That is an actual term that has long been used in SL to describe the beetle model that has crescent shaped vents behind the rear side windows. The plastic in them is black so I suppose it looked like

-- Batu Sunny redda Ussapu Model (Leaf Springs, Diffs,Shackles,etc..are visible at the rear and it became "Redda Ussapu Model")

-- Krushikarma Jeep (4DR5) and with "Uda Pedal" or "Yata Pedal" models...(term "Krushikarama" was tagged for that model because some j44 models were imported brand new for the Ministry of Agriculture and developments at late 70s and 80s )

And the term "Brand New" or "Same as Brand New"

We all know that every automobile ever made came out the factory brand new right? And yet, people use it in their advert.

"Up to 14km/l"

In a best case scenario, yes.. and in a worst case.. it does what 5km/l..? :lol:

"Lady Driven"

Whats so special... besides the fact that the engine RPM never exceeded 2500, and left leg on the brakes, right leg on the gas pedal. In case of a manual, left foot on the clutch all the time..

Oh and on the subject who can forget "Doctor owned", "engineer used" or "Banker owned", all of which are classics!

Hi Guys

And also i have seen

Collectors CAR

NOT FOR TIME WASTERS

BARGAIN HUNTERS

FOR GENUINE BUYERS ONLY

etc etc :)

thanks

IMHO...genuine buyers and no time wasters is sort of a must though it's effectiveness is questionable.

The amount of calls you get when you advertise a vehicle and the utterly retarded questions is unbearable...

We see quite a bit of flack thrown at car sellers...you should see the monkey acts of buyers! :)

Well, you can genuinely want to buy that particular model but if the car isn't up to par you're gonna end up being a time waster. :D

you all forgot the famous Attanayke Model? tongue.gif

Attanayaka Model (Mitsubishi Lancer C11).:

In 1989, when JVP leader Rohana Wijeweera was arrested by the Police at Ulapane while he was appearing as Mr.Attanayaka , a superintendent of a plantation. This incident was telecasting on Rupavahini news and also showed his vehicle Lancer C11. So people started to identify this model as Attanayaka Model.

alloy wheel drive , boku seat

and what is the meaning of "Intelligent Key, Keyless Start Key"

Boku seat must be for " bucket seats " never heard of it anywhere. And the Intelligent key is where the doors open automatically instead of having to press the button, which would otherwise be called a remote key. At least thats what I think.

Manufacturers use keyless authorization systems under different names:
