  1. When are you going to realize that the only chics you are going pick with cars like these are dudes with wigs ? <If you've seen the movie you will understand the reference > Now..a blinged out Akua, Pirius (GSpots is better) or a Benz...that is a different story.

  2. Aight Imma say it: the amount of repairs and the cost you end up having to eat sound quite excessive for a 6-year-old Japanese car in all honesty... is she worth all this trouble and cost? There is also the issue of a potential timing belt failure

  4. The sad reality is realistically there is no end in sight for the import ban. With an honest and educated society the government would have been able to start allowing limited imports into the country (e.g. X number of vehicles between A- B USD, etc...). However, lets be honest...honest and educated are not adjectives we can use to describe our masses. Our guys (from politicians all the way down to the brokers) are going to cheat and lie in every possible way possible so that also will not work.

  5. Looks like I seem to have taken over the title to the only active member with Peugeots. Honourable mention @AVANTE. Hopefully did not miss anyone else. Peugeot offers good value for money and are loaded with toys. but regular maintenance is required and sometimes can be pricey. Very nice to drive safe cars. Not for faint hearted as these do like to throw issues. Mostly electronic issues, which turn out to be easy cheap fixes. but time and expertise is required. NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A 121/ALLION OWNER LOOKING TO GET "PRESTIGE" ON A BUDGET. SORRY Since I'm bored, I decided to make a comprehensive study on the French fry AKA Peugeot. Covering Peugeots from the 90s to current models. Mainly talked about are 206,406,407,508,3008,5008 as these are common cars for us. Let's start with the Negatives first. Posting in table format for easy reference. PRICES ARE IN LKR AND BASED ON SRI LANKAN RATES AT THE MOMENT. WILL BE CHEAPER OVERSEAS. I will make edits or changes with time if required. I do not take responsibility on anything and claim to be an expert. Compiled from experience and help from Peugeot Technicians. Some of these negatives apply to all Euros and even some modern Japs. Negatives Fixes and avoidance guide Average cost 1 Electronics are questionable Biggest let down. Come to think of it, All euro cars have rubbish electronics. Will leave you stranded more than once if you don't rectify asap. had to learn the hard way. At least the wires don't melt like my Alfa 156. tops at around 100k 2 Complex suspension Good handling and comfy. But like all euros they are expensive and complex. Ride smooth. Slow down for pot holes/bumps. 407 had some fancy suspension and was known to wear out faster. 150k to 500k 3 Interior dislikes hot climate Get good quality tinted(50K) done. Use a windscreen shade when parked. Avoid parking under direct sunlight for extended periods. Replacement parts are actually very cheap. Unlike bmw spares, that cost the sky and melt if you even stare too hard. 50k 4 parts are expensive depending on the location and accessibility In Sri Lanka parts are often more costly and bit low in stock. Malaysia & Dubai stock for cheap. Ali Express.com has OEM parts for cheap with shipping to Sri Lanka. 5 Needs specialised technicians Like all euro cars. Everyday bush mechanics do more harm than good. Company is subpar in Sri Lanka. Prices can be a hit or miss from them. 6 Engines from BMW MINI (Prince THP) are troublesome Fun and very rev happy. sounds good. can do anything from 4kmpl to 15kmpl depending on the driver. Best avoided. If buying. Make sure engine has been overhauled with the corrected parts. HP fuel pump/injectors are known to fail also. Injectors-35k. HP pump-250k. Overhaul cost-400k plus 7 AL4 gearboxes are troublesome. Solenoids are known to fail. Not too hard a fix. Expertise needed. Regular preventive maintenance is key to no issues. 50k 8 Paint can be hit or miss Paint can fade/bubble over time. Rust is also sometimes found. Garage usage is advisable. Company rates are ok. But needs to be micromanaged 16k to 400k 9 Periodic timely maintenance is a must (not a negative, but Lankans think it is) Maintenance must be done on time. Cannot leave behind for later. Esp 5w30 Oil is expensive in Sri Lanka for unfathomable reason. Older cars can use regular synthetic oil and full service cost is on par with japs. Filters are cheap and plentiful. Oil can be bought cheaper overseas. 10k-175k for full service in Sri Lanka Includes gear/brake/coolant fluid change 10 3rd party spare are not common Cheap non oem parts are hard to find and easily perishable. Advice not to use non oem parts. 11 1.2 pure tech engines issues Powerful and fun. Sound good. Will be worn out faster because turbo & small engine works harder than higher capacity engine. This is relevant to all small turbo engines from any manufacturer. Will need overhaul by 200k. ALSO SOME ENGINES HAD TO BE OVERHAULED AROUND 30K DUE TO DESIGN FAULT. DONE FREE AT AGENT UNDER WARRANTY. MAKE SURE THIS WAS DONE BEFORE PURCHASE. 500K UPWARDS 12 3008/5008 Power steering rack Was changed free at agent under warranty. Was partly due to bad driving/roads. CHECK BEFORE PURCHASE 250k upwards RUNNING REPAIRS AND SUCH. Very similar in price to other brands. THIS TABLE IS ACTUALLY FOR 1ST TIME PEUGEOT BUYERS. PRICES ARE NOT SCARY AS THEY SAY. WILL ALSO HELP 206,406,407 OWNERS NO DOUBT. Intervals have been posted after getting recommendations from several experts who work on PEUGEOT. Intervals may vary and should use caution always. May have missed some. This table is for Peugeots from the 90s onward. Part/s Price (LKR) Interval (KMs or time) Advisory TIRES 20k to 75k Depends on tire. Usually 45k kms. Tires cost the same as other Japs & Euros. Use softer tire because suspension can be damaged with hard tires. Dunlops are a good balance between price and quality. Brake pads 7k to 20k Last long really. Usually every 40k kms. Available from 3rd party junk to brembos. My 508 cost 16k a pair in todays prices.oem. not bad at all. 406 and them still cost under 10k. Depends on driving habits. Brake discs 10k to 60k Same as above Unless a stone or something scratches the discs, they last long and don’t screech. Of-couse brakes depend on the driving habits. Any Filter 2k to 5k Every 10k for oil filter. Cabin/Fuel filter every 20k or as advised. Easily found. AUTOGear oil 25k-100k Older pugs I’d say at least every 25k. Newer pugs say lifetime but I’d say every 40k -80k to be sure. Overseas it’s 20K MILES for older pugs and 50-80K MILES for newer. But in Lanka better change bit earlier because of harsh conditions. Lifetime oil is bs. Newer pugs need 4 Litres of gear oil that cost about 80k. Engine oil (older pugs) 10k- 20k For older non turbo cars. every 10k if synthetic or 5k for mineral oil. Cost the same as an average car. No any special recomendations. Engine oil (newer pugs) 50k average 508,3008,5008 and other newer models. Every 10k. Please do this ritually or you will have problems. Esp 5w 30 is recommended. But please check with agent/ booklet to make sure. Mobil 1 or Total is recommended. AC GAS 10k to 75k Re-gas as neccesary. or check every 2 years. R-134A (or HFC-134a) for most cars before 2016. Cost peanuts to gas. The post 2016 onwards it was mainly R-1234YF (or HFO-1234yf) gas. Now that’s expensive. About 50k usually. Check under hood to confirm type. This Is also the same as any brand. Clutch @AVANTE I need help on this Brake fluid 5k Every 2-3 years is what’s followed in Lanka. So far no horror stories. If you use brakes a lot due to racing or traffic. Better go case by case basis. COOLANT 25k max Every 5 years. Almost never changed in Lanka. Some might change even sooner. Water is not ok. Use a reputed brand. STR sold in supermarkets is water with green dye. Ask me how I know. SPARK PLUGS 2k to 6k each Pug recommends 45K kms. Can attest to that. Cleaning and checking won’t hurt I’d say. Ignition Coils 10k upwards each Check every 20k. Lankans change when busted only. Usually can run for 5 years. Buy and keep from overseas as is very cheap there. Battery 40k to 125k Battery prices are crazy now. Used to be half this. I’d say with prices now, run it dry. Don’t let that mfr die. Expensive af. My 508 cost me 68k for a new brand. Amazon is about 90k. Shock absorbers. 15k to 45k Inspection is the best identifier Wide variety. Can even be rebuilt which I don’t prefer. But not too bad really. Axle oil seals 25k leaks gear oil. common issue after about 10 years. easy fix needs some disassembly to fix. so better to use qualified technician. to be updated.

  7. Again...I would not say its possible nor would I say you can't. Sorry, really not an answer to your question. If your engine is in good health and you do normal low-intensity runs with the engine coming to proper operating temperature, then yes you would increase the possibility of getting closer to 10K. But the reality is that the quality of the fuel, quality of air being induced into the engine, etc... would also affect this. So, although the oil might suggest 10K and you do low intesity, low stress runs, in reality, this would actually reduce. So...it is all very contextual. The reality is that everyone, from the manufacturers to garages to service stations, gives you a standard recommendation because that would be the safest way to go about it. Otherwise, they would have to come up with 1000 different oil change recommendations, one for each of their customers. So, it is best to figure out what is best for your car by actually studying/observing it.

  8. Yes correct @harshansenadhir this was the best picture I could find of the rear angle I wanted. Interestingly the rear has similarities with the main rivals of BMW & Mercedes models. The rear lights specially would have confused people to thing of the BMW 5 series gen 1. Its a very clean classic yet beautiful design in my eyes.

  9. It was and always is inevitable for those types to take over these platforms. It's partly because being a true car enthusiast in SL is next to impossible now. It costs way too much to do any kind of decent builds or to actually own interesting cars (let alone run them). So with the ever-dwindling enthusiast group it is only natural that the common car users come hoping to find answers on fuel consumption of Vitzies and resale values of Premios and who else would respond to them other than the broker crowd ?

  10. instead our society will exploit every possible loophole. An election gimmick aside, i don't see SL go back to importing vehicles - as for the prices of current vehicles dropping - even if they do start importing I don't think any new vehicle will be priced in a range for existing vehicle prices to drop - considering the potentially hefty taxes and exchange rates. These rumors' go in cycles - car sales, and buying and selling people first propagate a rumor that imports will open up and people sell in a panic at low prices. Then the car sale folk hoard a lot of vehicles. Then they start jacking up the price and spread a few rumors that imports will not happen for many years. Price goes up. Now they have exhausted their stock and the common folk (non-car-sale people) have also jacked up the price. Then again the imports are opening up in xxx months story goes on to drop the price. I have seen this trend for the past year or so. The used car market is now the car sales/brokers playground now - I have been a heavy critic of car-sales , brokers and buy-and-sell folk. This led to me being blocked and banned from a popular automobile group on social media(name refers to fast revs and racing)

  15. Out of the two the comfortable (with available options included in the comparison) and the one with less maintenance cost would be the FIT GP1. However, the Aqua would be a little bit more fuel efficient. The FIT GP1 battery is more reliable than the Aqua's however, be sure to check the Usable Capacity of the hybrid battery before going for it. Anything below 20% means you would need to attend to the battery. Anyway since you are going to buy a car that has been used over a decade, you will need to spend some money on maintenance to get the car into a sound mechanical shape be it the FIT or Aqua. The amount you would need to spend and the things you would need to attend to would depend on how well the previous owner took care of it. So get both of them inspected and if possible get a car with an honest maintenance history. You can choose based on your preference which model to get and look for a good condition specimen as well.

  17. You're now stimulating the soft spot I had towards 508 but the premature engine wear and tear still keeping me away from that gen of Peugeots. Big mistake by reducing the pot capacity and trying to yank out more power. Also this reminded me of a 607 which only had 16k on odo sometimes back and a guy had jumped in thinking it's a minter since low mileage. ended up fixing almost all the car due to various issues. Personally I don't prefer low mileage cars rather will go for decently driven yet well maintained specimens.

  18. Another price update (508 1.6thp) Engine bottom mounts-35,000 New solenoids and misc on starter motor-18,000. New motor is 100k plus. A/C Blower unit- 50k as told. Will update. Cooling fan- 105k. Got me a mint recon from dubai for 45k. Mine is going through a full mechanical restoration due to being parked for months on end and a rat attack. Almost two months now. So far runs like a dream, Electronics are being looked into atm. Please use a covered garage and never let it sit on rain when possible. Also try to drive these cars as much as possible. Mine drove < 5000kms in 2022 and 800kms in 2023, that did not end well. The more you drive the less it actually goes wrong. Guy I know has a 3008 with 25k thats a real leda goda, another fella with a 100k plus 3008 runs like a biatch. Some parts mentioned were replaced for preventive maintenance.

  20. Uhh..it could be something like the ABS actuator or something getting activated. In which case it is quite normal (in some newer cars you would even here a hissing sound coming from the car after you have turned it off and walked away from it because of systems like the EVAP system getting depressurized). Sounds/noises are really hard to comment on without actually listening to the sound and trying to trace it to what is creating it. So...it could be something normal as above (which is highly likely) or something totally different.

  21. quite reasonable considering cost of living these days. never looked at dealer except when getting some minor accident repairs for 407 and buying small bits and pieces (engine cover retainer clips and door window guide for 406 which was nowhere to be found). Test drove 508 back then but didn't move into, rather walked away from the brand.

  22. Thanks. Actually I was looking for an Elite first when they were around 3 million . Then all of a sudden prices went over 3.5. Anyway I'm happy with the purchase. Drove the car and it was quite good and the pick up is better than I expected from a 1L engine. Enough leg room and head room, also there's better boot space compared to WagonR.

  23. A lot people will tell you that the ban will be lifted (1. car resellers wanting to buy cars cheap for higher resale. 2. Maybe this could happen with the elections in the horizon) Other than that the main issue Sri Lanka has is the fact that we do not have sufficient foreign reserves. Why do you think they want to extend the moratorium on debt payments till 2027? The foreign reserves of the country still stands at US$ 5.5b this is without paying any debts, imagine if the country opens up for vehicles and if history repeats itself you will have thousands of cars coming in and then you look at the outflows that 5.5b will be gone in an instant. (a small car will be approx. US$ 10-15,000 into 1000, a luxury car at US$ 40,000 into 100 these are conservative figures) Just imagine with the migrant workers permits the majority of vehicles imported are luxury cars (almost 100-150) all above Rs. 40mil and only about 20-30% lower priced mass cars below Rs. 20mil.

  24. Congrats on your purchase!!! That seems to fit your (or better-halfs) requirement well - there's ample space and the tech on these cars are simple. Actually I learnt a lot when we had a Kelisa - it is an ideal beginners car. RE the viva elite - prices are touching 4 Mill now - there are a lot of manuals converted to auto - using recon gear boxes from Daihatsu Mira's these are poorly done jobs resulting in various issues and most of the swaps are done using the gearbox designed for an 800 cc version of the Mira. Of course the VIN can be used to decode if it was an original Auto or not. Due to this people who own original Auto's kept jacking up the prices until a car that launched at 1.5 M just a decade ago is now going for 4M. This is just crazy and a result of the Sri Lankan mentality.

  25. Yes...if you take a HiAce...the floor to ceiling height is about 11cms less in the just low. It is mainly because the floor is lifted to keep it flat and not have wheel humps. Also, from the ground (like outside) the floor level is about 11cm higher in the just low than the normal van.

  34. My personal preference is for a branded used head unit (not Japanese ones since they don't have full-band radio). This comparison is between a 25k Chinese head unit and a 25-30k branded used head unit. Typically, I require good sound quality (with stock speakers), reliable radio reception, a reverse camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and an option to play videos to keep my kids entertained while parked (though they now prefer using their phones). Other options are also newer used on my head units. Chinese head units come with more bells and whistles, but most of the time, they malfunction after 1-2 years. I dislike the radio tuner because it can't hold the radio channel after driving a little outside Colombo, and the touchscreen also goes out of sync after 1-2 years. I've heard that new Lenovo and expensive Chinese head units are performing better, but I don't have any experience to comment on those.

  35. Chinese Android unit with a good sound processor + DSP. I got one for my Lancer which has the factory speaker set, sounds way crispier than a Pioneer HU in a same spec Lancer. Equalizer options are pretty neat too. Plus you can run Spotify/Youtube Music directly through the HU. Mine cost 75k back in 2022 when the $ was like 205-210LKR from Aliexpress Go for one with a ROHM32107 or better sound processor and I'm sure you won't be disappointed

  37. Glad that you enjoyed the read 😁 The thing with the big name garages are that they not bad all the time, but when chance's arrive they take it! Most 508 owners and even 3008/5008 get hold of a technician who works at carmart and gets work done at their residence or the techs residence. It’s actually much cheaper and the work quality is better. Keep carmart at a distance for any software updates or parts on discount. You might be able to get a recon engine from the salvage cars imported from UK. Make sure that its the good engine type. I’ll update my blog soon with all the horrors of them 508s 😅 JK 2.5L per 2500 sounds little serious. I would go asking around. Carmart actually never did recalls or service campaigns in a proper manner, so Im not surprised. Even the BPGA unit was faulty and had a service campaign,but carmart did nothing. wow major OT. so how many chicks you picked with FD1? Pulls near the ANC and Bishops College around 1.30? 😅

  39. To be pedantic, it was not an official recall. PSA replaced it with an updated unit under warranty IF you were to face the issue within the warranty period. The issue was discovered by owners after crossing about 50k - 60k kilometers. That's the sad part as there were many owners who didn't do that mileage within the warranty period. It was a BMW-PSA joint venture project from 2006. The engine did have a recall for a timing chain and tensioner issue (both parts were designed by BMW, they had issues with Timing chains in their diesels and other petrol engines as well from that era, most famous was the N47). The engine was a good design; lightweight, compact, had good low down torque, made good power, smooth and economical for the power outputs it offered in various tunes. On the RCZ-R, It was tuned for 270hp and it had the highest HP per Litre ratio of any production car, until the Yaris GR came along about 5 years later. The main flaw being that the piston rings were fragile in the earlier years and gave way very quickly. Similar issue to what the Honda Fit GP1s faced. They resolved the issue with better quality rings on the later THP engines. How bad is the oil burn in yours? Does it drink more than 1L per 2500km or so? Lot of white smoke? Rough running and noise?

  41. One more aspect affecting recent migrants is the increased cost of living globally. People who moved long ago are now stable abroad, have houses, vehicles etc.Many people I know who recentlty migrated are going through a relatively tough phase with inflation and high prices of real estate etc Compared to those who moved a few years back. So life isn't as "better" as expected. Let's face it the entire world is going through a crappy phase. It's just that some countries have better systems in place to minimize impact.

  43. 1. It is illegal to use a car on open papers...pure and simple...there is no reason for anyone to genuinely use a car on open papers. IMO a person using/selling a car on open papers is either deceitful or stupid and is doing it to keep the number of owners on the registration book low just so that the market value does not drop (fyi...at the end of the day number of owners of a car has nothing to do with anything..what matters is the condition of the car then and there...knowing how cheap our car owning public is the more owners would imply higher risk of bad maintenance..but that can happen even with just one or two cheap owners) 2. You have no idea if the person selling the car is actually the owner of the car and if he/she is actually authorized or genuinely selling it. A majority of Sri Lankans are some of the most dishonest people on the planet (especially when it comes to cars). So you cannot trust it. 3. You have no idea who or how many past ownes the car has had and what it has been used for and who has done what for that...it might have gone through 50 owners for all you know been used as a get away car in major crimes.A majority of Sri Lankans are some of the most dishonest people on the planet (especially when it comes to cars). So you cannot trust it. If you must buy a car that is on open papers...get the seller to first transfer it in to his name and then sell it to you (one day service for him and then transfer it to yourself after a grace period. This way any pending tax and other liabilities will fall on him before you take over the car. Also, if the car is found to be having any legal issues you can show that you legitimately bought the car and your liability would be limited. Due to operating limits thanks to covid this might not be possible anymore as I hear they are rather picky about one day transfers. Eitherway, it will take time. Make sure all the documentation is legit...service records, revenue/luxury license payments, eco test reports, etc...A majority of Sri Lankans are some of the most dishonest people on the planet (especially when it comes to cars). So you cannot trust any of it...people even forge service records now.

  44. I’ll explain what are the differences you’ll notice. -GP5 is considerably faster than the GP1 and fun to drive. In terms of acceleration it is on a totally different planet when compared with Vitz and Aquas -Interior is nicely done in the GP5and has an upmarket look than the GP1, but same as the GP1 all materials are hard plastic -GP5’s Handling is a bit better than the GP1 -Some models of the GP1 came with the serious engine oil burning issue which is a real headache. But only a range of cars are affected. You can search in the forum form for their chassis number range to avoid. This was rectified in the GP5 and later GP1s -Comfort wise almost the same -GP5 has the faster wearing Dual Clutch gearbox, which tends to pack up around 80,000kms and above (due to the SL climate) -Both cars don’t have serious battery issues like the Civic Hybrid, but most of the GP1s would be in their final stages due to their age. -GP1 is a more like your usual Petrol car without any serious differences in driving experiences, and the powertrain is really smooth. But GP5 is filled with more electronics. You’ll get a Prius style gear shifter and a parking brake switch. I personally find that the powertrain of the GP5 is unrefined. Some times there is a delay to kick in the engine. But when you put your foot down it just rockets out. -I find that the driving the GP1 in the traffic is a bit hard until you get used to it, because when you leave the breaks the car feels like its in a hurry to go even without pressing the accelerator. Haven’t noticed that in the GP5. -GP5 is one of the most favourite cars that I would love to DRIVE.

  46. The first Rolls Royce Spectre goes to drum roll please...... Ukraine! And a Minister as well. Supposedly $600,000/-, reminds me of another country where the story is the same where people suffer and the politicians enjoy themselves.

  47. A nice quad-lamped Sedan that I used to love as a kid - had a brochure when I was like 4 or 5. Sadly almost every single one of these are scrapped, and their CR's are used to run Bighorns.

  49. Still no :(. Someone told me that brand new cars which were sold in Sri Lanka were only available in sl and few other countries. If I could find one of those country parts site I could get the part numbers and order from Amazon.

  50. Ok there’s something really wrong with the suspension system now. The car tends to fishtail as well as “skid” sideways when encountering small bumps or metal manhole covers on the roads at cruising speed. Happens on both front and rear so it can’t be the tyres. Pretty scary since I seem to lose control of the vehicle in that instant. Going to take it to Hybrid Hub or Stafford at Maradana to check it out. The chaps at Rattanapitiya are beyond useless.
