    I partially disagree. There will be repairs since it has been used for 15 years and parts will be expensive compared to other japz. Once you replaced with the original part it is much durable than a jap spare part. The challenge is to find a good one with a repair history :)

    Parts for the Euro car is not readily available in SL market. So it is a money and time consuming affair to find a good part for a Euro. Besides finding a part is just one of the bigger problem. The most important thing is to find a good mechanic who knows Euros. Those people aren't available outside Colombo.

    So if a person is not dedicated to his/her car, have 60,000 rupees to spare at any given time and live in Colombo suburbs it is not worth considering buying a Euro in Sri Lanka. Better stick to more reliable and economical Japs.

    Yes it is little bit harder to find a good mechanic outside colombo. but when it comes to spare parts availability depends on the car model. There are some euros in SL parts are readily available in Sri Lanka (you can order from ebay for cheaper rates). You cannot say japz are more reliable if you get the correct euro car (Finding a good euro car is little bit difficult):) When buying an euro car, current owner matters, if he hasn't done services and maintained properly it will be a nightmare ;) For this price bracket under 3.0 million i would say BMW 320 will beat any Jap under 3.0 million.
