So you think vehicle prices in the US are high??!!

I’m in Sri Lanka visiting my parents & here are some examples of how much people have to pay here.

Brand new Honda Civic - SLR 8.7M-9.3M (Sri Lankan Rupee) ~ USD 56k-60k

Used 2014 Prius w/ 63k kilometers- SLR 5.8M ~ USD 37k

Used 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport w/ 51k kilometers - SLR 16.5M ~ USD 106k

Used 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser, says only 13k kilometers - SLR 27.75M ~ USD 179k

Looks like you may have found a new career. I’d send my Frontier over for SLR 4m. ($25,756.60) More than I paid when it was 3 years old with 30,000 miles.

Do they have a Sri Lanka KBB.com? That would be interesting to check out.

That’s would be a steal until you added in the taxes...

I’ll have to look at what the KBB equivalent is. Was just looking at the Sunday paper where all the auto ads are on for the ones I posted.

If I was still living here, there’s no way I’d have been wheeling even if I could afford to buy a 4x4 worthy of trail time.

Here’s one site listing cars... https://ikman.lk/en/ads/colombo/cars-vehicles
