The prices of imported vehicles is likely to increase because of the increase in the exchange rates, especially the Japanese Yen, Vehicle Importers' Association of Sri Lanka (VIASL) said yesterday.
VIASL Chairman Dinesh Senanayake said the selling rate of a Japanese Yen is Rs.1/40.
“Therefore, a vehicle worth Rs.5 million will be increased by Rs.200,000. This will only effect future vehicle imports,” he said. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

The vehicle registration in Sri Lanka has dropped in recent months and the car dealer (or wheeler dealers) are up in arms. That is why they are showing such a great love for the public. Soon their main supporter may also be removed. Ha Ha Ha! This ride the Bus and Walk.

The value of a car is more than 3 times in SL. The government is depriving people their right to own a safer mode of transport at affordable prices.
