      Already registered LHD cars can be driven

  2. Guy I know has a Jag X type and S type. He wants to sell one. Should I pull the trigger?

    It will be a weekender. KMPL/market / not C numbers and all that typical jargon is not relevent for me.

    I can put 200,000 aside for repairs every year.( Got others cars that burn my wallet ?)

    1. Crosswind

      Not the S-type please, unless you can put aside 200,000 every month for repairs.

      X-type on the other hand, is a Ford Mondeo in a Jaguar body. It's far more reliable than the S-type. Just check whether it is assembled in Sri Lanka (the CR should mention that). Nothing wrong with them except for the bad market value.

  3. Small doubt here, 

    Seems two vehicles I sold off in the past are not yet transferred and are running on open papers, how can I legally notify the authorities that the two above vehicles are not in my possession and that I have sold them off, papers signed and all that,

    Or is there any way to safeguard myself incase the do some illicit act with the vehicle still under my name.

      Dude, you are in a bit of a shi*hole. 

      It is YOUR responsibility to notify DMT (RMV) that you have sold a vehicle, within 14 days of it being sold. You do that by sending one copy of the MTA6 form to DMT (and keeping one copy with you). No letters or other documents are entertained. If you know the exact date of the transfer and the name of the party which bought the vehicle, I suggest filling up an MTA6 and sending it to DMT. Only your signature is needed on the MTA6, not the buyers (except witnesses). So you are not forging any documents or doing anything wrong there. 

      The trouble is even if you do that, the DMT might contact you and inquire why it was not done on time. However, I did that once in the past and I never got any letters from the DMT or any calls from the baiya who bought the car.

      If you really want to safeguard yourself, pay a visit to the DMT, go to the car section, go straight to the Assistant Commissioner (the guy is usually educated and knows how to deal with situations like this), tell him your story and ask him whether you can fill up your copy of the MTA6 and handover at that point. Chances are they will be favourable towards you.

    1. Crosswind

      Auto braking is probably the reason for most of these accidents

      Most of the cars advertised are overpriced. That's the reason. If you price your car reasonably, it will sell.

      Crosswind

      Let's do like this. 

      1. Buy the old presea

      2. Give it to me for a day

      3. I'll crash it and give it to you

      Then it will be a restoration project. You can fix armrests, paddlebrakes, coilovers and everything

  11. Does anyone know a cheap shipping method to ship a used car subwoofer from japan?(less than 6kg in weight)

    1. Crosswind

      Crosswind

      Aramex Shop N' Ship is the most reliable. if you want cheap, only option is the postal service.

      There's one problem though. You need to first get an account, which will cost like $50 set up charge. 6Kg weight will cost $96 for shipping.

      The money that you spend for the kaakkas and on your car hunt can easily add up to a couple of hundred thousands. Assuming you do a job, you are wasting a lot of time on this (and our time too). So pay something like 2-3 lakhs more than you sold the car for. She will sell it back to you. I'm sure she can buy something better than a silly presea.

  16.  I joined this forum in 2012 when I only had a rusty mountain bike with no brakes! Learned lots and finally obtained my dream. Didn't think of resale,fuel or what not. Just followed my heart!

    But sad to see the newer generation of car buyers, makes me weep hard.  Does anybody even care about driving the damn thing anymore? instead of resale and fuel!

    This is not showing off. Just an Appreciation to AL and the community! 

    PS. Its a 2 Liter Turbo with 200 horses and still does over 13kmpl city, so go f*** off with ur premios and vezis!

  17. Guys, do you think buying from a car sale can be a risk than buying from an individual even though it is inspected by a mechanic? cuz after my cefiro incident of buying from a car sale, im very reluctant to buy from sales as those salesmen can hide issues and sell the car

    1. Crosswind

      In your case, its not the seller thats the problem. Its the buyer.

  18. The gaskets and the head of my Cefiro Engine blew off.. Searched the whole country for a Singa Version engine and all I could find was a Jap engine (which is completely different to the neo engine including the mounts). So returned the new engine back and sold the car without the engine for dirt cheap. half a million loss.. Now looking for an automatic Presea again and do another presea project.

      It happens to some people. Don't worry. I hope its lightly used and clean. The car, I mean.

      Engines don't seize just because they feel like it. What caused the blown gasket? radiator leak? running without water or oil leak?

  20. Guys, what does 'ORIGINAL RE-PRINT ' mean in a CR of a car?
    Car in question is an Axio hybrid.

    1. Crosswind

      Crosswind

      This is not a problem. Some mistake (usually from RMV's part) would have been done in the CR and the owner would have asked them to issue a new CR with the same information. They go as 'ORIGINAL REPRINT'.

      This will go away when you transfer the vehicle.
