  1. Thank You so much Jason_Bourne On the Vitz selected, I have already booked an inspection at Toyota Lanka. The dealer is ok with it. Let's see how the report comes.
  2. Thank You very much, guys. Very helpful !!
  3. Thanks for your comments Jason_Bourne and Seeker LK Actually, I made the decision to go for a Vitz. However the problem for me now is, the vehicles available (unregistered) for my budget (3.8 Mn incl full Insurance) are 2015 and 2016 manufactured ones which come with quite a high KMs on the clock (25K to 40K). Will I have to spend on costs such as tyre change and full service etc soon after the vehicle is purchased?. How to make sure the vehicle is accident-free as it has been on the road at least for a year. I also could find low mileage ones from some car sales, but I have serious doubt about the genuineness of such records. Is there a transparent way to check the accuracy of odometer? Is Vitz still recommended in light of these confusions and uncertainties? Hope AL members will be able to help me. Highly appreciate your thoughts.
  4. Thanks a lot, Kush for your time. Appreciated.
  5. Dear Members, I am looking to buy my first car and has a budget of 3.8 Mn Max. I am not impressed with an idea of buying a vehicle used for 5 or more years. And also would avoid hybrids as of now. After a decent amount of online search keeping in mind my budget, I have shortlisted two models. A reconditioned Toyota Vitz 2015 or 2016 Brand new Kia Picanto 2017 I really care about the performance, safety, look, reliability, maintenance, and resale value. In terms of fuel economy, I would be happy as long as the vehicle gives close to 9/10 Ltr mileage in the city driving. My Requirement is to drive in Colombo daily 25 Km and to outstation 600 KM (Round trip in 3 or 4 Days) once in a month or two. In terms of exterior look, Toyota Vitz is the winner for me. On the interior, Picanto wins. With Vitz, the reliability, performance, safety and resale value aspects seem to be better than the Picanto. Picanto, on the other hand, comes with a 5-year warranty which is very attractive and provide a peace of mind (when compared to the fact that you have to rely on the informal imports with regard to Vitz). For my budget, I would be able to get the highest grade Picanto available in SL with all safety features given. It would be really helpful if the members could advise me to help make a better decision. Also, suggest any options other than the models I have shortlisted. I read a lot of good comments from the members on the Picanto, but couldn't locate any comparison like Vitz Vs. Picanto. Please Help! Thank You
