so sad god why i was born in pakistan this is a dull country
The thing is, 5 years ago the rupee was about 60 against dollar, and today its well over 105. So how do you expect the prices of vehicles not to double? Its spontaneous.
The car companies are supplying poor and inferior quality products at expensive prices.For example Suzuki Cultus has no power steering and is a torture to drive.After just 30,000 km the door pins became loose and had to be replaced.Clutch plate was gone after 60,000 km.Gear box synchronisers had to be replaced by 80,000 km in the end i sold it and bought Vitz 2010,People should be allowed to import cheap and reliable cars and these looters will then lower their prices.
Well, this is the game played by Corrupt Politicians who happen to own these car assembly units and spare parts. First they accused “Oil prices” and now accusing “Dollar prices”. Great fooling of nation going around. Oye dumb idiot, it’s all govt taxes to benefit those corrupt owners, who pay them to make such maze like policies so that no one question them. It’s simple, if dollar price has to do with the car prices then why the imported cars are cheaper than locally assembled cars?
Well that’s the fate man. That’s why migration (Hijrat) is sunnah. So, use this life line. This patriotism shit is just man made political term to exploit the weak and keep them slaves. Patriotism has nothing to do with human beings, religion or God.
And buyers of Liana are the most insane people on the face of earth.
Bla bla bal. This is the problem with the consumers. They always cry and still buy those crap products in the name of affordability. Use mind before buying. ” Think before you leap”
