    Hi Machanla,

    Last week i visited a car sale in borella junction, just opposite the commercial bank. (not mentioning the name of the car sale in public) prior to the visit, i called the guy and asked the grade and if there is auction sheet and weather any repair and so. the owner told me, they dont import accident vehicle.

    when i visited the place and inspected the vehicle. i faced the below things.

    1. Auction sheet not available. (telling its missing or have to ask from japan)
    2. Told S grade but had 8000km mileage.
    3. Front buffer towing cover missing
    4. Rear side accident and clearly visible its repaired if you bend and see under and through the tire. owner told he dont know. today only vehicle came he didnt have time to see.

    and guess what today, in ikman.lk the same vehicle is posted by the same owner with mileage as 10km. i got shocked and wanted to let you all know the scene. the owner sounded to be very genuine and professional, but this is very third class behavior.

    also i got to know that there are more than one vehicle import association in SL and some car sellers just say that they are the secretary of this association.

    Hence my advice: Stick to the authorized agent if it's possible. Car importers as a whole is a corrupt bunch. Sad truth.
