PreseaLover

@tivthe chassis and the side of the engine bay was crooked. He showed me and then I saw it myself. I didnt pay attention to that initially when I did the inspection. True, you cant find a car with no accidents but we can find a car that hasn't been condemned before  

Insane the level of jokers here, the find rare cars, wreck em and dont repair them properly

All the best on your search, but please never settle for anything less than your target for the sake of desperation, even if it takes years the right car will come along 

@tivyes, I never settle for less. it took me 1.5 years to find my first presea, and another 6 months for my 2nd, so I can stay a few years for this as well  

You might be able to pull off an AE91 Levin/Trueno...but Carina EDs are really really rare...only 3-4 in the country...one was converted to diesel...and another had been mucked up with lights from a sandard Caina and Corona....

@iRagethere is a carina ED parked everyday at the wattala pizza hut. The owner works there.. 3 years ago I asked him if he is selling and he said No. 

Well you can always ask him...are you looking for a mark I, II or III ? I figured Mk Is and IIs were too old....so there are only about 3-4 Mk IIIs...Mk Is...about the same amount and last I heard one was restored and the others were in bad shape....

Sadly this is a common fate for Carina EDs, Corona EXIVs and even Marino/Ceres

I think what @PerfMad is getting at is that botched mileage tampering also can lead to certain parts of the speedo not working, saw a Mark 2 with a tampered meter (only had done close to 1000km in like 4 years, past four years of eco test reports missing) with a broken RPM meter, be careful mate. 

To answer your question...it depends on the car....in some cars, the different meters are physically seperate components just screwed on to the same faceplate. In some cars (ie. most cars) they are seperate dials connected on to the same circuit board. 

How can you fix a broken meter ? Well if it is the first type then you can just find a replacement meter...the second type (of even the first type if you don't want to replace it) there are people who fix up the circuitry and and mechanical components to make it work again (of course depending on what is wrong with it).

But..please do be weary about why the meter does not work....it could be because someone tampered with the meter or it could simply be because a broken cables/sensor/ stuck spring/etc...

iRage,

I agree to all on your post reply to meter problem.

Still it is better to get a person who is handling meter problems  for an another opinion.

I have had plenty of different opinions to a different subjects, from who are well qualified people.

Only one person gave me the correct answer, many were trying to earn thousands on that problem.

At last persons advice was the best to that problem. Still he is on that advice.

Already four years have passed with no problems whatso ever.

Once in six months he visits  that person and get the problem checked up.

That is also not for a fee, He will carry a present and gift him.

Therefore my advice is to get a different opinions from two or three professionals before coming to end decision.

This forum is there for motorists to get advice and different opinions.

The JP/GS related to the area of the owners' address stated in the book. Once I faced the problem. Finally met the additional commissioner of DMT, then they called to the current owner and verified.

@kusumsiriso an all island JP cant sign?

In my case, my address was Embilipitiya, JP (all island) from Sooriyawawa and owner from Ambalangoda.

That's why you joined Mazda lanka page. I'm the one who approved your request . I thought it was to advertise your gear indicator strips

Nice, anyone who's looking to sell his BJ5 is going to hear how shitty his car is and why he should be ashamed of himself to ask money for it

I'm glad you don't like the looks of Honda's  

Go for a පෝඩ් මොංඩියෝ

so its all about #baiyas now haha

"are you the registered owner"

"na mahaththtaya open book genawe"

Has happened to me like 6 times, it's not just you

And to add I have had owners backing out of the deal after paying advances as well so cheer up

It's not "just sth people think", a Soluna is a major downgrade from a Presea.

I'm just stating a fact  

I know.. so if I dont care about a downgrade, why are you so concerned about it? 

You see a horse fly, you wonder wth that is about.

Not out of the concern for the horse of course, just a natural reaction to anything bizarre 

Putha - given your requirements and all things considered. You don't have too many choices. Paint job is something it seems you can't avoid - so the most practical thing is to buy the Vista - bargain hard get it cheap cos the color is wrong. Spend 1.5 Lakhs to paint it. Drive the car. Enjoy it. 

@matroskahe has made the seats leather. I hate leather seats 😕 the classiness of the vista is gone away because of that ugly seats. so I'll just wait for the BB to reduce 50k and say ok to me. 

Aneh bung a GX100 for 1 Mil is a f**king steal men, if you're not going to buy send the number over mama gannang
