Best option in Rs 6.1 million

[m.usama2]

Hi

I have Rs. 6.1 million (on the road) limit to buy a new car. I pretty much confused while making a choice.
Options are as follows
1. I like peugeot 2008 Allure but not sure about spare parts and after sales services (plus turbo demands hi octane and its way costlier than normal fuel)
Resale ??? Being French
2. Elantra GLs (it is a beautiful car). My friends suggest me to get this one. However, I have heard that spare parts are extremely expensive. I would get my car Insured though but still kinda afraid. Plus heard about doors require brutal force to close and paint Job is pathetic.
Resale? What would be the future of elantra if next gen launches very soon
3. Cherry tigo (its Chinese...so that's a big question mark and I have ni knowledge about it)
4. Haval (seriously have no idea) but it's so beautiful
5. Grande (it's soooooo over sold car and you see it everywhere and have 2016ish looks) however its a safe bet in case of spare parts and Resale
6. Civic oriel (but I'll have to stretch myself for Rs 4 lakh I guess)

Please car gurus help me out. I am not car savvy at all

You have mentioned the pros and cons yourself. What are your requirements? Hatchback / Sedan / Crossover / Suv / Pickup Truck? Fuel efficiency? Uniqueness? Passenger / luggage capacity? Spares and resale?

You should specify these, else you already have made a comparison.

I like SUV more than sedan. Peugeot 2008 seems like a deal. However, I am u sure about availability of spare parts and after sales services. Plus it's a new car in market I am unable to find concrete owners' reviews. And being French car and prevailing religious sentiments, I am unsure about Resale.
Then I have 2nd priority i.e. elantra GLS. (Issues I have mentioned as per hearsay)
If am left with no option then I see Grande as a Go GO.

I need validation from some Guru upon the issues I have mentioned and direction that this option is safest even with its cons.

Thanks

Which city do you live in?

[m.usama2]

Lahore.

If parts and resale is priority, get a Grande first or second civic.

In SUV, Sportage is little safe in terms of resale n all. Peugeot will hardly have any at the moment.

Forget tiggo miggo.

i visited Peugeot dealership on expressway isb, they have all parts in stock, they run a fully settled dealership with all bells and whistles.
It's sales have been going great lately as per the news.
civic oriel has like 1 year plus delivery time, and honestly for me personally i feel like is underpowered, and it is totally stripped out even at that price.
elentra well 2.0 has big taxes and wht, otherwise has been doing fair in the market.
grande 1.6 cvt is in the talks with new rims and tiny changes, check with your delarship.

[arslanawan222]

also kia is offering limited time discount of around 2.5 on fwd and awd sportage and around 1 on alpha.
you can get a alpha too in your range

[m.usama2]

So do you see Resale market of peugeot? Plus is there any possibility that lucky motors would rollback from peugeot in Pakistan? I mean if that happens peugeot 2008s resale value would collapse.

You like SUV or SUV type shape. As this is different. Actual SUV like fortuner are extremely expensive. All these you mentioned are crossovers which are good feel to drive but can't take beat of real time off road. Peugot dealership have all bells and whistles but trust me would be very expensive to ring and blow those dealership bell and whistle. As time passed after purchase of new car, craze of new car diminishes quite a lot down and for maintenance we normally look hybrid solution, critical engine parts from dealership and less critical routine parts from 3rd party after market. Here you would be cornered when you have no choice and always turn yourself to expensive inventory of dealership. You have also keep in mind that Chinese brands desire more maintenance cycles and parts replacement these have traditional issue of reliability. I will recommend you to go for known and tested brands with major factors of parts price and resale other wise it will remain only your car for long long time. .

My friend recently bought Oshan X7 and its awesome. Proton X70 is also a decent choice.

[m.usama2]

Sir please also shed light on possibility of haval jolion. As it's also in my budget. If I won't be buying this crossover then I'll go for elantra GLS. Sportage alpha is too basic plus elantra has only 30 days delivery time.

[m.usama2]

It's beyond my range

[StoneCold316]

Haval is beatiful Suv and showroom is also in my building and i feel that haval build quality is better then Peugeot 800

[m.usama2]

Wow !
What about after sales services and availability of spare parts? I think they are not booking currently

[m.usama2]

Just called Haval dealer. Haval jolian booking is closed upto Jan 2023 most probably.

Pls don't get offended but you know your financial capacity, I don't know. In life we all calculate our risk factor knowinlg or unknowingly, and wise thing is that we all calculate our risk and it's impact consequences on us. Haval is good and looks good if you have plenty of money and don't mind to bear the risk of new entrant when it's durability and maintenance issues are not well exposed then go for that otherwise stay back and watch . Good to learn from mistake but far good to learn from others people mistake. You remeber in very near past we had MG boom but soon many things came up and now see we have very mixed reactions by real MG users . You have 02 options either go for tested and verified solution and chill or go for new entrant and hope for good. If you go for second option of Haval I will brotherly suggest wait at least 1 year and then ask from genuine users on road ....people are very coperative and provide good in and out. I was in same dilemma and was hanging between MG and Fortuner Sigma but after using same on road views I in end settled for latter, tested and verified. But pls ask users not intended sellers those may manipulate to sell their vehicles

Haval is good SUV in karachi on Shahrae faisal Opposite the FTC building that showroom which in located on Emaar tower .that showroom delivering Havals sales part i will confirm Today..

Haval Build quality is good brother i did the test drive one of my colleauge bought it and he is happy with it..
you better visit the showroom and do the test drive ... i mean if you consider sportage is good SUV the Haval is better then sportage its my perception

[m.usama2]

You are absolutely right. Quite logical. I was in dilemma as well.
I am not buying by my own cash. My employer is buying it for me(ill be contributing few bucks only). And my current financial position not sooo amazing.
Considering the risk factor and subsequent maintenance cost, I am left with two options in this price range: 1. Grande and 2. Elantra GLS.
Grande delivery time is more than 6 months
While elantra is delivered in 30 days.
If price increases I'll have to compensate for Grande. On the other hand this risk is minimised in case of elantra due to delivery time.
Now question is ... should I wait for grande and pay possible price hike and be extremely risk aversive plus new grande is expected to reach market soon which would also make my grande look outdated.
In contrast, If I buy elantra which is new to market. Has bigger engine, more features and is prettier but comes with a risk. As this car is on road for about 1.5 years. Ab mujhe ni confirm k itna period sufficient hai to expose a car and its manufacturer.

So
Is going with Elantra a calculated risk considering factors like resale, after sales market and availability of parts ?
