You know nothing about SUV market in Sri Lanka and who care about Japanese. They don't use vehicles in Sri Lanka, we do.
Again, how can a vehicle be a garbage when it got old? I know Indians cars age bad but not all the cars like that.
you got the whole thing mixed up buddy. I dont condemn Japanese cars I adore them, have seen travelled in and even driven good Japanese cars (not owned by me though).
IMO - the best period of a car to be used : max 10 Years min: 3 years
that way you dont sell it back with a high milage to another owner to patch and run
however Japanese cars are much durable even though they are not very highly priced in Japan
Sri Lankan market is made on demand and with the high taxes by the government normal person can't afford a good vehicle.
And most of the time they don't really matter value people are paying.
So people who are interested in buying cars and exchanging in 3 years to get a new one and dont have much of a buget can go for cars like these.
1. because they will be always brand new
2. there will be no patches / fixes (as long as its maintained well)
3. Services are free up to 50,000 and 2 years warranty is given
4. For Kwid there is a 2 year corrosion free guarantee
5. And best of all you can sell it back to AMW to the market price after 3 years and get a new one by paying the rest.
