For once in my automotive life I got 2 options to pick from and I was pissed when I only had 1 option to pick, and now I got 2 options to pick and that's even worse, I can't f**kin pick.. Because I'm gonna be stuck with it. You know its like picking a one night stand. You know you gotta go down on the one you pick, so you need to pick the most suitable one.

Finally found a U13 auto petrol car I like, but cant buy it cuz the dashboard is cracked and i checked with around 20 spare parts shops and there are no dashboards to be found for the u13. f**k my life.

....because in SL it probably is easier to just put ina new one because we do not have skilled mechanics/engineers/labor. We have plenty of part swappers who are ever willing to keep swapping parts until whatever problem resolves itself...also...95% of our guys are too lazy and careless to do a proper job anyway. It is also th owner....90% of people who use Corollas and Sunny and old bluebirds got in to the car to run cheaply and fixing things like dashboards is a "luxury" repair.
But people do repair dashboards...my Mark X had a repaired dashboard....the infamous Axio dashboard melt has both replaced dashboards as well as repaired dashboards (needless to say the repaired dahsboard has a sense of "maarket naha" situation and some people automatically beleive that a repaired dashboard means a crashed car (thus the swap is easy to hide).
It definitely is possible.. You can do something like this....

With newer passenger side airbags you have to be a bit mindful of how the airbag deploys and lay the material accordingly. Any cracks in the foam or plastic is filled with either foam dust or plastic filler...then the dash is painted or wrapped. Either method has its own pros and cons....

Sometimes I feel like going to a owner with a good condition U13 or a Presea and tell them "Sell your damn car to me oi, you drove this enough"

I have a strong feeling that in February, some car will appear and I will buy it. Very strong instinct!

Guys guys I really want to by a U13. The interior is so damn nice. Unfortunately there are no Auto, Petrol U13's advertised for the past month. Sigh

Car advertisement sites should add a react button to each advertisement people post. I mean Who would sell a 93 model Presea for 22.50?? mileage tampered to 48k also.. jesus man

Its quite a common occurrence on the Starlet groups unfortunately, recently there was a GT for sale that was completely restored and completely built (TD09 Turbo, D2 Brakes, Fully Built Internals and WEPR everything) I think his asking price was somewhere close to the 3mil mark (Bone stock Glanza range) and he got haha'd to oblivion.
But I can see how the other side to this argument exists as well

The issue is...in a market place like Sri Lanka, most of the people liking or disliking the advert would be brokers and their goons..and then pundits who don't even have a bloody license and just graduated off their chilin-chilin bicycle. So...there is a good chance that good cars get ridiculued out of good descriptions and prices just so that these morons can push through their dressed up junk.

@iRageyeah invain, I should have sold my Presea for 30 lakhs.

If the seatbelt indicator shows in the dashboard even though the seat belt is ON, is it a fault we should worry about? or is this a minor thing?
-
Seat belt light, especially on these older cars, is not anything too serious. 99% of the time it is a matter of the sensor going bad or the cut off on the belt lock going bad. Usually happens because dust gets stuck etc....if the car has pretensioning seat belts...then again it could be with the sensor and cut off switch or it could be one of the sensors or the entire pre-tensioning system.

Went to buy a car with cash in hand. Last minute changed my mind and came back. An afterthought crossed not to buy it. So back to square one.

My Presea colour preferences changes every week 😕 Now I want to buy a wine red presea and paint it with the "romanticrot-metallic" color code
