Exactly, he had ordered a S-class & was hurrying to get it soon. But all of a suden he cancelled it & bought this LC.

If its thrissur based dealer, then it'lls surely be ebby of Chiriyath cars. As far as I know, it won't be for his personal purpose, but might be for some client of him, who might have bought car from him. As I know him perosnally, even though he deals in somany imported cars, he personally use an Innova.

That number is for the new landcruiser V8 in calicut. But I heard the amount is 5 lakhs.

hanmust · 5th August 2008, 11:54

Oh is it. I thought he might be registering in MP or HR to avoid huge road tax & other extras at RTO. Recently he had sold a huge area of land to a builders in Calicut, that might be the reason that he is on a spending mood. He is also renovating his house in Calicut, hence the LC is always parked at the back yard of his showroom.

A new 5-series has been spotted in Calicut by couple of friends. But its a car to Tellicherry, but was delivered in Calicut as they had a marriage here, hence the car was roaming around here.

Possibly a reason why he went for a petrol V8

. I was told he was to go for a Q7 or S class before he bought this. Not sure if he's still getting one. The 5 has been around for a few days.

As I told earlier, he had placed an order for black S & was also pressurising the dealer to get it as soon as possible, but on last moment, infact just before the S was loading to truck he cancelled & went for this LC.
