  1. In sinhala, they say balala mallen eliyata Panna. Congrats for admitting that you are one of those a$$holes who contribute to jacking up car prices (in your words - 'a good investment')

  3. It is saddening but yet so humorous that people are not worried that a depreciating commodity like a car can yield better returns than other hard investments. I suppose they simply do not comprehend the state of the economy for it to actually happen and what will further happen to the economy when people keep doing it. Most the car buyers do not even realise why financing rates are so low...oh well Its a self balancing thing noh ? Now everyone will be going to cars because the traffic moves smoother...and then car lanes get clogged up and bike lanes free up..then everyone goes back to bikes....the next investment opportunity can very well be scooters and motorbikes

  4. 6.Front Brake Pad Replacement Previous owner of the car had changed the brake pads at 94,000kms in 2017. This has been done at the agent and back then they've charged Rs.16,580/- for the pad set and Rs.1,443/- as labour. After almost 60,000 kms (58,900kms to be exact) I decided to change the brake pads as they were worn out pretty bad and I had a trip planned to visit Nuwara Eliya. Got it done last Friday at Unit#d Mot#rs - Orugodawatte. The prices are as follows, Brake Pads - Rs.18,810/64 Labour,Lathe & Vat - Rs.4,444/64 So the prices of parts have increased about Rs.2,200/- and Labour about Rs.600/- for three years. They recommended to replace two caliper pins and brake shims soon as they've worn out. Gonna talk to my mechanic about it later. Found out that lower arm bushes are kaput and arm links too needs to be replaced. My tires barely has thread. Needs to replace them as well. f**k me side ways!!!!

  5. At the moment cars are a better investment. That's why i bought it for cash. Money at bank yield only 5% max. and will drop after the end of quarter. property market is also dropping and is not liquid. Investment funds are yielding at 9-10% and will drop further. So in the current context i pre-empted and bought a car and the return at current rate is 10%. Personally i do not need to show off with a 2010 Benz as i own 2018 Audi A5 as the daily runner. I can only laugh at these generalized comments of the pundits
