I bought an English number 2000 MK4 Volkswagen Bora 2.0 for around 1.5 million 3 months ago. So far I have spent 300k in repairs and now the car is literally brand new (Complete new suspension front and rear / New mounts / New gearbox and engine / All 4 new Bridgestone tires / minor cosmetic fixes / Body has zero rust) 

If you are worried about petrol then don't think about euro's. except for a certain few cars.

Why buy a older Japanese car when you can get a euro for a lesser price, fix it up and you have a good reliable car!

Whatever car you end up looking at, make sure it's documents are in order and that there is little to no rust on the body.

Peugeot 406 D9

Toyota Mark 2 1980's models i think

Volkswagen Bora

FB14 Nissan sunny is imo a good car for it's price.

Spares na ne bro. Resell komada. Pls need more detail about these models

Who said spares are not there? In panchi there are shops who specializes in pugs -- Abirami motors, Subasinghe motors, etc. Also some guys are importing reconditioned spares also.

Just check around. First you go and inspect and drive some Euros on your price range and see.....?

It's a 2000 Bora Sport UK variant. 2000cc + a 5 speed manual. Fun car to drive! Also, I can't seem to find any good pictures of her so maybe I'll update the thread later....20180627_095623.thumb.jpg.976e646f7a87edde91278fd02fd4de14.jpg

The blue van is a 1987 VW Caravelle C (Line A/C Model) which has been with my dad for the past 20+ years. Its got 840,000km on the clock and is still running like a dream. (I don't get to drive her after putting the dent you see up front XD)

This.

I bought almost all the spares for my VW from Panchikawatte. Some parts were even cheaper than Japanese counterparts!
