Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

Question
Crosswind
This is the kind of topic that I usually answer. But I'm posting this to find as many options as possible and narrow down on a few... Who knows what might turn up...
I'm seeking a car, with the aim to more or less abuse, for a very low budget. Budget is between 700,000 to 800,000. That's frankly because I don't think there are any cars that are in decent running condition for a budget below that. But if you guys have any suggestions for a lower price, I'll be glad to look at.
Here are the requirements:
Budget: ~700,000 - 800,000
Need to be reliable
Size: Doesn't matter. Prefer small hatches rather than sedans
Fuel: Petrol. No diesels.
Country of Origin: Anywhere except India and China
Transmission: Doesn't matter
Fuel efficiency: Say around 9 -10km/ltr will be fine. Even 8 should be ok. But not the fuel economy of Cefiros and similar cars.
Spares availability: I am yet to come across a car which doesn't have spare parts in Sri Lanka. For me, this question is somewhat irrelevant.
Maintenance: I know ppl who can maintain even Fiats, Alfas and the like... so again, this question is somewhat irrevelant
While trolling in classifieds, papers and nearby car yards, this is what I came up with so far:
EP82 starlet (auto gear) with a duplicate book (note that I am not worried about duplicate books either)
Doctor Sunny (auto gear)
Fiat Punto (again, auto gear) - price quoted is a bit higher than the budget
Kia Pride (manual)
Proton Wira (manual)
Nissan March K10 (comes below budget so its a good choice too... is it reliable is the question)
I also know older generation Sonatas (questionable reliability and fuel consumption) and Daihatsu Miras (not powerful enough) fall under these categories.
Right now, the starlet seems to be on the top of the list with the Punto as second.
What are the other options you guys can think of... even if it sounds remote and silly, pls do post them...
Do let me know what your thoughts are on these and any other vehicles that are potential options...
