Best value for money Aspire 1.5 A/T vs Altis 1.6 A/T

[hasanmehmood59]

I got WHT refunded. But I sold including that. Most buyers end up paying WHT any way (non tax filers) so it does not matter to them. Now that puts me at disadvantage buying used car. Seller includes WHT (which I would not have paid if originally bought by me). No refund of WHT on used car bought from 3rd party. So there it is the dynamics of Pakistani market. New car purchase suits TAX PAYER.

Driving style mostly dictates consumption. Aggressive driving overtaking speeding hard braking. I think your consumption requirements might be met by Toyota Prius or CNG car like suzuki mehran.

If automatic is what you desire and moreover you need a car with good fuel average, than why dont you not go for Hybrid cars like Prius? I dont think Altis is a wise choice either after all its too mated with a 4 speed automatic transmission. Normally CVT give better millage compared to auto trany. Do give it a thought.

Experience wise Altis 1.6 is step up in everything compared to city, 1.8 cvt will give you slightly more mileage if you can stretch your budget. In karachi jam packed traffic i am getting 9.5-10 km/l with AC

Is there an android map for above mileage log? Pretty impressive

Drivvo, Fuelio, etc.

True that. Tax payer can't have the advantage of getting the WHT refunded in case of buying a used car. I paid 75,000 WHT recently on purchase of new car, but I can only refund 36,000 rupees by not having deducted income tax from my salary, before new financial year. Rest of the tax of 39k will not be refunded as the tax year will end in June

You can adjust WHT and you can carry it forward to next year as well. Someone misinformed you.

[hasanmehmood59]

Hybrid is expensive and reconditioned. Battery replacement once required will cost a lot. So it's a tie between Aspire 1.5 Auto vs Altis 1.5 Auto.

Altis is 2 Lac expensive than Aspire. Need to justify by additional features reliability and better mileage.

I am presently inclined towards Aspire as the best package deal.

[hasanmehmood59]

Since 9 months income tax was probably paid by employer on your behalf, you can only benefit from the remaining tax amount. Moral: Don't buy close to June.

[samahir]

Battery replacement doesnot cost that much .plus you get double the fuel avaerage which will be a big factor for people when price of petrol crosses 100 rs . Which will be around December this year

[hasanmehmood59]

On top of invoice price difference Altis 1.6 registration is based on 3% CVT compared to 2% for 1497cc Aspire 1 5
Overall dealers asking 48000 for Aspire registration and 80000 plus for Altis registration.

[samahir]

What does 3 percent cvt means ?

[umar6633]

New Prius is available at Toyota dealership. it will give the best result. Mileage will be higher than Altis aspire etc. no need to replace battery etc.

[zia1288]

New Prius from IMC is around 4.4 million Rs.

[hasanmehmood59]

CVT Capital Value Tax. Based on invoice price. Excluding registration expenses.
2% for cars upto 1500 cc. Aspire is 1497cc.

[umar6633]

Yes. Around 5million I think. It will beat aspire altis city in terms of mileage.
