  2. Wow , a member stated that comparisons like this are done only in Sri Lanka. I guess it’s also the only country where European cars are easier to maintain than the Japanese ?

  4. For sure that’s news to me. All this time I was thinking Euro cars are expensive to maintain.. I guess these statistics published by consumer reports and others are not applicable for our country I guess.

  5. 2000 Volkswagen Bora For me the usual service cost is as below - Mobil semi synthetic 5L - Rs.6,500 (Changed every 5000 miles not km) Genuine VW Oil Filter - Rs.1,950 Oil drain nut crush seal - Rs.350 Air Filter - Rs.3000 Injector Cleaner - Rs.900 MAF & Throttle cleaners - Rs.1800 (1 can lasts for maybe 3 services?) Labour - I do it myself so it takes maybe 45 minutes.

  6. Also consider that Service intervals for European cars at the agents is about 1.5-2 Times Longer than Japanese.(10-15000km vs 5000kms)

  7. Don't have a euro but used the Allion for 5 years which i got zero mileage. By first 25K km range the rear shocks gave up. Lubing at Kl**n Park costs around 10K on average (which goes up when i need to change air filters and AC filters plus other additions). Tune ups and injector cleaning ending up at about 15K, CVT change i think 18K , AC servicing 20K , O2 sensor replaced, Front tyres gave up by 20,000 due to the usual issue with the the original tyres, and so on.. On the contrary, Montero service and repairs also cost and arm & leg if i buy them from the agent , but now through a relative i get Shogun 4 parts from UK at a fraction of the price ( around 60% cheaper to the agents). So, Allion maintaining at the agents indeed is not cheap or any jap for that matter i guess. I dont have the faintest clue on euros.

  9. @Stryker having previously owned a 260 allion for a good 60,000km and now daily running a 2 litre VW Bora, I can safely say that the allion was more expensive when it comes to maintenance. Fuel cost is negligible. Obviously my Bora is quite old now (18 Years old with 170,000km on the odo) however it is twice the car the allion is and I've found that parts were much cheaper for the euro!

  12. We are taking about this due to the idiotic tax system in this country As per the current tax regime tax for Audi A3 1.0L = Rs. 1.75 Mn. Allion 1.5L = Rs. 4.785 Mn. Given the fact the fact that both cars are similarly priced any one with grade 5 mathematics knowledge knows that actual value of the Audi is Rs. 3.0 Mn more. Go and get it before the government change their mind

  13. If your tires does not have any uneven wear or side wall damage and if there's some tread depth left; most of the little road side tire shops will purchase them. I mean the kind of shops that are not dealers but small timers who are mainly involved in tire puncture repair kind of stuff. will not pay you much though. expect something around Rs 500-1500 based on the condition.

  15. 1st Learn how to drive a dual clutch box without excessive ware there are enough material in the web. Crawling in heavy traffic is the main killer for dual clutch. Other than that regular maintenance would be ok.
