    That is the typical price of those good cars

    Those cars are somewhat harder to maintain cuz you don't find duplicate/counterfeit cheap parts in the market for them like you do for japanese cars.

    I met an interesting guy who repairs european cars, and he told me if you don't earn more than 200000 rupees a month don't think of buying a euro car. when i met him he was fixing suspension on an audi a4. said it costs nearly 100000 to properly fix suspension of one wheel, where as it costs less than 50000 for all four corners on a japanese car

    :shocked:

    No machan there are good aftermarket parts for Euro cars but the problem is whether they are available in Sri Lanka or not. However there is also E-bay. The biggest issue with European high end vehicles is not that the spare parts are expensive. Rather it's the unreliability of the parts itself after decades of use. So Euro car with more than 5 years of age tend to have more parts to fail compared with Japanese mass market cars.

    But the European cars are supposed to be much more durable with their reputation right?

    මේවා ජපන් වාහන වලට වඩා සුපිරි බඩු.ඒත් අවාසනාවකට මෙහෙ Market එක අඩුයි.ලංකාවේ කොහොමත් හොඳ දේවල් වලට ඉල්ලුමක් නෑ.ජපන් වාහනේක ගිහින් මේ වගේ එකක ගිහින් බලන්න පුළුවන් වෙනස.හැම අතින්ම සුපිරි.ඉඩ කඩ උනත්.අවාසනාව :(

    European Luxury cars are full of unnecessary gadgets and stupid engineering gimmicks. Germans are known to over engineer their products where Japanese cars which are produced for mass markets are relatively simple and straight forward.

    The reliability of the German cars are also won't last more than 3 years. After that parts begins to fail. So when the over engineered parts fail they tend to cost a fortune to fix and there are more parts to fail means that their is a higher chance that the old Euro will stay in the garage rather than in your home.
