I'll add my first car buying experience here. This was back in 2022. We had a Cultus 2016 limited edition model that was very well taken care of by my father and owned by sindh gov since my father used to work at CAA as an aeronautical engineer so they took the car away when my father shifted to saudia for his job. We had bought a Honda City Aspire 1.5 and we needed another car for daily commutes since i wouldn't be driving the City all the time. We had a budget of 10lac at the time in Nov 2022. We came across a 2008 Mira 3spd 3 door van for 9.65lac with 82k driven on PakWheels. I was skeptical but it looked good enough in pictures. My mother requested a neighbour to send his mechanic since he used to deal in buying cars. I did told her to go for the PakWheels inspection instead, but because it was our first time buying a car used, my mother brushed it off. A day later the mechanic said the car was in good mechanical condition (it was not). We went to inspect the car with the whole family with my father as he came back from saudia for important stuff and the car was on his name. There was also a driver with us who we personally knew. At the time, i was so excited to drive my first car that missed obvious signs of neglect like oil leaking from the valve cover, the rust and how dirty the car was. I didn't even ask them to start the car! We signed the papers, got stamped and got the import documents. When we started the car. The engine was too loud on the cold start and made a strange noise which i later got to know as a rusted waterbody. During the drive back home, the car vibrated and jerked at times. Me and my driver also got sick because afterwards we got to know the cabin filter was never replaced and the air vents were filled with viral bacteria. That whole car was shit. The only thing good was the recently replaced tyres. The engine was neglected as it burned oil and the timing chain rattled, used tap water instead of coolant, no heater core was connected, the power steering rack leaked fluid. The front brake caliper bolts didn't have their rubber seal. All four shocks were gone with coil spacers ON ALL FOUR ENDS!!! Bushings and balljoints were gone. The 3spd auto took way too long to shift sometimes. The ignition coils weak, injectors clogged and the catalytic coverter clogged too. The car was accidented too and i am the fifth owner of this car and prior to me there is no service history or anything. The car is doing much better now after taking care of it. There are some jugaars still left that i will get to in time, but the moral of the story is. Get the car inspected by a professional or do it yourself and ask for any service records. Otherwise you'll end up like me with a moneypit shitbox of a car.
