11th Generation Toyota Corolla Pakistan

[irfananwar]

Ok folks I need a bit of guidance on the following points :

1. Is there any advantage of booking on company's name ? I was told that one can get huge tax benefits by booking as a corporate client that is if company is registered as sales tax payer and the company is filing their taxes regularly.

2. will the sales tax be refunded or withholding tax ?

3.Can the bank draft/pay order be from someone's else name than the one who is booking in our case the company registered in my brothers name.

4. Lastly , can someone recommend a dealership in Lahore that is giving January 2015 delivery PBO for Gli MT. We have the bank draft (partial Payment) in hand right now but need confirmed delivery in the first half of Jan.

Hope to get clear answers from PW gurus thanks in advance

1. DO NOT ever do this mistake, you may end up paying the advance tax twice once on buying on company's name and than registering it on your own name.

2. Only the WH tax is going to be refunded/adjusted in income tax you pay on your salary. Forget the sales tax, If they start giving a refund for sales tax, our govt. will go bankrupt within a week.

3. Bank Draft needs to be made from the person's account on whose name the car is going to be booked.

4. Not sure about this, you can call and ask. I think GLI MT wont be a problem in Jan.

For me, its vice versa. I like the boring CVT. Always loved the steermatic. Its fun. I feel its more comfortable than the conventional AT.

After driving Altis CVTi that is without paddle shift

The drive is really smooth , pick and acceleration is really nice overall a nice car
But i dont like the way cvt transmission feels

If we compare AT with CVT
Cvt is so smooth , but if we floor it , we dont really get any feel , the fake shifts are a nice move because without fake shifts it looks like car is going in 1 gear only , but with this fake shift in new corolla it gives a little feeling as if the gears are shifting up
But still not as good as AT which gives a real feeling of shifting up
Its just like comparing EPS with hydraulic power steering
eps feels so good for city drive but bad for highways no grip at all and no feel behind the wheel ( the reason why reborn feels better than 9th gen for sharp turns and sharp curves even at high speed )
Theres no lag at all new corolla accelerates really nicely and is fast but we must drive it first before purchasing
Because many people who are upgrading from 4 speed AT previous corolla 1.6 , 8th gen Civic and City aspire with 5 speed AT may not feel that good
its a car that will cruise smoothly even at 160 but will fail to give that pleasure which we really want at this price and 1.8 category in pakistan , with our limited budgets we expect alot from it
manual transmission is no doubt fun to drive
But looking at the traffic conditions here , auto is becoming a must now but still AT gives that fun to drive factor if you floor it , CVT is too plain and boring

This is what i felt
No offence

Prius has 1 speed planetary gear, no fake shifts, and as for the throttle response, the 1.8 one kicks you back in the seat when floored while still still remaining very quite compared to conventional cars
The 4 speed AT of Corolla also gives jhatka when floored and it downshifts even with a 1.3 L 2nfe engine and a heavy body, the car does not disappoint at all.

According to toyota ravi, both the cvt and manual version deliveries are in Feb, ready delivery is with 3.5 lac own. I seriously doubt that for the manual version.

In that case, it will be fine but I dont see how you'll get the tax benefit by booking on your company's name. You will have to pay it one way or the other and this will be refunded as well, both ways. This will only be beneficial if you in your individual capacity do not pay or file income tax return and your company does. In this case, you will have to pay twice the amount your company will have to.

Booking on company's name might get you priority delivery

@irfananwar

         Irfan bhai i think what @hamza_00 is trying to do is have the Tax adjusted in Company Income Tax...It will also give the added advantage of taking depreciation for the value of the car in your Book of Accounts as expense....And in case the Car is being financed than you get to take the Full Installment amount as expense although it also has a Principal Amount....Am i right??

I have booked a GLi MT and while doing so, they handed me a list of accessories from which I have opted for fog lamps and keyless entry. Can somebody tell me if these accessories are factory pre-installed or they will be installed once the car is delivered? Want to know because whatever is installed during manufacturing process is more convenient than having to get it done after with risks of damaging housing, clip ons and stuff. Thanks..

Also, does anybody know of any after market in-dash system which supports Sygic maps other than the one TPL is offering?

Kindly let me know the delivery date of GLI M.T after its booking ?

[anas_08]

Kindly let me know the delivery time of GLI M.T after its booking in LHR .
Thanks

I have Corolla Xli and it is not giving good fuel average.
On meter it shows 12.6 km/l and on highway 15.8 km/l.

In fact I think it does 10 km/l and highway 12km/l.

My old corolla Xli 2010 had better fuel average.

Its result was same as shown on meter. 11.8km/l and 15 km/l

So this time, Grande average is better than XLI/GLI
