Yeah CR should be close to 1 mil

Yeah...6 lakhs is kind of like a low ball offer, but then it also depends on seller....especially if the seller is a company because they do things a bit differently....after depreciating and such and the car has been financially written off....you might be able to get a car from a company at a lower than market price. Then there are also people who are desperate to leave urgently (know three people who had to get rid of their vehicles and close thier accounts and such in like three weeks..so they got rid of their cas for dirt cheap..)

I'm talking about a complete car with original books. Don't be surprised guys, like iRage said, there are cars which goes for dirt cheap too  

@iRage Thats one hell of a Japanese Luxo barge. 

Oh heck yeah...you probably couldn't find body parts for it even if your life depended on it...Japan doesn't have much either...but on the plus side I beleive Austalia has a fair stock of donor cars.

I had a feeling it was the same thing that kept on popping up every few months since Q2 last year (maybe even before ?). 

@iRage Yeah the seller isn't going to get it sold anytime soon, pretty sure it'll go for a song

Looks like you'll be ubering around a bit, ain't no one going to part with a 20 year old car for less than 15 lacks 😢 (unless its a complete shitbox) or perhaps your saving grace? Duplicate Books? I know, I know it's basically the same as a normal car and it's unfair to negotiate based on that. But when in rome.....

@iRagehowever, the B14 is currently the most market car in sri lanka. Every B14 gets sold the same day or very next day  

Hard to believe that...but then again...but mass Sri Lankans and car market is the worldn's biggest con etablished by the stupidest and dirtiest and unethical people in the country. 

As to people who buy it simply do not know...and the ones who have it do not want to tell what a pile of crap they are because then they cannot get rid of it. Just like people simply keep shut about all the crap things the Axio 141 o even the Premio/Allion is.... (now I am sure there are a few good examples around...I have seen a few expot models that are in good shape...but keeping it like that is very very hard)

But then on the othe hand...it is exactly the type of car Sri Lankans want (especially the stingy pumpand drive types)....it will run with no pre-emptive maintenance at all and when it breaks, like I said before a monkey with a pineapple can fix it with some rubbe bands and mango peels. Heck....Toyota's best selling car in Sri Lanka was a ca they designed 20 years ago and kept on making till March 2021.So...if you want a cheap pile of crud that you can run for cheap..by all means...go for it. It will be an easy car to run. Not an easy car to live with.

Doesn't that make you "Vistalover"?

@sathyajithj99 looks like he's adopted the polygamy way of life, good on you "RandomLate90sJapaneseOnAWhimLover" 😛

That poor Presea 😒

something tells me its gonna happen here also pretty soon. 😁

See that is the thing....for starters...the ones out of the factory had extra welding and other stuff for body stiffening. Most of the conversions here simply are still the pudgy barges with stiffer suspension so they ride like barges. Even then....it is still a sedan. Law of physics would beg to differ otherwise  

Tourer V and IR-V are really nice cars (in both original and proper conversion form). But again..they are not Supras..yet alone Porsches.

@tivi dont have money to buy or maintain these cars. 

@PreseaLoverto be honest a majority of the car community who are into project cars dont have money to have a surplus car for having fun. 

But somehow we manage to shoehorn our finances to accommodate these expenses. Lastly maintenance most of us handle DIY.

ඇටබෝයි 

forget about it and start searching for a W124 its prices are appreciating like hell these days.. and restore it for its former glory you'll love it trust me.

Any reason why U13? and not a U14? I kinda like them with the four round headlight casings.

i dont like the U14 interior and exterior both. The u13 interior is the best interior design i have seen in any car.. and the exterior designs are also similar to the presea.. u14 is like a box so i dont like it

"u14 is like a box so i dont like it"
