A limousine (or limo) is a very luxury vehicle sedan or saloon car, especially one with a lengthened wheelbase . Though this vehicle is very common in USA & other european countries, this is the first time that a limo will be in Sri Lanka.
The2 vehicles were imported by a private business firm and the limo's imported were of Prado & Chevrole in brands. (stretch Prado limousine arrived in Colombo last Wednesday, Chevrolet 300c stretch limo cleared customs on thursday ).
Limousines are the most expensive form of automobile ground transportation, limousines are culturally associated with extreme wealth and/or power. Actually it's like a mini house.
Here are some common features of a Limousine ;
- The Prado Limousine consist of18 seats while the Chevrolet 13,
- 23 feet in length
- Consist if a minibar
- TV and Video Systems
- Stereo Systems
- Mini Refrigerator
- Climate Control
A quirk in Customs regulations meant that in spite of the Prado costing a declared value of USD 50,712 the duty and other fiscal levies were a trifling Rs 1.19 million. The 3500 cc, 2009, silver coloured Chevrolet 300 limousine was valued at USD 41,015 and attracted duty and other levies totaling Rs 4.73 million. The quirk was that as the limousines had multiple seats – the Prado seating 18 and the Chevrolet 13, they were imported as buses !
