like everyone else have said, buy gold, anyone who says that gold has been laced with copped on any-other metals, well, should first find out where to buy gold as a reason for investment, and not ''jewellery'', gold as an investment form should be done in bars / bullion, you can get them in any weight from ranging from 1 gram to 1000 grams (1kg Bullions), they are 999.9 pure, and when you want to invest get sealed bars, since you will be starting into something new and since I am guessing you'll be getting bars up-to a troy ounce in weight (the universal standard trading weight, in grams its 31.1035g ), get either pamp suisse bars of credit suisse bars, you can easily get these in Pakistan or you can buy silver but well, since gold and silver are both liquid assets, or if you don't want to buy physical gold, look into futures (I wont be going into much detail, since i can type all day long on the subject), so at the end of the day its a much better choice as compared to getting a car IMO,
