After three months of ownership I took the Alto for a 1700km drive, with 3 people & luggage for 4nights onboard it didnt miss a beat and was quite happy to sit at 100kmph on the highway from Mattala to Kadawatha. There were no complaints from the occupants as well. I think its a good stop gap car· 0 replies

So, now some say personal vehicle imports will commence next year, and prices of existing vehicles will drop?· 5 replies
This poses an interesting argument in my head, I'm not in finance, nor banking, nor a car sale guy,
Just a petrolhead from a Healthcare related background.
So to elaborate,
Hypothetically say imports were allowed, empirically the USD will shoot further-it will be a catastrophic claim where the poor would say, the rich took our USD to bring cars and now we gotta pay 2000 bucks to buy milk?
Thus the price of these New vehicles will be unfathomable for the average joe as after all its paid for in such USD? maybe the first few imports may cost less due to the rate.
Secondly, now as far as I know, there is no guarantee that the govt. will follow the same taxing system as before the imports were restricted, after all they too have to make a buck, and they too have control the seepage of USD.
Could it be just a futile attempt of allowing imports for IMF sake and can they just bottleneck the whole thing with a heap of taxes?
Thirdly there maybe a possibility where they allow vehicles more than 10y old to be reeled in as well, technically "new" yet old models may find themselves here, how will the market welcome these?
Lastly I have noticed a heap of good well taken care of cars paraded on marketplace and various websites, thus I guess its either people wanting to shed off luxuries to save their money or people are hoarding cash for a new car.
Feel free to share your opinions, the more the merrier!, and please correct me if I am wrong
I chose the forum here as the crew would be rather mature than get abused on rapid rev.

Question
carnuwan1
hi gys i drive a swift HTS 51 manual built in 2001
i have a few problems in which i want to get some advice
i am not an expert in cars so i may even make some mitakes in the posting so please bair with me
1 some times when i start the car the EPS indicator on the dash board comes on and the steering becomes very hard
my present garage owner told me to switch off the car wait for some time and then start it works but i wantto know what happens and what i should do about it
the indication does not comes on all the time but specially when i start following a stop after a few meter drive either in the 1 or 5th gear
2since few weeks the CHECK ENGINE SIGN comes on and stays on EVE WITHOUT THE EPS sign not being on the car runs normally and after few kilometers the indicator goes off in its own
the AUTO POWER MIRROR button is not working and has been disconnected
the drivers side window is not working cause of that
however the other windows are working through their own and main pannel switches
i am living in panadura and please can any of you guys recommend an honest place to go near by or even in the colombo area
thanks a lot
bye
