Meanwhile in Sri Lanka…..
This car is unnecessarily expensive for its age despite being a “supercar”.
For your information, this car costs 30-40 million (400 laks) during the early 2010s
In 2016-18 it costs exactly 50 million rupees (කොටි 5ක්)
And 2018-2020 it rose to 75 million rupees thanks to higher tax and engine tax (along with dealers markup)
And according to post corona “artificial market price” (yes where a 4.2 million wagonr jumped to 7.5 million fabricated by importers (car sale person) due to “import ban” when there was global car market crash and decline) the brand new car from Japan is estimated to cost 80 million and at that time was considered “unaffordable”
Internationally cars are depreciating liabilities and still there are people who love to mint their depreciating “asset”. It’s a huge joke that this 2010 car costs 87 million while being originally sold for 40 million back then and comes with a huge mileage (which I believe has been reduced). We should do something against the car prices or else this will continue further.
