  1. 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.
  2. Agreed not bad at all. The agents are absolute trash. I remember reading that thread of you test driving one. Nice cars but can be finicky if neglected.
  3. It was from N.I in panchi. Labor was 15k for all (guy I know who works at the dealer) I don’t even look at crapmart after they ruined my paint and doors.
  4. So these unregistered 2017ish cars rotting in car sales, better than a used or worse?

    Need shitbox car asap. Budget is 6.5mil

    utter reliable no nonsense car needed. Nice to drive is welcome. Something new ish.

    few alto and every vans in my budget, should I? Tires and rubber bits scare me.

      Toyota Corolla 141 GLI 2012 imported brandnew through agent and well maintained by them, comes to my mind.

      i Would buy the Every Van.. Good Grocery goer and hauler. watchout for the Rubbery bits.. since those Sale ayyas haven't have a clue regarding them.. Corrosion usually starts from Door bottom. Im in the lookout for a shit box as well.. but thought of settling down for a Kelisa and thought of performing a bit of elbow greasing to fix it properly. House constructions has ruined my finances to the bottom 😒

      Thanks for the support everyone.

      So the prices have seem to shot up again this week because the unregs are up by 1mil and the beaters are up by 0.5 mil.

      Spotted a 57- Hiace LH102 thats been converted to a 3L engine and full super custom conversion. Has some issues. So looks like I’m a Hiace convert now. Welp

       

  5. Yuuuup Only 2 in SL. This was black on tan. It’s got the full EK3 treatment including fake red pleather seat covers.
  6. lol 😅 too versed with pugs now. ok here you guys go-
  7. 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? 😅
  8. So the car (508 1.6thp) went through some repairs recently. Prices as of 2024 feb from the main Peugeot parts dealer in Lanka. Head gasket 24500 Crank bolt 4500 Oil filter 4200 Crank oil seal 8500 Gear box mount 29500 Axle boot 5950 Coolant hose 14500 Oil return pipe 22500 Air filter 6500 Brake oil 4500 coolant 4000 Head bolt kit 16,500 Gear oil (Genuine) - 80,000 Engine oil: Mobil esp 5w30- 35,600 (from daraz) usually abt 9500 a liter Axle oil seals- 5,000
  9. The D8 406 is anyway under 2 million. Only the D9 goes over 2 million.
  10. Looks mean! Only 10 manual FD1’s made it to Lanka, so pretty special. Pulls tad bit faster than the auto with paddle shifters. I remember doing 180 on the E03 at midnight about a decade ago. Not recommended now. Used to give some bigger more powerful cars a good scare. Is the exhaust worked on or stock? Try to get the seats redone in leather, ours had half leather like them vezis. Looked very premium. Ours was done to factory quality at deens. Ironically… I also own a 508 now and was ripped-off at Carmart. Avoid that place. Find an independent technician who visits your place or you can drive to his place. These big name pug garages have a tendancy for tooth extraction and scamming.Right @AVANTE ? Is the 508 petrol? If it is… Oil burning- just THP things. Was the engine changed/overhauled under warranty at carmart? The THP engine had a recall from Peugeot that carmart did for free. cheers!
  11. If you are ok with slightly higher repair costs. The best car for 1.5Mil is probably the Peugeot 406 D8. Looks good,drives good,good market, fuel is also very decent. Comfy,safe and has some class to it also. You can bargain a good example under 16. Find a honest technician and you will be good to go. Please find a good car with all repairs done,or you will hate everything about Peugeot. Or if you can go for 2.5Mil, you can get a nice D9 406 with sunroof,leather,cruise control, electric,heated seats yada yada. Can be sold in a week. Really good car. @AVANTE is the resident 406 expert.
  12. You win. Would love a bit of history on these if anyone knows. Very rare here (Never seen one before) and hardly any info on google.
