Will Vehicle Prices Go Down?

[tharakaf]

Guys,

Thought of starting a thread for an interesting discussion because I see this popping up everywhere and might be good to put everything in one place.

My Answer to this is NO (atleast not drastically). The reasons I see is given below with a comparison. Feel free to put your arguments below for the sake of the rest.

Simple example I can give to you that shit will not improve is, Let's take a vitz

Back in 2018 (brand news 2018 shit)
Japan auction price 1.5milY (1Y=1.5LKR) --> 2.2mil LKR
SL Duty --> 2.2mil LKR
Total --> 4.5mil LKR (roughly. This is personally imported price.)

Now in 2021 the above will be
Japan auction price 1.5milY (1Y=2.75LKR) -->4.2mil LKR
SL Duty --> 2.2mil LKR (Let's say it doesn't change)
total --> 6.5mil LKR

current market price 7mil to 8mil

Now the second calculation has a very little chance to change because it is directly tagged to the exchange values. Also with the new directions of IMF they will not lower the duty but as a matter of fact might increase it even further if they allow to import vehicles.

So my personal view is vehicle prices will remain the same for a quite a long time and it has a better chance of going up than coming down.

Will go down some amount.
1. Increased loan/lease rates
2. Fuel prices keep going up.
3. Less parts or high prices of those.
4. All other necessary items' prices keep increasing because of USD/ expected VAT increase.

People have more things to do than buying a vehicle.

Any idiot can post an ad with a funny price. That doesn't mean vehicle is gonna sell at that price

Yako Prashne kiyawapan. I have the money to buy it and I will not stop buying regardless of what people say about prices going up/down. 1mil 2mil flactuation isn't something I will give a shit about.

What makes it interesting for me is seen people saying prices will go down. But they do this in different places and I want that conversation to happen in one place so that if someone in the future see it will find it useful .

FYI Anuradha is about posting his problems, expecting others to feel sorry and finally to give some money to him. I don't do any of that

People buy ban. Masayak, dekak indi after that they say "fuck it" and buy.

There will be a small change in prices because of the interest hike. Example 0.5 to 1 million.

BUT

In my personal view, If the economic condition worsens, like for example;

- Lack of food
- Scarcity of essential medicines
- No petrol
- No Spare parts

If the situation get worse like the above examples, then the vehicle price will change drastically.

It’s possible because IMF is not willing to help us.

When there is mass migration and severe economic condition nobody will be trying to buy vehicles rather will be keen to sell and get out of SL. Then there will be huge discounts.

I have been asked to relocate (which I have not considered since I like it here that is minus the queues) so I will not need the money to migrate. This is for me to satisfy my desire of driving a different type of car ban.
