  1. 4.7mil? RUN. AFAIK most stafford ordered cars were fully loaded until around 2010. After that the taxes made the options too pricey to obtain. Plus the model was coming to an end and the hybrid FD3 was out, stafford dint care no more. The fully loaded had- Sunroof. cruise control. pedal shifters. climate control touch ac. HId lights. Fogs(base model didn’t says stafford). You can’t really be too lenient on grades with these. Go for a stafford import/serviced with all the options(they can verify for u). Also, 3.6 is the MAXIMUM I would pay for a Loaded/Well maintained example. The fan boys are hyping it up. edit- multifunction wheel was also on the loaded models only. I hope I didn’t miss anything else.
  2. Had two. Bloody good off-roaders. Parts and maintenance is on par with jap pricing.Manual does better on fuel and it’s also a 5 speed(auto was 4spd, kinda laggy). Try to get one with the Teak NARDI Steering wheel/climate control/upgraded audio system with tweeters on the door. NAVI screen that was on top(rare but well worth it). Few around with sunroof(huuuge). Get one that's well maintained. Most are now used by buyya’s and hobo’s because of the low entry price. Get an inspection for sure. Issues were with GDI PUMP/ENGINE WEARING OUT. Rest is normal. GDI is not as bad as the buyyas say, pump super petrol and ride hard. You’ll be fine. (There is an EFI Montero IO, does 5kmpl and is super basic). Keep a few lacks for any pending repairs or ugly surprises (This applies to ANY vehicle really).
  3. Thel wada karanne khmda macho? (Jk jk). Any mods planned?
  4. I’m confused. Are these the M/AMG type thing from Toyota? Also I see someone is heavily interested in the rear end.hmmm 😜
  5. Looks good mate! Enjoy her. Get a strut bar and coils for better handling. Was this the one that was on the quick site?I remember looking at this few days back(I stalk the car market). Starlet to camry. Thats a big leap bro. I’m jealous 😛
  6. What else to expect from a Joint fb holder.iyaa
  7. Saaar Does it do more on petrol when u do that?
  8. Get a red/white 2.5 with the bells and whistles. Go for the facelift interior! Fuel 8kmpl is a yes can do. Very reliable. Our is babied at home but never misses a beat. Maintenance is the same IF you maintain at the agent. Premio maintenance is cheaper if you use cheap/used/recon parts or stick to local maka bass. Will make you smile and open doors. Chick magnet too 😉 Good sporty drive. Build/ quality of materials/ interior all resemble Audi’s(We have/had 10 Audi’s over time, it’s that close really). There is a video on youtube from the elakiri page. Not too technical, but shows the car and options well. I rather have Piumi Hansamali than a Premio. Go for a spin in one, The car speaks for itself.
  9. Easy fix. Not too expensive. Occasional Italian tuneups help alot.
  10. “Mage ekah” thnks machoo 😅 Thank you so much! 😊
  11. This is why I bought this car. That 2.7 TT V6 mated to a Quattro. Mmm yummy. The engine is left as is. Everything else on the exterior is in shambles. Here’s the leak picture of the new “model” 😉 Smoother and tighter than most IG “influencers! (Ok no more lame puns).
  12. Hope everyone’s doing well. I have posted few times about my dream of converting an Audi A4 B5 to a S4 B5. As per my knowledge. We have ZERO “AUDI S AND RS” vehicles. No conversions either. Only a few RS badged regular A3’s and what not. S4 variants are RARE and expensive in the European countries. US has a few, mostly auto and all of them riced. My plan is/was to buy one from the US and ship parts over. Obviously not all. Just the vitals and parts that can be used on a Right hand drive. Since I currently live in the US, I will be taking apart the car on my own and shipped personally. Then those parts will be restored because I’m mad. I already have a A4 B5 in the country. Stripped and shy. Them restored S4 parts will go into the A4. It will be 100% stock minus the front bumper(which will get refitted with the RS4 bumper because its 1. Plug and play almost. 2 It looks way better). Enough explanation noh? 😁 Behold the beauty. My 2001 Audi S4 B5. Not in the best of nicks(But cost close to a new iPhone, so I’m not complaining). Plus I will be redoing the parts anyway. This will only be uploaded on Autolanka.No social media jargon and maxxa machan for me please. So you guys are the onlyfans(pun intended). So kind of an exclusive build to fellow petrol-heads. Ok ok here’s the pictures. Ok one more sentence I promise! This will be a slow thread. Also painful to some as I’ll be slaving away a bunch of cash and time/effort for a car thats a “POS old petrol wada nathi Olympic car”
  13. Avoid the sorento/santa fe. Montero/prado is much better. keep looking. There were plenty around may. Not a good time to buy a car right now.
  14. For 7mil you can buy a 2007 upwards new model. Much better than the 2000-2006 overpriced rubbish. Fuel on petrols before 2006 range from 2kmpl to 7kmpl The new model petrol does 4-11. Diesels don't do all that better. Add 2 more kmpl to each powerful and good ride. Interior Can rattle on older models. agents will rip u off. DIY or a known garage will be better.
  15. They went for 3.6ish few months back. Not a highly sought after car. Max I’d pay on a loaded is 4mil. Not too many known issues. Nissan gearboxes are questionable Though. For that money- Vezel(please avoid at all costs). Tivoli(petrol is underpowered. Diesel is recommended.Bad resale). Forrestor(kinda thirsty but good ride). sportage( No personal experience) .
  16. F30 is better overall. Looks better and drives better. Also the diesel BMW will be more powerful ,economical and longer lasting. Buy one that’s not super basic. It'll do 8-10 kmpl city. 14ish outstation. Not if you floor it though.
  17. Whats the best dash cam? Dual is ideal. With shock sensor and mobile viewing. Small power reserve is also cool. Can manage to spend a pretty penny if really worth it. Thanks

      EK is the back alley of the city of Sri Lanka in the vast country that is the Internet

      Authorities rarely look upon what is going on, you won't be doing your internet reputation any favors by being active there, you'll find yourself depressed most of the time... but there is a freedom that isn't found in more civilized parts of the metropolis

      Elakiri seems to be the Sri Lankan 4Chan, degenerates and the lot do make for exciting conversation :)

       

  18. I second this. Too many people blame sunroofs without doing basic DIY basic maintenance on it. Look up online, many videos explaining how to get it unclogged.
  19. No. 1. Too many owners for a car that old. Plenty with 2nd and 3rd owners. 2. CS2 has a 1500 GDI Engine. They were trouble in the pajero/montero etc. Unwanted hassle because the CS3 1600 EFI can be bought for similar money. Also GDI vehicles have a bad “market”. 3. Again, CS3 is around the same price. More power/economical and well sought after. 4. 2002 is the pre-facelift if I’m not mistaken, you can buy a facelift for the same money.
  20. Bought a SS “Jeep face” keytag. Also a pair of JBL club 6.5’s for the front. The rear will be having a small box with 2 more 6.5’s and a sub. Nothing too crazy.
  21. Oh boy. I learnt this the super hard way. Cars, Technology, bad relatives, shit friends and ugly relationships can make you broke and hate life super fast. The struggle is real. My theory now is- build your preferred amount of cash, invest it and splurge on the dividends. I used to splurge from my paycheck. Baaad baad idea. I realized this after I got myself out of the daily grind- The world is running a big rat race. People are following the Jones’s 100%. I myself was in this position and struggled badly. YOU WILL HATE EVERYTHING YOU BUY ON CREDIT. (I too have many interesting car stories, will post after I find some pictures.)
  22. Similar examples can be found under 1mil,but the real moving price is around 500k. Minors are plentiful and not that sought after. The MAX it’s worth is MAYBE 800k.
  23. 1.4 max for a Kelisa. No more. Thats the max it’s worth.
