Best investment car for 2.0 to 2.4 million

[hasan.mansr]

I want to get a car that will hold or improve value the most. The only requirement is that it is automatic and not too big ( so no corolla or civic).

The car will hardly be driven since it will be for my 70 yr old dad. It will sit in the garage mostly for the next 5 years inshAllah. I am considering Vitz 2014 or Swift 2018 seriously. Passo and Alto are other contenders. If anyone can speak from experience please help out. Thanks.

Alto only if you want to hold money.

Thanks. Will Alto have an exhausting ride quality on the bad roads of karachi? My dad will be able to lead a more whole life if he can drive 30 min or an hour to relatives every other week.

He will be the happiest with an alto because of its size.

30 minutes rides don't exhaust any one. Alto has relatively soft seats.

Get an AGS version of Alto for him. He would love you.

I think Swift is the car for the purpose. With the company rolling out the newer model, parts for the older one will remain cheap.

I bought the 2017 Swift for 1408k incl. registration, kept it stock drove it a good 80,000km and sold it for 1725k earlier this year (2022) as i bought the 3rd Gen Swift. Suzuki is never a bad investment. But if you're looking for a 5 years old car to multiply your investment it's not happening to be fair.

Based on the present trend one can safely say that the asset (Swift2018) won't disappoint you by loosing too much that too depending on how good a car you bought and how well you keep it for the next 5 years. Moreover, it will give u a solid and comfortable ride as compared to the contemporaries. It will be high on fuel consumption that's for sure, but for an occasional driver it really doesn't matter. Plus Swifts have a market with buyers of its own, it ultimately does sell when the proposition makes sense, rather quickly. To be close to the market, the choice of colors and body condition will be a key factor after 5 years when fever for good old models sets in.

I'm not a fan of imported cars because of imported parts and inconvenience in sourcing them as they age, so I'll naturally advise in favor of local options. Although vitz is a good car, it's honestly not my appetite. I'd rather go for a well maintained, home driven, stock-non accidented Swift in good overall shape with its maintenance history available.

The front seats of Alto are same as of cultus, the cabin is specious too. Short city rides on front seats are pleasurable.

Thanks for the detailed response. We bought our current 2005 city for 7 lak in 2012, now selling it for 9 lak in 2022. So if a 17 year old car can appreciate in value Im not sure why we can not expect the same from a 5 yr old car that we expect to sell at the 10 yr mark. (ofcourse this is assuming the dollar will continue to beat the pants off the rupee).

I also agree that Swift will be a better investment. A 1300cc hatchback will give a smooth riding experience. I have ridden in an Alto. It is too compact and seems underpowered.
