of 30hp in this case.

[Rohit]

What is meant by FR > FF???

Rohit

[Devinda_Z]

What is meant by FR > FF???

Rohit

FR = Front Engine , Rear Wheel Drive (Ex : Gloria / Cedric)

FF = Front Engine , Front Wheel Drive (Ex : Cefiro A32/33)

> = Greater than

therefore,

Gloria is a better drive than a Cefiro

[Rohit]

Thanks buddy for your explanation

I am learning a lot from here....
