One thing here we are missing is to mention the Prado model TZ or TX. As per my knowledge till the last visit to Pak. the prices were as follows :
1996 TX
A good condition TX basic version of the Prado is around 18 to 19 lacs (Un-registered one).
1996 TZ:
TZ in a good condition is around 20.5 to 21.5 lcas (Un-registered one).
Before buying my Prado TZ I checked the prices with U and U told me that a good condition TZ will cost U around 21 to 22 lacs. And we are talking about un-registered one.
That's way I bought my TZ in 21.5 and the registration cost is 1.02 lacs for Islamabad registration. So the total went to almost 22.5 for 1996 TZ model.
How come now Prado regardless of TZ/TX has a market of 16 to 17 lacs?????

I did not mention TX or TZ because for 17 its clear its a TX,but is it a good car or not,answer is well not as good as a one which would cost you 18.50.But i wanted the dude to call me or visit me (marketing tech )
Also boss you got your car a few months back,that time Vitz was selling for 7 lacs 2003 that is now its for 6 lacs (a good one,there are cars for 575k as well)
So overall prices have come down,back then you got a good deal.
i didnt want to say this here but dont care so i will say it,i would never sell you a TX for 17 but for 18 to 19 why because i know you and i like you. (i hope you get the point )
If you havent then here is why
We all know cars have grades,we all know milage is an issue,and we all know 80% of cars imported here are lagi whi
At the end of the day 2 reasons
Market has come down
and
Same model,same options cars are avail at diff rates,if you ask why? just think abt it for a bit and you will get your answer or read above.
Now let me ask you this,are you happy with your car?
